Exclude Location by FILTER

Post by capteelingurdian »

Hi!

I know I can create a filter to look ONLY in these places with the following

"C:\Users\user\Pictures\" | "C:\Users\user\Desktop\" | "C:\Users\user\Downloads\" | "C:\Users\user\Documents\"

in the

Organise Filters > Search

field.

Is there anything I could add there to EXCLUDE a specific location? Particularly this one:

"C:\Users\user\Documents\Outlook Files"

I know I can do it at the GLOBAL level, but I'd like to have it globally in use, but NOT in use for this fliter.

THANKS!

The exclamation mark in front means Not

!"C:\Users\user\Documents\Outlook Files"

Ah! Seems I'm doing something wrong. I tried:

"C:\Users\user\Pictures\" | "C:\Users\user\Desktop\" | "C:\Users\user\Downloads\" | "C:\Users\user\Documents\" | !"C:\Users\user\Documents\Outlook Files"

But, that changed the filter to Everything, everything - like ALL items / default

While

"C:\Users\user\Pictures\" | "C:\Users\user\Desktop\" | "C:\Users\user\Downloads\" | "C:\Users\user\Documents\"

cabins itself to JUST these locations.

What do you think is happening?

Sincerely,

Please AND your not filter:

<"C:\Users\user\Pictures\" | "C:\Users\user\Desktop\" | "C:\Users\user\Downloads\" | "C:\Users\user\Documents\"> !"C:\Users\user\Documents\Outlook Files"

< > = grouping
| = OR
space = AND
