Customize Min/Max?

Postby Quasi » Sun May 19, 2013 2:46 am

I'm using the 6.50B8 - 2721 build. Is there a way to customize the Min/Max file size filter? I do a lot of hunting for books and typically anything over 2.3mb is just junk or stuff I'm not interested in looking for. Unfortunately the defaulted Max filter options jump from 1MB to 5MB. Is there an .ini file I can enter an additional size filter or a way to edit the available options?

Thank you!

*also I notice, even in this beta, the "File Display Date Range", when initially selecting the "Reload from Disk." icon it still shows the calendar window date range as reversed (Old is newest date, New is oldest date). It only happens the first time the icon is pressed...after you close the window and select the icon again it shows the correct date ranges in the correct order.

You can do custom min-max in the filter profiles. Say you make one called "Stuff" and you assign it to these groups. You can type in min and max sizes when you make the filter profile. The watch lists let you type in custom sizes too. You might want to setup a watch list for your files. This will pull the matching files out of the headers so, only matching files show up when you load the watch list item.

I've been using the watch list a bunch lately. I'll do a header download then see what my watchlists "net" in the header downloads. Then look and download just from the watch items.

Excellent...I went through the filters that I had already put together and changed the Max size and it kept it. Thank for the info!!
