Foxtrot query will not run with negation conditions, even if other conditions are applied [message #1460] Sat, 18 June 2022 09:09 Go to previous message

I totally understand why a query with only negations like this would not run in Foxtrot query [-"regular expression" -regex], because it would probably produce too many results. However, this Foxtrot query still wouldn't run even when I apply additional conditions like "File name" must contain a string.

I have to run this type of query sometimes because I know the folder I want to narrow down to, so I do that using "File name" condition. And once I'm in the folder, I know the kind of files I don't want to see, so I want to get rid of them using Foxtrot Query. Unfortunately ... it doesn't look like I can do that in Foxtrot Search? How could it be done?

Thanks!
