include ONLY FOLDERS

Post by anmac1789 »

Please have a include only folders. I have seen so many instances with this program and other programs where this is missing and it tends to make up complicated methods and codes. Just like how files are important, folders exclude/include are equally as important. Please incorporate this feature as I think many people would stop asking questions around folder inclusion. You already have Exclude Files/Include only files and Exclude folders -- but you don't have include only folders

Do you mean in-/excluding them in the searchbar? Proceed your search with folder: or file:
There is already a filter for folders (Menu:Search > Folder ). You can create your own similar one for files if you want.

I think you want something different.
Can you give a real-world example of folders to include/exclude where things get complicated?

Include only folders can be specified for each NTFS volume under Tools -> Options -> NTFS -> volume
