Own filter, how to exclude folders?

Post by abr01 »

I try to make a filter that lists only very large files. But i can't figure out how to exclude folders, and i also couldn't find an example in the search functions section. So basically i want only single files that match that rule. My button also lists folders that exceed 1Gb, but has numerous files in it.

size:>1gb !*.mp4 !*.mov* !*.avi* !"R:\"

you can also use
!folder:


i use it all the time

folder: is for folders only results
!folder: is for no folders "ignore folders" in results

also works for online: and offline: filters ..
