Virtual folders as a filtered Tab to show files in a certain month of a certain location

Post by Schuller »

Hi,

I tried a few different ways but have not been successful so I'll ask here...
Is possible to use a virtual folder as a type of filter on a locked tab to only show files created in January in a particular location.
I know I can do this other ways already such as with the live filter and with visual filters but just wondering if virtual folders could be setup to achieve the same thing on a Tab, similar to the vi:<get pick 12.m "C:\Documents\"> //12 down

Thanks

But you could do it as a quicksearch, just create a new tab, lock it, then use "Relocate tab" and set the location to

C:\Documents?date: m 1 /fn

and I know you mentioned you already know about filtered tabs, but just in case, you could also use a location like this instead, but in this case you'd enter it in the address bar of a new tab first, then lock the tab afterwards:

C:\Documents|date f: m 1
