When
there are many files in a directory, it can be cumbersome to search
for a particular file. You can use the Filter tool to display a
particular subset of the existing files.
To use the Filter tool:
- Enable the Filter button.
- Type in a character string in the Filter
String field, including wildcards such as *.
NoteText entered in the
Filter field is case-sensitive.
- Press Enter.
The filter is applied:
only the files that have the character string in their file name
are displayed in the file browser.
- To disable the current filter and view
all files, disable the Filter button.
NoteThe Filter tool uses
standard UNIX wildcard conventions. For example, if you filter on
the word “Oblique” (without a wildcard), the tool
will not recognize something like “Helvetica-Oblique”.
