Hide specific files from view

Post by *Digika »

I'm using etailed view with system and hidden files visible because I need them. However, on some drives/in some location there are junk files I dont need to know about (temporal swap file on ram drive for example) and I would like to hide it. Is there a way to do it? I know there is "Custom filter" but that would imply I somehow have to add all possible extensions I want. An inverted version of that would be nice.

TC Help > search "ignore" >>>>find "Configuration - Ignore list "


Configuration - Ignore list
Ignore specific files/folders: They will be neither displayed nor copied.
Only files in the file system can be ignored. Files on ftp servers, within archives, plugins or virtual folders like the desktop cannot be ignored.
  (((find me: hide hidden don't do not show display invisible unseen)))

Konfigurieren - Ignorierliste
Erlaubt das Ignorieren gewisser Dateien/Ordner: Diese werden weder angezeigt noch kopiert. Nur Dateien im Dateisystem können ignoriert werden.
Dateien auf FTP-Servern, in Archiven, Plugins oder virtuellen Ordnern wie dem Desktop können nicht ignoriert werden.
  (((finde mich: versteckt verstecken nicht anzeigen unsichtbar ausblenden)))

There's the ignore list in Options > Ignore list. Select the files, open the options, then you can click "Add selected names with full path" button. To temporarily see them, you can toggle the ignore list with cm_SwitchIgnoreList command (e.g. on a button).

You can use ignore list as suggested, you can also use filter in a button or an alias.

Code: Select all

CD |*.swap *.dump .*\
| indicate the exclusion part,
*.swap *.dump exclude all swap and dump files,
.*\ (ending with \)exclude all folder starting with "."

Code: Select all

CD *.* 
restore normal
You can define a custom view for a specific drive with a starting command that filter what you want to hide.
