Filename Filters
Filename filters provide a way to filter out files and directories with respect to both visibility and transfers.
Showing Filters
To show and configure filters:
- click on the proper toolbar icon (the 4th from the right), or
- select "View > Filename filters...".
This will bring up the 'Directory listing filters' dialog box, that shows :
- on the left side : the local filters
- on the right side : the remote filters.
Multiple filters may be active at a time — those filters that are active will have a check next to them.
Modifying Filters
To modify filters, select the "Edit filter rules..." button at the bottom left of the filter dialog. This opens the "Edit filters" dialog, that shows:
- On the left side : a list of existing filters (which may or may not be active).
- On the right side : the select criteria for the filter selected on the left panel.
To rename, copy or delete a filter, select the existing filter and hit the appropriate button below.

Contextual Conditions
At the bottom of the "Edit filters" dialog box, you can also find :
- a checkbox to make filter conditions (I guess specifically Filter Name conditions) case sensitive. Newly created filters have this box unchecked, so names are matched regardless of actual letter case.
- two checkboxes where you can select whether the conditions apply to files, or to directories. Both boxes may be checked at the same time. Newly created filters have both files and directories are checked.
Adding and Removing Criteria
To remove a criterion from a filter : Click the minus button at the right of the criteria fields.
To add another criterion to a filter : Click the plus button at the right of the criteria fields.
Saving Filter Sets
A selection state of filters can be saved as a Filter Set, from the "Directory listing filters" dialog box.
