Tdesktop: [Feature Request] Hide chat sorted nito folders from the All Chats list

Created on 30 Mar 2020 · 11Comments · Source: telegramdesktop/tdesktop

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Not necesarily a problem.

Describe the solution you'd like

Have there be an option so the chats that are already sorted into folders do not show up in All Chats.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I archive the chats right now but that is very unmaintainable and my actual archived chats are now unorganized mess.

Additional context

None

api issue

This feature would be great! Because those chats that are unsorted (not in any other folder) I have to search in "All chats" mess of tens other chats. And there's no possibility to create sort of "unsorted" folder because of a lack of an appropriate filter (#7528 would help, but it's closed... why?).

As a workaround, you can archive a chat, so it will not be shown in the main list but still shown in folders.

As for the request, if doing this, it should be exactly an option, not a mandatory thing.

That's exactly what I wrote above

what do you mean by "this must be api"?

I am going to copypaste my suggestion from #7528.

Completely unfiltered "All chats" feed makes sense and obviously should stay.

What I suggest is to add another inclusion filter for folders (similar to Muted, Archived, etc) that would select only orphaned chats and groups that are not assigned to any folder.

It means it should be supported by server first.

@reallyuniquename, well, yes, it's better to do this on server, but it can be done on client only as well :)

I think it would work simply as a local flag to just hide the menu entry. I don't mind it not being synced across devices

8326 can replace this I guess
