filter to show docs and folders

Post by zoechow »

Hi all, thanks for everyone helping on so many different questions about such a great tool. I would like to have a filter that shows both documents and folder names. I can't see how to get that to work under "organize filters". It doesn't seem to work to add folder: to a list of extensions. Is it possible? thanks in advance!

I believe path: is what you're looking for.
See if adding that to your Filter works?

path:2022

Would find filenames &/or file paths that contain "2022".

Thanks, but I can't get that to work either. So under organize filters, I try to make one with a bunch of document extensions included and then also path: (or folder: for that matter) at the end, like this:

ext:c;csv;doc;docm;docx;dot;dotm;dotx;pdf;potx;potm;ppam;ppsm;ppsx;pps;ppt;pptm;pptx;rtf;sldm;sldx;thmx;txt;vsd;wpd;wps;wri;xlam;xls;xlsb;xlsm;xlsx;xltm;xltx;path:

But it doesn't work. path: seems to change nothing. folder: seems to make it not return any results at all.

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, and that thanks for the helping sluething it.

Please try the following filter search:

Code: Select all

doc: | folder:
doc: = match your Document filter. (using the Document filter macro: doc)
| = OR
folder: = match folders only.
