How to show both folders and pictures?

Post by eswul62 »

I can either
-filter on pictures (get files only), or
-filter on folders containing pictures (get folders only)

But .. what to use to have both folders and files displayed based on extension images?

Maybe it isn't possible though.

Thanks!

Selecting multiple filters is in development.

For now, please try the following search:

pic: | child:*.png | child:*.jpg | child:*.gif

pic: = picture filter
| = OR
child:png = folders containing png files.
child:jpg = folders containing jpg files.
child:gif = folders containing gif files.



If you find the above search helpful, please consider adding it as a filter:
  • In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
  • Change the Name to: Pictures or Folders.
  • Make sure the Search is set to: pic: | child:*.png | child:*.jpg | child:*.gif
  • Click OK.
Filters can be activated from the Search menu, Filter bar (View -> Filters), right clicking the status bar, filter macro or filter keyboard shortcut.


If you want picture files and any folder, please try the following search:

pic: | folder:


folder: = match folders only.

Super!

Thank you very much indeed.
It works fine.

It helps me a lot whilst reorganizing pictures and folders with pictures.
A powerful new feature in 1.5 is to select a folder and r-click drag it to another folder in the PATH.

Thanks again.
