HAPPY NEW YEEEEEAAARRR And a Question!

[capteelingurdian]

Hi!

First, HAPPY NEW YEAR to all! Hope everyone is well and got lots of days off.

I've got a filter for a specific extension for a program I'm using.

Trouble is, the app makes backups every day, so the results are FILLED with files I don't need to see.

Every backup has

_backup-

within the filename.

BUT! There's no uniformity. So, it could appear anywhere within some very long filenames.

Is there anything I can do to this filter so that it excludes ALL filenames containing

_backup-

Note, that's underscore, the word "backup" and then a dash.

Hoping not to implement it globally as I'm guessing there's a few other files with

backup

in the name I'd like to be able to always find. So, hoping to add it JUST to this filter.

Sincerely,

Captee

Happy New Year!
