Add the file extension .md to the Document filter

Post by enthusiast »

I used the default Document filter and found that it recognizes
txt
,
doc
,
pdf
, and
html
files, but does not recognize
md
and
markdown
files. I have long switched from writing documentation in
txt
files to
md
, and I think that for a significant number of users, adding this extension to the pre-installed Document filter will be convenient, considering the popularity of the Markdown format. I now know that the Document filter can be edited manually, but I think that adding this format to the filter alongside the already existing extensions will save new users time searching thru the program's help for a solution on how to change the filter ;) .
Once again, I want to thank you for this software; I use it every day instead of the standard slow Windows search.

Thank you for your feedback enthusiast,

To add md and markdown to your Document filter:
  • In Everything, from the Search menu, click Organize Filters....
  • Select Document and click Edit....
  • Change the Search to:

    Code: Select all

    ext:asm;c;cc;chm;cpp;cs;css;csv;cxx;doc;docm;docx;dot;dotm;dotx;efu;epub;h;hpp;htm;html;hxx;ini;java;js;json;lua;mht;mhtml;mobi;odp;ods;odt;ofd;pdf;php;pl;potm;potx;ppam;pps;ppsm;ppsx;ppt;pptm;pptx;ps1xml;pssc;pub;py;rtf;sldm;sldx;sql;tsv;txt;vb;vsd;wpd;wps;wri;xlam;xls;xlsb;xlsm;xlsx;xltm;xltx;xml;xsl;md;markdown
