In Windows 10, on my local hard drive I've got a parent folder parent with child folder child1, child2, etc. Each of of the child folders has files with the extension .docker.
In Windows Explorer, when the current directory is any of the child folders, and I enter *.docker into the search field, it returns a list of the files. However, when I navigate up one level, to the parent folder, and run the same search, it's returning nothing. What could explain this, and how can I fix it?

I have a git codebase set up in my wamp64 folder, in a folder named songbookdb-deep
When I right click on a folder within songbookdb-deep, I can see the Find in Folder option for searching for code/text within files. However, when I right click on songbookdb-deep, the right click menu doesn't contain that option. The options it has are Open Editors, Folders (greyed out), Timeline, NPM Scripts.
I want to be able to search all of songbookdb-deep, not have to perform multiple searches on individual folders.
Why is the codebase root folder songbookdb-deep not allowing this please?
Thank you
OK so if i want to create a new project i drag and drop a folder onto the sidebar, after which the contents show up in the sidebar.
My question is, is there any way to hide the root folder (as indicated)?
To clarify, I dont want to have to go inside the 'Wordpress' folder and add the substructure manually to create a project (ctrl+a , drag drop). I just want to be able to drag and drop the root directory (Wordpress in this case) and have it add all subfolders / files without it showing the root Wordpress Folder.
I just find it annoying for example, if i wanted to get into wp-admin the possibility of misclicking and collapsing the entire directory.
No, there is no way to do this. The base folder is the base folder, and is the container which holds all its files and subfolders. If you remove it, you have no way of identifying where the contents are located. If you want quick access to one of the subfolders, just add it to your project.
Additionally, with the latest releases of ST3, mis-clicking the wrong folder is no longer an issue, as Sublime remembers all the open subfolders, and the entire chain will be restored just like it was if you clicked again.
If I go to any folder like C:\temp and select Detailed View and sort by name, all folder in my system will have this configuration. But I don't want this. I would like that C:\temp has that configuration, but to keep the folder view configuration for all other folders as they were before I change the view of C:\temp.
I remember that in Win XP that is possible. But it seems to not be possible in Windows 7. Am I right?
UPDATE
I just figured out that folders outside from Documents can have different type of visualization. I think the problem is how to keep individual configuration view for folders inside Documents.
When my tortoise svn folder of my project is in my Documents folder it shows lots of strange svn type files, and no directory structure, just everything in one messy folder. However when I cut and paste the directory out of Documents to say c:\, I see the files and folders just fine, without all the subversion strange files?!? I have windows 7 Pro, 64 bit. I wanted to give an image of the strange files but need a rep of 10....
In the upper-right corner of the Document directory in question, make sure that Arrange by: is set to Folder rather than Name.
Alternatively, press Alt to open the menu bar, and select View -> Arrange by -> Folder
The Name view is consolidating everything into a flat structure, and displaying non-hidden files that are contained within the hidden .svn directories.
I have a problem when using Perforce.
I'm using P4V, but don't know the Perforce Server version.
There are often some files in our project that don't need to be version-controlled. And I found a way to exclude folders or files from Perforce by editing the Workspace View.
Using "-//depot/. //Perforce/..." or "-//depot/*.dll //Perforce/*.dll" I could exclude all files or folders in a path. Then the Folder Diff will mark them with "Excluded Folder". The world is clean.
BUT! there are a lot of projects, and each of them has the same folders that we don't need like "bin" "obj", and with WebStorm there are ".idea"s, and with ReSharper there are a lot of folders starts with "_ReSharper", very disgusting.
With the articles here and here, the wildcards (...\*) seem to be put in the middle of path, like "//Perforce/.../bin/...", to let Folder Diff exclude every descendant folder names "bin".
But there is the problem. When I use "Diff Against.." Then the Folder Diff view shows up. All the files are not shown in tree view but in list view. The button "Show files in a tree hierarchy" up there is disabled. And the most important thing is that excluded folders /files in workspace view are lying down there.
When I delete the descendant folder path, it turns normal with tree view and marked "exclude folders"
I have no idea about that. Could anyone tell me what happened there?
