File searches by type (extension)

[WolfGirl]

Hi,

I read the forum history here but strangely nothing helped me.

I need to search files by type for example: jpg. jpge. .png .bmp .gif .ico .rar

Code: Select all

*.jpg *.jpge *.png *.bmp *.gif *.ico *.rar

what is the correct systaxis and how to set the search for certain file types settings so that it is permanently saved?

You can use the search string you gave yourself in the "Search for" field on the General tab. If you need to use the plugin field for whatever reason, you need to specify each extension in a separate rule and combine them with a logical OR. Within the rule, the field must be specified exactly like it appears in a filename, e.g.

Code: Select all

jpg

To save a search, use the Load/Save tab.

AHA! you are right it works, thank you.

And it is probably not possible to somehow save this (search-types-files) permanently?

As I said: Use the Load/Save tab of the Find Files dialog. Be sure to remove the path from the "Search in" field before saving (unless you intend to find files only in the same location).

oh, I thought this setting was for something else, thank you!
