Is there any way of simplifying additions to filters? I like how it's done in the temporary excludes section...just add file or folder rather than manually typing in a path (which I inevitably get wrong most of the time).
The only thing is, is that unlike the temp exclude section I have several entries on one line in filters,
eg: !*.mp4 !*.flv !*.ts !"C:\Users\user\Desktop\to delete\FirefoxPortable\" !d:ff !*.ahc !"c:\programdata\test\" !"c:\program files\test\"
It's also very awkward doing this in the small text box provided.
Also, because it's so much easier to remember would it be possible to use plain English modifiers AND, OR, NOT etc?
Adding filters
Re: Adding filters
The planned 'Search builder' might come in handy here..
I will consider a ... button to the right of the search box in the filter edit dialog to open the search builder dialog.
With the search builder you will be able to (well the plan is to) build multiple queries with a simple interface.
To enable literal search operators:
For example:
abc AND 123
abc OR 123
NOT abc
Use double quotes if you want to search for literal AND, OR or NOT.
For example, to find a filename containing the word AND, search for:
"AND"

- In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the Search tab on the left.
- Check Allow literal operators.
- Click OK.

Re: Adding filters
Thanks...the 'search builder' would be great. Looking forward to seeing it.
The filter facility is useful for more selective filtering than the temp excludes but hopefully you'll also be able to include, as you mentioned, a multiple temporary exclude lists.
The combination of the three things should hopefully cover every contingency.
And as a bonus it will cut down on my swearing and threats to throw my PC out of the window :0)
