File mask on startup path

Post by RPrinceton »

Hello,
I know I can apply a Live Filter once files are in the Explorer.
I also know I can save a session as an .ini file and then use the /ini switch to bring the same view back up.
I am trying avoid having to go thru these steps when a simple mask specified on the startup path would work.
e.g., /path="C:\SomeDir\A*" would retrieve all files in dir C:\SomeDir that begin with the letter A.
Or is there an undocumented command line switch e.g., /livefilt or /mask?
I have looked thru the Forum, however no real solution.
Thank you advance.

There is the filter() scripting function, which you can use to apply a Live-Filter on startup. Add it to your command, but check the help file for more info...

Code: Select all

"C:\Path\To\XYplorer.exe" /script="::filter('>^A', 8)"
