Feature request: tick box for 'file:' 'folder:' etc

Post by kazzybash »

hello void,

hereby another feature request. There are a number of standard search options (if that's the right name for them) I put in my bookmarks list. Say 'file: ' or 'folder: '

When working with these options I have to add something to them, say 'folder: that' or 'folder: this'. It would be convenient to have a simple tick box, say next to 'subfolders' down the window, for switching on/off these options. In changing the this or that one easily erases the option itself in the process.

Maybe this would be an interesting thing to implement.

Thank for reading, kind regards, Kazzy

You can certainly add Files and Folders to your list of Filters, and then make sure you have View -> Filter bar enabled. Just select either from the droplist.

A search bar with check boxes for files only / folder only is on my TODO list.

Thank you for the suggestion.



To find folders only include the following in your search:
\

To find files only include the following in your search:
!\

To quickly jump between files/folders in the result list, press \ in the result list.

thanks a lot David!

I could not make sense of the last command (\ in the search results) but the slashes do work!
