The Filter

The filter narrows the map without changing it: matching boxes keep their color, everything else dims, so you see where the matches are, not only that they exist. Ctrl+F opens it; the Filter button in the path row does too.

Plain words

Type what you are looking for. These all work, in any combination and order:

You type	It means
videos, photos, music, archives, programs, documents, code, game data, installers, iso, databases, fonts, system, other	A file type. Several: type:video,audio
over 500MB, larger than 2 GB, > 1gb, at least 10 MB	At least this size (b, kb, mb, gb, tb)
under 1 MB, smaller than 100kb, < 5gb	At most this size
older than 1 year, not modified in 6 months, untouched for 2 years, unused for 90 days	Last changed before then (days, weeks, months, years)
newer than 1 week, modified in the last 30 days, changed within 2 months	Last changed since then
.mp4, *.log, backup*, ?.tmp	An extension or a wildcard pattern on the name
report, node_modules	A word the name contains
folders, is:folder	Folders only

Words like and, with, the, show, find are ignored, so show me videos that are over 500MB and older than 1 year reads as type:video >500MB older than 1 year. The canonical form is what the filter box shows after it has understood you.

The drawer

The default filter face, a sheet over the right of the map, writes the same filter from controls:

• Type: a stacked bar of how the scan divides between file types, then one tile per type with its size; pick any number.
• Larger than, Smaller than, Not modified for: scales with seven ticks each; click a tick and the span lights up.
• Show: everything, files only, or folders only.
• Quick filters: Large files (>1GB is:file), Big videos (type:video >500MB), Installers & archives (type:archives,programs >100MB), Untouched for 2 years, Big and old (>500MB older than 1 year is:file), Recently changed (newer than 1 week is:file).

Settings › Map › Filter layout swaps the drawer for a rail under the path row, one pill per condition, for people who want the whole map visible while they filter.

Acting on the matches

• The side panel and Insights keep showing the whole scan; the filter only affects the map.
• Ctrl+A (Select matches) selects every matching file. Then Del sends them to the Recycle Bin, Ctrl+I inspects them together, Ctrl+C copies their paths.
• Right-click › Export to CSV › Filter matches writes them to a file.
• Esc clears the filter when the filter box is not focused; a second Esc closes the drawer.

Tips

• Right-click a file › Show only this type writes *.ext for you.
• Every row in Insights › By type is a click that filters the map to that type.
• A filter stays on while you zoom, so older than 2 years plus a dive into Downloads is a fast way to find forgotten installers.
