- >only want to see the file with a given extension
-
- Easy. To make things easy, start by using the Drives object, and work
- your way to the directory in question. Make a shadow of this
- directory/folder on the desktop. Close up the drives object.
-
- Now, open the settings for your new shadow. In reality, since it's a
- shadow, you're changing the settings for the real directory. Go to
- the [include] tab and change the '*' to whatever you'd like.
-
- >unless I command otherwise
-
- This is the hard part. Has anyone found a way to have, in the same
- sense of a program object referencing a program, a folder object that
- can *reference* another folder/directory with different settings?
