how to search both folder: & ext:{list} at the same time

Post by Xavierarmand »

trying to use this as a search string. it seems it will only work with the list of ext: or with folder: but not both. if both are present the results go empty

Code: Select all

"M:\MUSIC" folder: ext:flac;m3u;m4a;mp3;wav passen
did something change or break??

I feel like last week with was working fine. I just today updated to v1399a

Why should it work ?
With ext: you are searching for files
but you restrict the results to folders.
This has never worked !

ugh, seriously, I tried this and it didn't work... but now it is. I use "|" often. which why I thought something was broken at first.

hmm, maybe I just needed a reboot after updating.

thanks thou.
