Reoccurring problems with the Find Files Dialog
Posted: 16 Jul 2026 10:39
Hi all,
In the Find Files dalog:
1) I keep deselecting the "Selected locations" checkbox, but again and again I notice that "all of a sudden" it is checked again. That said, I work a lot with different tabs and sessions. What could be the cause? I don't want it to be checked.
2) Similar thing happens with the file types drop down in the Find Files dialog. Every once and again it changes to something else than "All types". I think that I accidently do that myself, not sure how. Is there a way how to "lock" that drop down vlaue so that I would have to jump through 3 loops in order to unlock it. I always want to have it fixed a the value "All types".
Thank you all for any (positive) feedback or ideas.
regards, auto
