View multiple folders in one catalog item?

[Toby]

Hi guys,

First post. Just purchased this great piece of software recently. One problem I'm having is to do with items in the Catalog. I have two folders A and B. These folders each have subfolders. I know I can have one item in a category point to folder A and another item point to folder B. What if I want ONE item to point to the contents of both A & B together (i.e. merged)?

I tried editing the item and specifiying "Path A ; Path B" but this just crashed xyplorer, reverting me back to the default settings and crashing the catalog I was working on. The other thing I tried was using the "\? /:flatdirs" option which works but also shows parent Folder A and parent Folder B along with the subfolders. I just want to display the subfolders of A and B together if possible.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi and welcome,

you can do it like this (a non-recursive multilocation search):

Code: Select all

path1;path2?* /n

You say you crashed XYplorer? How exactly did you do this. I cannot reproduce a crash following your description.

Thanks Don. That fixed my problem!

As for the crash - I just tried entering what I did before and no crash. I'm not sure what happened previously.

Cheers.
