How to hide missing files?
I wanted to copy all of a certain filetype, but since there are inaccessable files in the results (stuff in archives + stuff from filelist on missing drives) i can't use normal windows copy. The app clearly already knows the files are missing since it shows them in gray rather than white. would be nice if there was a simple toggle like "View" -> "Hide Inaccessible" or something like that

Thanks for letting me know! I would love to get a UI element to toggle this in the next version though so i can't forget and others wont have to search forums or ask around.

I have on my TODO list to add a toolbar with customizable buttons.
Thank you for the suggestion.
For now, please consider creating a filter:
