TC doesn't filter folders using search template

[MVV]

1. Press Ctrl+F12 and type in:

Code: Select all

|1*

You will see that TC now hides files with names like 1*.

2. Press Alt+F7, type in same mask and save template. Then apply saved template as filter using Ctrl+F12. Files 1* are hidden now.

3. Add new button to button bar and type a command:

Code: Select all

cd |1*

Press a button - TC will apply filter. Files 1* are hidden now.


Now modify filter like this:

Code: Select all

|1*\

And try to repeat steps 1-3 using new filter. Only 1 works, 2 and 3 don't hide folders (3 even doesn't change filter). Is it bug or non-realized feature?

07.02.06 Added: Include/Exclude certain directories in the current file list using the "Show" - "Custom" filter, e.g. *.* | *\ hides all dirs (for a file window used with tree view). Not working with "Define" button.

Is it bug or non-realized feature?

At least it is a documented behavior.

Indeed this is by design. Wildcards for folders in stored searches do NOT prevent TC from finding them, they just prevent that TC continues the search inside of these folders.
