[2.0.29] Inserter with empty filter list confuses Alt mode image between blacklist and whitelist

Post by hgschmie »

An inserter, whitelist-filtering a specific item, shows this item in Alt mode:

An inserter, blacklist-filtering a specific item, shows this item striked out in Alt mode:

But when the filter list is empty, it shows an empty field if blacklist is selected:

And an empty, striked-out field when whitelist is selected:

That is ... confusing. :-)

This makes perfect sense, whitelist nothing is blacklist everything and vice versa.

For anyone else having trouble parsing that comment:
  • When in blacklist mode with no filters, the inserter will happily pickup anything
  • When in whitelist mode with no filters, the inserter will pick up nothing (i.e. it's like completely disabling the insetter)
This is intentional as it follows the usual logical interpretation of white & blacklist.
