Filtering allows certain files to be masked from view in the Files pane; only the files you specify (and folders) will be visible. This helps find files quickly, particularly in folders which contain a large number of files, such as the Windows folder. Filtering can be applied on a tab-by-tab basis.

 The
filter specified is in the form of a wildcard pattern, in a manner similar
to Wildcard Select. See
here for a description
of wildcard patterns. When the pattern is set (by clicking OK), then
the filter is applied automatically to the current tab
and only those files which are a match for the wildcard pattern are
displayed.The Set Filter... dialog drop-down shows previous wildcard patterns used in filtering. |
Apply Filter

When filtering is enabled, the following image is present in the center of
the Files pane:

If filtering is disabled, the files which are now visible may be placed at the
top of the file list; a Refresh may need to be done in
order to sort the files.
