For temporary hiding, you can set filter to :

Code: Select all

 *.*|*.sdr\
If you want a permanent solution, you can add it in the ignore list :
Preferences->Configuration->ignore list
add *.sdr\ in the textarea or in your ignore list file...

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

Many thanks to you. It seems like android version doesn't support wildcard in hiding folders. Any rules that containing wildcard will only apply to files and won't be apply to folders.

I have checked the sources, and indeed wildcards and file extensions are only applied to files, not to folders.
To exclude a folder, you either need to enter its name or its full path.

No, the following command as search string in Android (Smartphone) still search in Whatsapp...
e.g. *everything*.mp3 | "WhatsApp/" "Ringtones/"
Why??
In Windows (PC) this works perfectly
Thanks for your Statement :D

Search string in the search function? That worked for me, the two folders are excluded.
Search string in the ignore list? Sorry, the ignore list does not support exclude strings with | separator.

Search string in the search function? -> yes, works on PC but not on Android..

When I select the 2 Folders and exclude in the ignore list then the 2 Folders will not scaned ;-)

The Question was: Is the searchengine different from PC Version to Android Version??? :shock:

Nevermind for me the solution with the ignore list is fine... :D

For me the search string worked! Maybe you had the folders selected when opening the search?
