Search by extension

Post by *gotobigo »

Hi all,
This must be a simple thing I am overlooking somehow:

Let's say I want to search for .ogg files I type *.ogg in the 'Search for' field. Unfortunately this gives me lot's of results but not even one ogg file.

What I am doing wrong here?

thanks,
Tobias

That should work! It works for me with txt and png.

But you have not mentioned the used Android and TC version, which could help the author to narrow the issue down.

Did that search succeeded before?

gotobigo,
*.ogg
Most Android keyboards type a space after a dot, make sure you don't search for "*. ogg" by accident.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

Hi,
@Hacker, no I made sure there's no space after the *.ogg
@Stefan2, Im running Android 4.3 on a S3 with TC 2.05b5

I really don't understand the search results. Whe a search for '*.ogg' will list folders? None of the folder names contains the search phrase, nor any of the files inside the folder.

thx, Tobias

gotobigo,
The space is not suppossed to be after the "ogg" but after the period ".".
