only show files, no folders.

Post by onyx »

hello. i was wondering if it were possible to only show files in my search results by using the excludes. right now i have it set up so it only shows files with an .rdo extension, but it also lists folders in the search location as well.

pretty much, i have Everything set up to index a particular folder. in that folder are about 7 subfolders, each folder containing a couple hundred .rdo files. but when i open up Everything without typing in a search string, it lists only those .rdo files but also all those sub folders. i know i can type in ".rdo" with the search string, and it will filter out the subfolders from view, but i'm trying to find a way to just have them completely unlisted without having to do this.

I have implemented filters for the next release.

Filters will allow you to show file results only.

You can test this now with the latest alpha release.

To add a new file only filter:
  • In "Everything", from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Filters tab.
  • Click New.
  • Enter Files Only for the filter name.
  • Set the Search Filter to

    Code: Select all

    file:
  • Click OK.
To select the new file only filter:
  • In "Everything", from the Search menu, open the Filter sub menu, click Files Only.

Can filter be specified on search line ?
Clicking makes things slower.

IPC maybe ?
