Virtual folder is the feature that is lists the notes by the condition you set. This feature is an enhancement of grep.
The following functions are strengthened with the virtual folder compared with Grep.
Each virtual folder consists of two elements:
Find filter | Find in the notes and choose if matched pattern. This filter is same as grep. |
---|---|
Limit filter | Set number of notes you want. More notes are discarded. |
Date filter | Check timestamp(last update date) of the notes and pickup "update in X days". |
Sort filter | This is a little special filter. This filter passes all notes with sorting. You can select sorting field by filename/last update date. |
TIPS for find filter:
Placing a vertical line character ("|") between two search strings, for example "vertical|horizontal", will make Tombo find files containing EITHER one search string OR the other, but not necessarily both. Leave out all my quotation marks.
Asterisk("*") and plus("+") means repetitions. if you set "(hello)+ world", this is match
"hello world" and "hello hello world" and so on.
"(hello)* world" is matches " world" and "hello world" and "hello hello world" and so on.
if you want to match characters "*" itself, you should add backslash before the letter. for example, "(hello)\*" is matched "hello*" and not matched "hello hello".
To configure the virtual folder, choose "Virtual folder" from menu.
You can add, delete, rename, and order virtual folders by this dialog. You can preserve these options by checking the "Save" checkbox.
