filter inside recycle bin

Post by profess »

hi nikos and everyone,

haven't commented in ages but still around! :)  

whilst attempting to filter inside the recycle bin (ALT+H) it did not filter out the file(s) at all.  And when filtering for '0' (zero) it only flitered and displayed some of the files.

just noticed whilst using just now.  not sure if anyone else has experienced this.

hope everyone's well etc.

regards,

osei

the names in recycle bin are not what they seem. Try the following: to select by name, type in the addressbar (notice the : colon)

: part_of_name_you_want

that should select all matching names

within Alt+H it should work if you pick the other Name column from additional rules. It won't work if you use the Named field because the names you see are not the real ones

Nice suggestion, I'd never thought of that and it appears to work very well. I couldn't see any mention of it in the documentation.
Narayan, it might be worth adding it to the documentation, in the section "Using the Recycle Bin" perhaps?

I will do that.

Bu in general there is no need to manipulate the contents of the recycle bin.

Rarely a user may need to select a few items and then restore them.

Thanks Narayan, it was just a little tip that Nikos was aware off which I thought might be useful to other users.
Restoring items is the situation I've come across but, as you say, it's not very often.

hi, thanks nikos and everyone, that worked.

like you all said it's not often you have to filter inside a 'special folder'. it was just something i noticed.  i learned something new too :)
