In the File Attributes panel via Command, there are menus for selecting the Owner and Group.
It would be nice to be able to ALT-click instead of click on those menus to display only those owners and users that don't have a leading underdash ("_").
Would make it easier & quicker to select certain entries.
ALT-click for Owner & Group in File Attributes
Re: ALT-click for Owner & Group in File Attributes
Could you elaborate on rationale for this?
Re: ALT-click for Owner & Group in File Attributes
Those are two very long lists, and it would be a lot faster to choose e.g. 501 or wheel etc., if the list were trimmed down, ergo my idea for ALT-click.
Re: ALT-click for Owner & Group in File Attributes
That makes sense, I agree.
But what about other VFSs, like SFTP?
The same UI is used for changing owners on e.g. Linux boxes where it's not common to prefix usernames with underscores.
