Filters – Attribute Filter Examples
Below are some example filter settings using the Attributes & Reverse Filters checkboxes in Options-Filters.
Notes:
-
To return to baseline, make your settings ‘Dim’, Reverse Filters = Off (unchecked).
-
When Reverse Filters is off, checked choices originate from the perspective of an ‘exclude’ filter.
-
If you need to ‘filter’ files by file name or path, use the Complex File Mask dialog.
