I do not always know how deep I search subdirectories.
First, I'm looking at the first level ("1 level(s)" option in "Find Files" dialog), next - at the second level, third level, etc... It's too long...
"In-depth" file search option would be convenient.

Thank you!

The first option in the list is "all (unlimited depth)"

Is this what you need?

ts4242, he wants to change folder look order from dir1, dir1\dir11, dir2, dir3, dir3\dir33 to dir1, dir2, dir3, dir1\dir11, dir3\dir33.

folder look order with "All (unlimited depth)" option will be:

root
root/dir1
root/dir1/dir11
root/dir1/dir11/dir111
root/dir1/dir12
root/dir2/dir21
root/dir2/dir21/dir211
root/dir2/dir21/dir211/dir2111
root/dir2/dir21/dir212

I want this search order:
root
root/dir1
root/dir2
root/dir1/dir11
root/dir1/dir12
root/dir2/dir21
root/dir1/dir11/dir111
root/dir2/dir21/dir211
root/dir2/dir21/dir211/dir2111

That's useless to integrate in TC. The only way is to build a fs-plugin.

I think this is a useful feature

As a workaround, you can search using plugins:
Plugin: tc
Property: path
OP: regex
Value: ^d:\\currentdir(\\[^\\]*){2}$

Simply set the value to the path, where you want to start your search (d:\\currentdir) and change {2} accordingly - {1} for searching in that directory only (level 0), {2} for searching in that directory's direct subdirectories (level 1) an so on. Just don't forget to escape the path and enclose the regex value with ^ and $. For searching in nested directories too, remove the $.

Example: The search should start in dir "e:\dir1\dir2\" and one wants to search only in level 2 (relatively to that dir). Value: ^e:\\dir1\\dir2(\\[^\\]*){3}$
Example: The same as the previous one, except the level should be >=1. Value: ^e:\\dir1\\dir2(\\[^\\]*){2}

It's not as pretty as selecting a value from ComboBox, but it works (at least I think so ).

edit: regex rewritten to a nicer version

TC will need to reenum all previously processed files anyway. So I think it will be faster to just increase search depth in main tab for every next search.

Anyway, in-depth searching would require to keep too much temporary data.
