Filters (12): folders enhancement

[TheGhost78]

If you add, for example, *.mp3 or *.jpg to the Mask, and tick Folders, no folders will be returned because folders are not mp3 or jpg files. This configuration of options is currently useless - so give it a use! If you select folders while filtering for a particular file type, return folders that contain mp3 or jpg files. Or, perhaps add another tickbox for Folders Containing...

Hi, since the mask can now be used to filter folder inclusion based on the folder name, yes I think a new option Folders Containing could be needed, or maybe even better a new syntax for the mask, with containing: at the start, e.g. containing:.mp3 *.jpg means folder containing and then the mask applied to the files within the folder. You should be able to use the Condition in Filters (12) to achieve the same:

object('isdir') && (countFilesInFolder('*.mp3') > 0 || countFilesInFolder('*.jpg') > 0)

Notes:
- countFilesInFolder, when applied to a folder, counts files inside that folder (use patterns like "*.mp3", "*.jpg").
- If you want to include subfolders in the count, call countFilesInFolder("*.mp3", true) (second parameter = includeHidden; includeSystem is third). There is no built-in recursive flag for countFilesInFolder, so to inspect nested folders you would need a different approach (e.g., listFilesInFolder and custom checking in JS).
- Ensure Filters (12) has "Folders" checked; otherwise folders won’t be shown/selected.
