Running the latest version on Windows 10 Pro. I'm in the middle of trying to sort version control issues across multiple machines and virtual machines. For the life of me, I cannot get AstroGrep to find all .svn files on a drive. And, yes, I have checked the exclusion list and disabled excluding .svn directories. Windows Explorer can find them but ewww....

Unfortunately, AstroGrep doesn't support searching for directories directly. It is able to find files like you are trying, but it doesn't list out directories (when searching with no search text).
Huh, I never relized that. Appreciate the info.
