Excluding files from searching
Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2010 4:54 am
A big fan of your company as I am, I dare suggest some improvements for version 2, which I am looking forward to having.
Firstly, I support the suggestion on this forum that the application should remember the initial file order after the search, when the files are coupled in groups.
Secondly, I would like to be able to exclude some files from searching by wildcards or types, eg. all pictures, all sound and.or video files. The reason is to get a more global picture of the result. Downloaded web pages contain a multitude of duplicate small images and files (.js. ,gif, .jpg), which I want to keep so that my web page(s) will display correctly, while my initial idea is to delete whole duplicate directories. Sometimes the number of these small files is in the tens of thousands, but the folders containing them are just a few.
