Search, Filter: Folders

[hannes_hab]

Is it also possible to search/filter for folders/directories names

[Mario]

Sure. Where?

You can search and filter the list of folders shown in the Media & Folders View: The Filter Tab

You can use the Folders filter in the the Filter Panel.
This allows you to filter any scope for one or more folders (e.g. specific folders in a year or a category or collection or event or folders containing files for one or more persons or ...)

You can use the Search Bar in the File Window and make it search for folder names.

If these features are new to you, the help will provide all the information you need.

not sure it I dont do it the right way, but it does not work as I would expect:

Filter: I can select Verzeichnisse (Hab zuerst nach "Ordnern" gesucht und Verzeichnisse übersehen) - ok
Then I can manually add or subtract folders (by folder) - but I cannot type in HABSA or *HABSA* (Filterausdruck eingeben) and only all pictures in a folders containing these name-part are shown.

It seams that this field is only for filtering the Verzeichisse-Filter but the arrows dont work (would expect that the next folder would be highlighted ...)

Same in the Search-Bar - works fine with part of the filenames but not with foldernames here - if  I select the folder 08 and then type in HABSA or *HABSA* nothing is shown.
Could it be that this does not work with all preferences for that panel?

Search bar - da hab ich nun das Untermenü neben dem X entdeckt - Verzeichnisse ausgewählt - nun funktioniert es - das passt!

Beim Filter rätsle ich noch ...

[Mario]

The search field in the Folder filter does not support * - what made you think that?
It uses a simple contains mode so searching for HABSA should do the trick? No *

1) OK - maybe Stupidity  - Search bar is already solved 

2) Folder Filter
In Help : The Folder filter works exactly as the Category filter explained above, but for folders.
With Category filter - the arrows work - but they dont work in the Folders Filter

With Category filter - the arrows work - but they dont work in the Folders Filter

This was a small glitch. I have fixed that for the next release.
