attribute_value_filter Missing

Edgarlopez

I'm newbie and I was reading some material, but i'm stuck on the filter that applies after a kmeans operator:

The book says that 'Filter Example' node, you will see something like this:



However, no matter how i apply the filters, the menu at right sides is different, without 'parameter string' field:




Does anyone knows why?

Hi,

I think attribute value filter was buggy, and you can just do it with expression and custom_filter options and thats why we removed it. But I am not 100% sure, @Marco_Boeck do you remember?

Hi,

Correct. This was a weird syntax that existed purely in that one place and no longer necessary with the powerful Expression Parser und the simple custom_filters having repaced them much more effectively.

So, in other words, the first screenshot is not longer available anymore?

Hi @Edgarlopez ,

if you really really want to, you can change the operators comparability mode to 6.4. This option is on the very bottom of the parameter screen:

This way you get back the old behavior and as you can see you can use attribute_value_filter.

Anyhow, there is good reason why we deprecated this option in newer versions. So use this option with caution.

Best,

Martin
