Macro/Bookmark/Filter Issue

Post by RyzaJr »

Hello,

I'm having issues with the bookmark macro feature not working with an applied filter.

I set up a bookmark to a network share. Example:
Search: "\\share\project files"
[ ] Remember Filter (unchecked)
Macro: z4

I also set up a filter like the following example:
Search: parent:search:
Macro:home<search>

If I manually click on the bookmark in the bookmark menu, it inserts "\\share\project files" into the search bar and the parent folder filter works fine, as shown below.

If I type z4: in the search bar and apply the parent folder filter, the only thing I see in the search results is ""\\share\project files" as a folder and I don't see the actual contents. An example is shown below.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for bringing this issue to my attention.

The bookmark filter is not expanded.
I've added this to my Things to fix list.

For now, please use a filter (instead of a bookmark) with the z4: macro as that will be correctly expanded.

Phew! Thought I was going nuts or missing something dumb.

I appreciate you looking into this.
