Filter the files in lister

Help & Support
1

Hello,

Is there any quick way to filter the files appearing in the lister like I used to with Powerdesk? You could hotkey to a dialog or get it from a menu command and, for example, type in *.db and only see the .db files in that directory. You could delete it just as easily and see everything again. I see in Opus menus where I can copy and delete the filters but I don't know how to create them. I can see in the help that there are all sorts of raw and internal commands involving filters but would prefer not to get into that if possible.

Cheers,

See the FAQ called "Add and configure filter boxes".

Thanks very much, that's great.

Is there any way to go to the filter box with a hotkey? I am a keyboard person. I see that Alt followed by Left Arrow works but a combo would be even better.

In customize mode, right-click the filter and select Edit. You can set the hotkey there.
