Log filter controls and layout

Baseline: TortoiseGit 7338078f8ddd924b8cddee35f512f2286072136d, LogDlg.cpp filter handlers and IDD_LOGMESSAGE in TortoiseProcENG.rc.

The native header retains branch/reference selection, the From limitation menu and date, To date, a combined filter field/menu and the ten Jump choices with original up/down icons. Separate Search in and Search controls are replaced by the source's integrated filter. Whole Project/All Branches, path filter and Help occupy the lower filter row; Refresh/Statistics/Walk Behavior/View and OK/Cancel occupy the final row. Ordinary Logs retain only OK; revision selectors also show Cancel, following the source initialization. Working Tree visibility is in View. The revision graph, message and changed-file panes keep their existing behavior and resize handles.

The native revision field menu follows Subject, Messages, Paths, Authors, Emails, Revisions, Refname, Tag Info, Notes, configured Bug IDs, Toggle filters, All, regular expression and case-sensitive order. Original filter artwork respects the app menu-icon preference. The placeholder identifies selected fields; the menu uses native checkmarks. Filter choices load and save through the owning Log's preferences, including private picker/verification stores.

Typing coalesces for one second, following LOGFILTER_TIMER/FILEFILTER_TIMER. Return and clearing submit immediately. Escape clears a nonempty native field; this uses the native search-field convention for history and the explicit source path-filter shortcut. IME marked text is not submitted until committed. Path filtering now uses source word/phrase/negative/alternative/inverted matching over current and old names without reading Git; see scope and information.

ECMAScript validation uses the same owned UTF-16 helper as actual Log matching, including case mode and leading inversion. Invalid patterns retain the existing history; the field displays red text with error tooltip/accessibility help. As upstream, explicit Return directly refreshes and can reach the existing inactive-filter fallback for invalid syntax; validation protects timed typing.

Explicit Refresh cancels a pending typing timer. Replaced queries and closing cancel the validation token; late replies cannot reload history or show errors. Started helper work retains its Quit counter until settlement even after forced closure. Timers wait through another Git operation or owned sheet rather than replace it. Menu commands consume their captured popup generation once and reject a retired or blocked owner.

Verification and remaining work

The focused Core regex group and native filter receiver cover helper syntax, private settings, actual field/menu dispatch, typing coalescing, clear/Return/ Escape, invalid expressions, replacement and forced-close validation, Quit, minimum-size geometry and unchanged repository data. Native cancellation replies use controlled gates; Core's existing stalled-helper case verifies real owned process cleanup. The Debug build, eight Core tests and both final native engine cases passed. See the batch record for visual repairs, the rejected overlapping build and exact scope.

Physical typing/IME/menu/focus and VoiceOver, every locale/long branch name, signed/minimum-OS execution and all upstream Log options remain open. Native search fields and macOS fonts are explicit platform adaptations. Complete Log and application parity remain unproven.

The final unaltered captures were reviewed against the pinned Log screenshot and resource layout. From is readable at the minimum size; the graph, colorful reference badges, three panes and source command rows are present. These do not certify physical input, all source states or selected-row contrast in every theme. The following scope/information batch adds the source range/line totals and permanently visible Whole Project control; its own dated record separates later evidence from these initial captures.
