When using column profile - condition "All subfolders <sub>" it doesn't work in subfolders, I have to add "*", then it works, but the Example is wrong either, "*\fotos" doesn't work, I think it should work in subfolders automatically, even without "*" at the end, since it's in the name of the option. (if not possible, then the Example should be corrected).
<mask>*pictures* doesn't work at all, it works only in C:\Pictures - it doesn't work in subfolders. Not sure if this is a feature or bug though.

Works fine for me. The mask is used only for the folder name.<mask>*pictures* doesn't work at all, it works only in C:\Pictures - it doesn't work in subfolders. Not sure if this is a feature or bug though.
IMPORTANT: if you change the folder, FreeCommander search from the top of the list, the right profile. Your <mask>*pictures* may not work at all due to the order in the list.
Re: 730 - Column profiles - condition issues
Thanks for the reply, Marek.
I still think, it's a bit confusing, since the option says "All subfolders" and it's possible to use the browse button to add folders, so the normal / new user may think it should work automatically is "all subfolders", moreover, the example is not very helpful either.
I suggest to add / change the example, at least, something like this:
Or perhaps the name "All subfolders" should be changed to "All folders"?

*\fotos (for all folders with this name), *\fotos* (for all folders with this name incl. all subfolders)
Re: 730 - Column profiles - condition issues
I realize this is an old topic; however, I found it due to likewise being confused as to why setting the condition All Subfolders doesn't actually result in all subfolders displaying the same columns.
For example, the condition <sub>D:\Music does not actually result in all subfolders of Music on the D drive displaying the same columns as the Music folder itself.
So, yes, I concur with the original poster that most users will interpret it the same way and therefore be confused as to why it isn't working as expected.
