I have just tested this out, and it seems to be working as expected. If you don't want FileSeek to change your file/folder name matching settings, just un-check the "Automatically toggle file/folder name matching when Query is blank". I agree that the wording is mis-leading though, as it toggles the setting even when the query isn't blank. I'll change the wording for the next release. Thanks! :)


I'm having the same difficulty with v.2.3.1. I cannot find the 'automatically goggle file/folder name matching when Query is blank' or a phrase similar to this to uncheck. ]]> RE: 1.9.7 filename/folder matches problem https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/197-filenamefolder-matches-problem/?ID=014bc95e-2bb1-45c8-9b0d-ca7764aeeb77#2 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 14:14:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/197-filenamefolder-matches-problem/?ID=014bc95e-2bb1-45c8-9b0d-ca7764aeeb77#2 FileSeek I have just tested this out, and it seems to be working as expected.

I played around with different settings and it seems to do it regardless, so I can't find files that have the query text in the file name. Now that I check, the folder dropdown also resets to "Don't show Folder Name Matches." Other options seem fine.

Edit: It seems the setting "Automatically toggle file/folder name matching when Query is blank" is doing it even when it is not blank. It works when I turn this off, anyways. ]]>
