Search is file properties

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 08 Oct 2008, 16:14

Hi everybody,

under windows it is possible to add additional text information to a file by right clicking/properties/file info.

If I do this the normal find function of Salamander can not find this information. Is this a known limitation or what am I doing wrong ?

Thanx,

Alex

Okay, so the additional information is stored in different streams of the file.
And I guess that Salamander is not searching through the different streams of a file when I use the normal find function.

But the question still is: Is there a work around or will this feature be implemented in a future version of salamander ?

Cheers

Let me just explain why I think it would be good if Salamander could search in all streams of a file (although it might be obvious).

Using the additional information makes it possible to add meta information to a file (project name, subject tags, etc) and then it becomes useful and necessary to be able to search for files according to this meta information.

Btw. the normal windows explorer find function does find text which sits in this extra stream.
