Negating Filters Not Seeming To Work

Post by AnonyMouse »

Ok, maybe I'm doing something wrong here.....

I have a filter called local and the search criteria is C: | D:

If I want to see non-local entries, I can type ! local : and see the non C: & D: entries, e.g. I can now see my T: & U: drive entries that I have.

I press Ctrl-Shift-F to create a new filter, leave Match Path enabled and type network as the name of the filter and the macro name.

When I then try network, it does not cancel the local files display, but shows all files from C:, D:, T: & U:

I've also tried changing the local filter to only show C: files (removing any possible issue with the OR set), but again, I see the full list of files as if I've no filter in effect.

I'm running version 1.3.0632b

Many thanks,

Kev

Macros are not expanded in the filter's search.

I have fixed this for the next release of "Everything".

For now, replace the !local: in your filter's search with:

Code: Select all

!<c: | d:>

I was not aware of the issue, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I also discovered a few other issues that have been fixed for the next beta release of Everything:
!macro: does not work (For example: !audio:)
Filter searches are not expanded with environment strings (if that option is enabled)
