Comma filtering in the FAYT mode works fine in normal folders. However, when i use it in the Desktop folder, there is a lot of folders also being listed. For example, i hat three RAR files on the desktop, but the comma type FAYT also listed lots of folders, not being related to the search term. Is t…

Sounds like you installed it in 2015: [image] Trigger Flat View (or any other command) in configured folders Buttons/Scripts Very interesting idea. I have just installed the script. Sounds like we can use only one mode a the time. Or is it possible to make it like in th…

What is comma filtering? Maybe a screenshot would help show what you're doing and seeing.

[grafik] I could't find a better description for this function. Because writing ","-filter looks strange.

Makes sense. I think mine has a different hotkey. What are you typing as the filter / pattern?

In that case, it was just ,rar. And it did find the files, only there were lots of folders with no relation. Maybe following setting in preferences -> folder isn't ideal? Can't test it now, because it's on another machine. The setting is "treat all virtual folders as real ones". [grafik]

Can we see a screenshot of the folder with the filter applied and also visible?

Sure. Note, that i simulated it on my machine, while the original case was on another. But i have the same effect here. The upper image shows the state before filtering. [grafik] [grafik]

It looks like you're using Flat View? Is the question really about filtering folders in Flat View, rather than filtering in virtual folders? There's an option on the filter bar, bottom-right of your second screenshot, to apply the filter to folders when in Flat View. But not that if a folder is fil…

Yes, it looks like flatview, but the status bar mode info says i'm in Details mode, as seen in the screenshot. Also, i didn't deliberately apply the flat mode in that case. Edit: and yes, i have tried the checkboxes, if it makes a difference, which wasn't the case. But i have found something strang…

Flat View can be on at the same time as Details Mode. Something must be turning it on, as it won't turn on by itself.

Well, i looked into the folder options, but no hint about any possible flatview setting. Looks you are right about the mode. But i can't figure out, why the desktop folder is in flatview mode when i enter it. I'm using the slash command to go to that folder. :thinking: /desktop
