Conflict filtering

Question

 

Is there a substantial difference in results between filtering conflits by right-clicking the left panel and selecting: Apply filter to show conflict losers -OR- using the Apply conflict script?

Not sure where you have this apply conflict script. 

 

Filtering scripts available by default are :

 

-> Apply Filter For Cleaning

Same effect as right click -> apply filer for cleaning

 

-> Apply custom scripted filter

Useless if not modified by the user. Only needed for custom script that require actual scripting, otherwise the "Apply Filter..." GUI is much more convenient.

 

-> Apply filter for deleted navmesh

No direct equivalent in the UI, does the same thing as "Apply Filter..." with "deleted" checked, and "filter by signature" check with only "NAVM" checked in the list.

Sooo....Filter from main panel? or Conflict status script? Is there any difference between the two. xedit included it for a reason I am sure, what I am wondering.

Yes. The specific "Apply Filter to show Conflict Losers" does just that. It will search the entire plugin list and then show ONLY those plugins that are losing a conflict.

Selecting the generic "Apply filter" will present you with the dialogue where you choose which criteria to filter and using the default settings will show you all the conflict losers AND any other plugin that has a record that is used by another plugin, whether or not it is winning or losing.
