Something is wrong with sorting in the latest version

Post by abr01 »

I am using sort by date created, in the 'everything' column. Normally, i would have all kinds of file types mixed, non-alphabetically. But even though i have the same setting, all items in the names list seem to be grouped in a very alphabetical way. As if there is some secondary sorting being applied. Also, the newest item in the list is from August 2024.

I have also made a test, creating a new document, which should immediately should have added to the very top, but didn't.
It seems to be caused by some filters, like this one:

!*.log !*.bak !*.peak !*.cpr !*.pak !K:\Frösche\Drive !S:\ProtonSync\My files

Is there any wrong syntax in my filter, maybe? The issue seems to be fixed, when i remove that filter line.

File foldernames that contain spaces, need to be enclosed in "" :
!S:\ProtonSync\My files => !"S:\ProtonSync\My files"

Your search query can be simplified:

Code: Select all

!ext:log;bak;peak;cpr;pak  !K:\Frösche\Drive  !"S:\ProtonSync\My files"

No worries, more than half of my "self inflicted wounds" involve missing quotes ...
