Click this button, which appears next to the Folder(s) edit box in the main window, to pop up a dialog with a tree view of the folders on your computer, from which you may choose the folders and subfolders that you want to search in Finders or index in Keepers.
How to use
Select one or more folders from the dialog’s left pane, entitled “Search folders,” to add to Folder(s). Select the desired folders by clicking on the check boxes next to them. As you add or remove check marks in the lists, your selections are created as text in the edit box at the bottom of the dialog. When you have finished selecting folders, click on the Apply button to put your selections into the Folder(s) edit box. If you want the dialog to close after applying your selections, click on the OK button instead.
Click on any folder image in the left pane to show that folder’s contents, its subfolders and files, in the right pane.
Replace Folder(s): Click on “Replace Folder(s)” if you want the selected folders to replace any text that is in the Folder(s) edit box.
Add to Folder(s): Click on “Add to Folder(s)” if you want the selected extensions to be added to any text already in the Folder(s) edit box.
Click on this button to clear all check marks and the edit box.
Click this button down to turn on the option to search, or index, all the subfolders under each folder that you select. When this button is up, the option is off. Clicking this button clears all your current check marks. NOTE that clicking this button changes the “Search Subfolders” option throughout the program.
Click on this button to move up one level from the folder displayed in the right pane of the dialog. For example, if the right pane is showing the contents of the folder “c:\mydocuments\myproject\myhelpfiles,” clicking this button will move up to, and show, the folder “c:\mydocuments\myproject.”
