#8 RegEx search criteria and other search improvements
- I'd love to see RegEx searches incorporated into this tool.
- The "Include file paths when searching" could perhaps be brought to the main GUI for quick access.
I have been using this very powerful yet free and resource-friendly tool called Voidtools Everything (http://www.voidtools.com) which is by far the best and fastest file search utility available, free or commercial. Voidtools used to maintain an API for easy integration into third party software; I don't know if the API is still available, but it might be worth contacting the Voidtools to check, as Everything and Aural Probe combined would be explosive.
Thanks for the ideas! I got regex working in 1.5 which is coming shortly.
RE: moving "Include file paths when searching" into the main GUI, I'm interested to hear more about how you use this? I intended for users to only need to rescan their folders once (since this is a slow operation) and just use the main GUI after that, do you find you need to toggle this on/off frequently and rescan frequently?
I looked into Voidtools Everything, looks very cool and agree it would be a great marriage with Aural Probe. Unfortunately it'd be a pretty massive job and as Aural Probe is just a hobby project I'm really only doing maintenance releases with some minor new functionality based on requests. Thanks for the suggestion though!
Regex is now available in 1.5. Thanks for the feedback!
Michael, thanks a lot for this feature!! I'll be testing it in depth over the weekend.
