When one makes a file list (by pressing CTRL+S) it's easy to forget to clear the search field

Post by Biff »

When one makes a file list (by pressing CTRL+S) it's easy to forget to clear the search field if you wanted a file list of the entire content of the selected folder. It's also easy to forget about checking "Subfolders". Is there a way to automatically do this? Or may be a window / options in the save / export window to clear the search field, check "Subfolders"?

I will consider adding more options to the export (Save As) dialog to clear the current search.

For now, Everything will export the current results. (or the current selection if you enable that option)

Thank you very much!
(or the current selection if you enable that option)
Sorry, what does that mean. What option?

Export selection only (a checkbox at the bottom of the Save as dialog):

If checked, only selected items are exported.

If unchecked, all results are exported.

Can't get it working here that way (always):

This does not export any file:

If "Export selection only" is enabled, only items selected in the result list are exported.

I am guessing you have no items selected in your result list.
Please leave "Export selection only" unchecked.
