FreeCommander Forum

Hi,

when I use Freecommander for searching "all" files for a containing text in a certain directory and try to exclude subfolders from the search, the subfolders aren't being ignored.

But I noticed that the exclude filter is only being ignored if I use "*.*" as the file name. If I specify a suffix like "*.txt" the exclude filter works like a charm.

Is this bug already known?

Please give more detailed step by step description how you

try to exclude subfolders from the search

You use wildcard search key "-\*<folder>" to exclude subfolders or switch off "Search in subfolders up to level"

Here is an example.

Location tab
https://onedrive.live.com/?id=B0AEC6B90 ... 90&o=OneUp

Filters tab
https://onedrive.live.com/?id=B0AEC6B90 ... uY&o=OneUp

As you can see, I did exclude the .svn folder, nevertheless I get results in sub-.svn folders.

You should use:

Subfolder filter: *\.svn\*;*\lib\*

Activate the option "Use for full subfolder path...".

Thanks, this did the trick.
