Add to filters - does not work if multiple extensions are entered

Post by Ya-Grisha »

Hello!
Thank you for the excellent program, it saves a lot of time, unlike the regular Windows search engine!

I tried to set up quick filters for my tasks, but it didn't work out, for some reason custom filters work only if they have no more than one format for search.

Please prefix your search with ext:

For example:

ext:psd;sesx;aep;prproj



ext: will match a semicolon (;) delimited list of extensions.

ext:



If you don't want to match extensions, use an OR list:

psd|sesx|aep|prproj

| = OR

Thank you very much! It's working!
My inattention, I apologize, I did not see that in other filters there is also "ext:".
Creative success to you!

There are small suggestions for the program:
The cross button in the search field to delete the word you are looking for;
Quick disk filters. So that you can disable unnecessary disks from the search;
Horizontal scrolling of the list with the Shift button pressed;
Dark theme.

Everything 1.5 will add:
  • A clear search button on the right of the search box. (I'll consider a x button for each word -this just clears the whole search)
  • A treeview / folder sidebar (View -> Folders) which might help limit your search to specific disks.
  • Shift + Mousewheel will scroll horizontally by default.
  • A dark theme (View -> Theme -> Dark)
Thank you for the suggestions.
