Wild Cards In Search Path

Post by zion86336 »

This is I am sure very elementary for most of the brilliant folks here. Forgive me, but can someone tell me If i want to add folders to a search and say for instance instead of loading my entire D:\My Music directory I want to load only the folders in D:\My Music which start with the letter A what would the search string in add folder manual be? Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance for your help.

If your directory structure is D:\My Music\A\ with a_filenames therein, then only add the directory D:\My Music\A\.

If your directory structure is D:\My Music\ with all files a-z-0-9 within, then in Search Criteria, set an Include Filter to A*

Currently (v.3) you can't filter the folders using a wildcard.
