Searching Shell Extension to Filter filelists

[crono]

Hi,

Im searching for a Windows Explorer extension, which allows me to "filter" the "details"-view. The best case tool would add a textbox on top (or bottom) of the Explorer-Window. When Im start typing a pattern (like: log*.txt) into it, it will hide all Files which doesen't match this pattern. Do you know something like this?

bye

some file explorer replacements will do this (dir opus, powerdesk, maybe xplorer^2 also?) that might be your best bet.

I thought of this option, but I dont want to replace my Explorer completly. I cant give reasons why, it is something in my mind which does not allow me to switch

I found a tool which goes in the right way - http://www.risefly.com/FileFilter.htm - but it is "too much" and it is shareware (opensource would be highly appreciated)

all i can say is you wouldn't be the first person who said "eh, i don't see the purpose in swithing to an explorer replacement" and then came to feel they couldnt live without it after they tried - so you might want to reconsider your position

however, if you do find something, let us know.

hehehe - I tried so much replacements - they just do not "feel right" for me - this must sound insane - I know...

I'd say you didn't try dopus.

Your right - I havent tried Dopus yet - MAYBE I give it a try on the weekend... On the other hand it is quite expensive (even with the discount) for a "tuned" Explorer... Well, I will see...
