Show/Hide Filters

Help & Support
1

There are several folders and files that need to be on my system but I don't want to see them when using Directory Opus. Examples of files are thumbs.db and desktop.ini. Examples of directories are Documents and Settings, Autorun.inf, and $AVG. Currently I'm using the Show/Hide Filter located in Folder Options.

The problem I have with using this method is that it is only intended for temporary use and it hides all folders that are specified. So if I wanted to block C:\Games\Halo\Saves\ I would specify Saves in the hide -> folders box but ANY folder called Saves would be hidden when I only needed the one located within the Halo folder to be hidden. Is there any way to specify, by location, files and folders I wish to be hidden?

Yes, you can save different Folder Formats (which contain the filters) for specific folders if you want to.

See the Folder Formats FAQ.

Is there a way to set what folders I want hidden in the Folder Tree?

Yes (to some extent), Preferences -> Listers -> Folder Tree.
