How do I search the file names in the file list tab

Postby Bismark » Mon Oct 06, 2014 11:39 pm

I would like to search the file list file names for all the .jpg files in the list but I get nothing and a "bing.". It seems the search box is looking at the subject column and not the Filename column. It used to work. Is there an option I can select to be able to search the Filename Column?

Also, can I get a warning when I try to sort by the Filename Column? I get one when I try to sort the subject column.

Thanks

I type in something and hit enter. The ones that match seem to highlight.

I hate to disagree, but the search box seems to look at the subject column, not the file name column when I type something in the find box above the file list tab. Should I use some other place to type in the search of the file name column?

For example if "jpg" is not in the subject related to the name of the file downloaded, then I cannot use the find command to find a file or set of files that have the sting "jpg" in them.

What am I doing wrong here?

Maybe nothing. That might just be how it works. I probably picked the subject because most of the time the filename is also in the subject.

Thanks. Can you add a feature to search file names and also ask before sorting the filename column of the file list tab in a future version?
