thank you @Vero for replying to my post.
that's precisely the point. I don't know which one to choose
Could you point me to a workflow which does the following
searches in a specific folder like ~/Documents/Scrivener
assigns a keyword, ie the search is prompted if I type scr (scr + space)
search for a specific kind of file, for example .scriv
will recognize any word in the filename, ie I do not have to start with the correct word (otherwise it's useless for me)
will open the file when I click Enter (or any keypress you prefer)
ideally I would also like to have the option to
filter files by name, for example all files containing the name troubleshooting. By this I mean that a workflow by design will only select files containing the word tax for example.
also to exclude those files which contain certain words in the name. My point is that when I work on complicated files, I do frequent backups which have the same filename except that I add BAK date-time to the name. I would like to exclude all files containing BAK in the filename
Please understand: if I can see the workflow, I think that I will be able to understand how to edit it, and I can always ask you, but I am very frustrated in my efforts to achieve the above, which should be quite basic.
I would also like to see some of your more advanced file searches just so I can dissect them and better understand your son Alfred.
I don't understand how some file searches can expect the user to remember the exact sequence of words in the title.
merci maman Vero !
