Results to Show Toolbar

The Filters List is a drop-down menu containing named filters. It includes:

•Filters provided by FolderMatch (above the dividing line).

•Filters you’ve created and saved (below the dividing line).

Example: Selecting "Differences Only" from the Filters List will show only items that differ and hide those that are identical.

The filter criteria menus are five drop-down lists used to filter results by:

•Name

oFile/Subfolder Name (before the extension)

•Type

oFile Type (extension)

•Date

oFile Last Modified Date

•Size

oFile size

•Result

oComparison Result

▪e.g. Newer, Older, Orphan

Clicking on each drop-down shows filter options for that criterion. You can combine criteria from different menus to create a custom results filter.

See Results To Show - Criteria Menus for more details.

The last section of this toolbar is comprised of three buttons:

1.Save Filter As

2.Maintain Filter

1.Save Filter As

To save your custom filter criteria, click the Save Filter As button. Enter a name for the filter, which will be added to the Filters List. This allows you to reuse the custom filter without recreating it.

When you press the Save button, a window will appear where you can enter the name. The name must be unique and not the same as any predefined filter

2.Maintain Filters List

To delete or rename a filter, click the Maintain Filters List button. This opens the Maintain Filters List window where you can manage your filters.

Rules for Filter Management:

•Deletion: You cannot delete predefined system filters (e.g., "All Files and Folders").

•Renaming: You cannot use the name of a predefined system filter or an existing user filter.

Changes are saved only when you click the Save button. You can abandon changes by clicking the Cancel button.
