Why does this filter not show that folder?

Why does this find the folder:


And why does this filter ("Film") not show that folder:


Filter "Film" (excerpt):

Code: Select all

 | "V:\Filme\" | "V:\Konzerte\" | "T:\Konzerte\" | "T:\Filme\" | "Z:\Filme\" | "H:\Filme\" | "H:\Konzerte\" | "I:\Eigene Dateien\Videos\2.Serien\" ext:3g2;3gp;3gp2;3gpp;amr;amv;asf;avi;bdmv;bik;d2v;divx;drc;dsa;dsm;dss;dsv;evo;f4v;flc;fli;flic;flv;hdmov;ifo;ivf;m1v;m2p;m2t;m2ts;m2v;m4b;m4p;m4v;mkv;mp2v;mp4;mp4v;mpe;mpeg;mpg;mpls;mpv2;mpv4;mov;mts;ogm;ogv;pss;pva;qt;ram;ratdvd;rm;rmm;rmvb;roq;rpm;smil;smk;swf;tp;tpr;ts;vob;vp6;webm;wm;wmp;wmv;iso;disc;srt;sub;idx;txt

Because of the ext: ....... part : none of those extensions matches
(ext: doesn't work on folders at all, btw)



You can shorten (this part of) your filter to:

Code: Select all

| ":\Filme\" | ":\Konzerte\" |  "I:\Eigene Dateien\Videos\2.Serien\"    video: | ext:iso;disc;srt;sub;idx;txt | folder:

(and that includes folder: to also search for folders)

Ah yes, the extensions, so there is no way to include the folders when keeping those extensions?

You can shorten (this part of) your filter to:

Code: Select all

| ":\Filme\" | ":\Konzerte\" | "I:\Eigene Dateien\Videos\2.Serien\" video: | ext:iso;disc;srt;sub;idx;txt | folder:

(and that includes folder: to also search for folders)

Thank you, that would be very good and shorten the content (14 lines in Notepad++) of the filter very much. So this works if there is not any folder named "Konzerte" and / or "Filme" which should be excluded from the results? Or, if there were such folders I could exclude them in another way, I guess, may be with a "!" or so before or after the path in the filter.

And how could I shorten this: "I:\Eigene Dateien\Videos\2.Serien\"
Like that: "\2.Serien\"

[Biff]

And could I somehow make the filter content a bit clearer? Order the paths / folders alphabetically and / or in columns or so?

14 lines ?!?

If you post your (complete) Filme filter here, I and all the other good people here can take a look at it to optimize it.

( Alternatively, you could send it to me directly)
