Folder Filter Restricted to Specific Locations?

Post by capteelingurdian »

Hi!
I use this a lot to filter just the items that I'm working on:

"C:\Users\user\Pictures\" | "C:\Users\user\Desktop\" | "C:\Users\user\Downloads\" | "C:\Users\user\Documents\"

I see there's a default global

Folder

filter. Could I create the same? Such that it would show ONLY those folders in

"C:\Users\user\Pictures\" | "C:\Users\user\Desktop\" | "C:\Users\user\Downloads\" | "C:\Users\user\Documents\"

MANY thanks!

To create a filter to search folders only in specific locations:
  • In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
  • Change the Name to: Folders in My Locations
    (can be anything you like)
  • Change the Search to:

    Code: Select all

    folder: "C:\Users\user\Pictures\" | "C:\Users\user\Desktop\" | "C:\Users\user\Downloads\" | "C:\Users\user\Documents\"
    
  • 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.
