[Solved] Browser Filter supports matching in file or folder(s) above
Posted: Tue May 24, 2022 2:00 pm
When browsing in flat view it would be very practical if you could not only match in the filename but in the entire path.
• I propose to have 4 icons next to the filter fields: folder, slash, file, glasses/sunglasses
• They could take the following states as depicted in their tooltips:
Use Cases Solution with the new filter toggles
1) You want to exclude all files and sub-files residing in folders entitled "_" "Match in any folder above" not matching "_"
2) You want to only show files in folders entitled "_production" "Match in any folder above" matching "_production"
3) You want to only show files containing "final" or files being in a parent folder "final" "Match in parent folder" ON + "Match in file name" ON + Matching "final". Note: "Match in parent folder" and "Match in file name" are combined with a logical OR. Matches a file which contains "final" or whose parent folder contains "final". Not necessarily both!
