Re: Add folder of .lnk (windows shortcuts) and index their destination

Post by jacbian »

I have a slight different request.

I want to index 'C:\Users\<myUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent'
As all the files in the folder are shortcut files (*.lnk).
I want to filter them by their destinations, so we may need to have a setting for "index destination of lnk files" in "add folder",
and need to add more switches when searching, e.g.

path:C:\Users\<myUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent desttype:folder

path:C:\Users\<myUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent desttype:pdf
path:C:\Users\<myUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent desttype:docx

Moved from Add folder of .lnk (windows shortcuts) and index their destination

I will consider a "index destination of lnk files" option.

I like the idea of desttype:
I have added this to my TODO list.

Thank you for the suggestions.
