[SOLVED] Can I search for a folders' name only, not the content?

[chumbo]

That's it really, the question is in the subject line ;-)

It's seems to me it isn't possible because I couldn't find it under the 'Find Files' tab but as it often happens, XYPlorer always finds a way! :-)

As it is now for me, it can be a real pain when dealing with large directories with tons of files, it can take forever because it searches every file name while I'm actually on looking for a folder!

[chumbo]

Ha! I just found it (of course, XYPlorer does it all, as always!).

For those who stumble on this thread asking themselves the same question, it's in the Find Files tab (Ctrl+F), under the sub-tab 'Attributes', tick 'Directories' et voilà! :-)

I think you should be able to search for folder by preceding the name with a back slash... Like

Code: Select all

/FolderName

That seems intuitive to me.

EDIT: Actually I guess you can do it, but you have to sufix the slash.

Code: Select all

FolderName/

That's actually more intuitive.... My bad.[/quote]
