[2.0.10] Loaders in input configuration ignore filter
Posted: Fri Oct 25, 2024 2:24 am
Now that the GUI is available for input configured loaders. When a filter is set it is ignored by the input loader and still transfers items that do not match the filter.
On one had I can sort of see an argument that says since a loader is a dead end, everything should be dumped into the container. If this is the intention, It should not accept filters if in input mode - either by the GUI, script, or signal.
However, it has been a common use case to use setting the filter by signal as an on / off switch that does not require defining a specific signal in the loader / inserter.
I think it would be reasonable to have the same pattern available regardless of the loaders in/out mode.
