Multi Directory Search with Wizard

I'm new to the program, so there might be a way to do this, that I may not know.

When I do Find Files command, there is a 'select multiple location' check box, but with you click on the 'directory wizard' it does not allow you to pick multiple directories, (you can key them in manually and use the | to seperate them) but It would be nice if the directory browser had check box's by each directory so you can pick them.

Hi,

the tree does not support multiple selections. But the list does. If the "Selected Locations" checkbox is ticked, all selected folders are searched.

PS: If you want to search directories that do not easily appear in one listing, you can collect links (aka shortcuts, *.LNK files) to those directories in one place and then use the Follow Folder Links feature to search them. Of course this is only worth the trouble when you search the same directories repeatedly.
