Rules
In addition to simply displaying fresh files, you can also create rules to automatically tag these files if they meet certain conditions.
For example, you could create a rule to automatically tag Microsoft Office documents with 'my-office' if they have been created inside the 'My Documents' folder.
At a later date you could then run a search for 'my-office' and add more descriptive tags if required. Adding rules is a powerful way of staying organized and reduces the amount of manual tagging you would otherwise have to do.
To create a new rule, click on the 'New Rule' button. In the rule dialog which appears, select which types of files you wish to process, i.e. *.doc for word files or *.* if you want the rule to be run against all file types.
Some common file types can be selected from the combobox next to the file extension filter, these cover various file types such as MS Office, Sound files, Image files etc.
The next step is to select which folder you wish the rule to be applied against, you can control whether or not to include sub folders by placing a tick in the checkbox.
Finally you can choose whether or not to enable the rule right now or disable it for future use.
Click 'ok' to save the rule.
If at any time you wish to modify a rule, simply double click the rule to display the rule dialog.
To delete a rule, click the 'delete' button.
