Searching files within a folder containing a specific word

Post by n2R2 »

Is there a way to only show files if their parent folder includes a specific word ?

I would like to show files (photos) if their parent folder includes the word : "done"
Then I could choose to show or hide via "!"

Thx

Everything 1.4:

To find files/folders directly in a folder with the name containing done, search for:
regex:done[^\\]*\\[^\\]*$

The following works if you want to find "done" in any parent:
*done*\*

If the folder name ends with "done" the following will work:
done\



Everything 1.5:

parentname:done

The following works if you want to find "done" in any parent:
pathpart:done
