Could you add "exclude" feature to the search files/folders function?
That would be extremely helpful!!!
Ex.
File name: *.*;-*.exe -> search every files except execution files.
Folders: C:\MyProj;-C:\MyProj\Build -> search within C:\MyProj folder and subfolders except C:\MyProj\Build
Thanks.

Re: [Feature Request]: Search files/folders exclude folders
Would be useful. I recommend using a different character in place of -, as - can be used in paths. i.e. just use an illegal character...or a ! that must be escaped if you want the actual character !.
Re: [Feature Request]: Search files/folders exclude folders
Filtering (include/exclude options) are very well implemented in MultiCommander.
I think that the same must be implemented in FC XE.
If a filter should match a folder then prefix the filter with a slash "/" and if you want to exclude any files prefix it with a dash "-". If a folder should be excluded use the dash first ( eg "-/MyFolder" )
"-/*" (without quotes.) this will exclude all folder
"/" Used to be for folder specific filter. And for exclude it still works "-/FolderToExclude"
"!" is used for Date filtering !today , -!today , !YYYY-MM-DD , -!YYYY-MM-DD
"!today" - only show file/folder with date from today
"-!today" - show all file Except the file/folder from today
"!2012-01-01" - Show file that are newer then 2012-01-01
"-!2012-01-01" - Show file that are older then then 2012-01-01
Using wildcard search you can also specify a exclude filter by including a - infront of the filter.
For example if you search for "*.cpp -base*"
This will find file named AlphaClass.cpp but it will not match BaseClass.cpp
"*.sql /*"
View filter starting with / specify a folder filter. So *.sql for only the sql files and /* to show all folders.

Re: [Feature Request]: Search files/folders exclude folders
By the way, if we want to filter (include/exclude) only files with NO extension. I can't find a way to do that. I tried entering "*." with and without the quotes and with and without a trailing space, but in vain.
Is it possible to filter (include/exclude) files with NO extension?
Any suggestions?

Re: [Feature Request]: Search files/folders exclude folders
At leisure studied innovations in XYplorer 14.80 and found some interesting improvements.
Find Empty Items. Now you can quickly list all empty files and folders.
Simply append the switch /e (for "empty") to the Name pattern in Quick Search (F3) or Find Files (Ctrl+F). For example:
* /e //find all empty items (zero byte files and empty folders)
a* /e //find all empty items starting with "a"
a* /ef //find all empty files starting with "a"
a* /ed //find all empty folders starting with "a"
Yes, in FC XE we have ">" and "<" ("greater" or "smaller" than XXX bytes (kb, mb)), but we have no "empty" concept.
May be there is need to implement something like that?
