Just display parent folder without subfolders

Post by eswul62 »

Currently I have to use a different device, not my usual desktop, with Everything setup with a bunch of filters, bookmarks, etc.
A laptop with a 'clean' Everything.

I went back and forth here to find a way to have just a parent (root) folder on various drives displayed, so like
X:\Folder
Y:\Folder
Z:\Folder

without the subfolders I mean.

I forgot...ahum.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

If you are using the Folders sidebar, please uncheck subfolders at the bottom of the Folders sidebar.

Thanks for the comments.

Feel very sorry to say, but believe neither one worked out the way I would like. Again sorry.

Meanwhile, I found it...

Using 'depth'

So, like:
folder:X:\Photos;Y:\Photos;Z:\Photos depth:1

If the folder contains the word 'Photos' as a part of the name it will also be listed though, like Z:\Photoshop
X:\Photos
Y:\Photos
Z:\Photos
Z:\Photoshop

FWIW and AFAIK adding a backslash to the path so as to 'limit' to search for photos folder only,i.e. exclude photoshop, so like:
folder:X:\Photos\;Y:\Photos\;Z:\Photos\ depth:1 won't work.

Thanks again.

(Just noting; depth:, parent-count:, & parents: are synonyms.)
