Search from Catalog

Post by Cariocecus »

Hi,
It is possible to run a search directly from the catalog?

My photo library is organized in this way:
[Drive]\Photos\[Year]\[Month]\[Day]

Some folders contain videos and I want to find them directly from a shortcut on the catalog.

It´s possible to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome!

Those videos have a particular extension?

Thanks Don ;)

Most of them are .mp4, but I have some .avi, .mov and .mkv too.

Ok, that's easy. You create a new Catalog item and enter this as Location:

Code: Select all

?*.mp4;*.avi;*.mov;*.mkv
Clicking this item will run the search in the current location.

FYI, the ? makes it a search.

Note: I just saw that the item will not get the correct "Quick Search" icon. This is a bug. It will work in the next version.
