Filters for a specific drive
« on: July 30, 2013, 11:34:08 »
I have a network drive (say Y drive) and when I open it in MC, I want to apply some file filters by default. I want to hide folders starting with a '.' and files that start with '.'

As can be guessed this network drive is a unix drive and I do not want to show files that starts with a '.'

I would like it to be my default whenever MC opens any sub-directory (or root) of this drive.

Thanks.

You can set the view filter to "-.*"
(Also disable "Reset filter to *.* when changing path" in Explorer Panel settings, under the Layout tab )

But there is not way to auto set it for a path but you can create a own command that enabled it using script and then assign that to a hotkey or button
Code: [Select]
MC.Explorer.SetViewFilter FILTER="-.*"
