Ctrl-F should set the Find "Location" to current dir

[leinad]

Is there a way to easily set the "Location" in the "Name & Location" tab to the current folder?

Usually when I use the search functionality I don't quite know in which folder the file(s) reside, so I try various folders sequentially (ie first I start with "2011\11 - nov", then move over to "2011\12 - dec" when I didn't find the file in the first one). Ideally I could just open the folder, hit Ctrl-F, and the Location would be automatically adjusted to the current folder, instead of me having to type it in.

Kind regards,
Daniel

That's normally what the auto-sync checkbox of Find Files tab is for...I will sometimes just tick/untick it to set location to current but leave it (option) unchanged for future usages.

Oh, great, this is even better than the Ctrl-F suggestion. Thanks!

Edit: Wow, this is even more impressive when used with "Selected Locations". Perfect!

Sometimes the answer is right in front of you and you don't see it because you're not looking for it! Happens to me also now and then!
