Consider case in file filtering
Hides folders, if their has no filtered files.
By default, the results of a scan contain all files and folders. Use commands in the File filter toolbar to make a large list of files smaller and easier to read.
The filtered result may be applicable over an entire list (for example in Search results view ) of within a selected folder (for example in Recovery Explorer view ).
Enter filter pattern in text field and press ENTER key on keyboard pr click Apply Filter button in toolbar. File filter toolbar accepts wildards in filter patterns. Toolbar also remembers the user's search history so the user can easily repeat his search at any time.
For example, if you want to find PNG files on the specific drive you will need to select that drive and type *.png in the toolbar and click on Apply Filter button.
Use semi-column to apply multiple filter criteria, for example: to filter in only PNG and JPG files type in toolbar *.png;*.jpg and press either ENTER or click on the Apply Filter on the right side of the toolbar.
A wildcard is a character that can be used as a substitute for any of a class of characters in a search. Wildcard characters are often used in place of one or more characters when you do not know what the real character is or you do not want to enter the entire name. In Active@ UNDELETE three types of wildcard are used: star or asterisk(*), question mark (?) and number sign (#).
Examples of using wildcards:
| Wildcard character | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Asterisk (*) | Example | Description |
| Asterisk (*) | docum* | Use the asterisk as a substitute for zero or more characters if you are looking for a file that you know what it starts with and you cannot remember the rest of the file name. The example locates all files of any file type that begin with "docum" including documents.txt, document_01.doc and documentum.doc. |
| docum*.doc | To narrow the search to a specific type of file, include the file extension. The example locates all files that begin with "docum" and have the file name extension .doc, such as document_01.doc and documentum.doc. | |
| Question mark (?) | doc?.doc | Use the question mark as a substitute for a single character in a file name. In the example, you will locate the file docs.doc or doc1.doc but not documents.doc. |
| Number sign (#) | doc?.doc | Use the question mark as a substitute for a single character in a file name. In the example, you will locate the file docs.doc or doc1.doc but not documents.doc. |
| Number sign (#) | doc_###.doc | Use the number sign (also known as the pound or hash sign) as a substitute for a single number in a name. In the example, you will locate the file doc_012.doc or doc_211.doc but not doc_ABS.doc. |
After you complete a scan, detected partitions are listed in order of their certainty status based on attributes and validation level. To make a long list of partitions easier to read, remove partitions with a status of Bad and lower using a filter. To filter detected partitions:
In the Device scan results view select a scan result node with detected partitions.
Select the file system that will remain in the filtered partition list.
Select the partition integrity statuses that will remain in the filtered partition list.
To restrict the size of a partition to display, click the Filter by Partition Size check box and enter the lowest and highest partition size in MB.
...filtering will let you filter a partition with specific NTFS or FAT attributes.
Press Reset in the Filter Detected Partition dialog to cancel partition filtering.
