Hi,

Is it possible to create a SmartFolder containing all documents whose names contain .sit *or* .zip *or* .dmg etc?

If so, what is the syntax?

I tried 'Name Contains' .sit || .zip etc but it doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Simon

Hi,

In answer to my own question... ;-)

I created a new Smart Folder and went to 'other' in the first dropdown. I then selected 'Raw Query' and entered:

kMDItemFSName==.sit || kMDItemFSName==.zip || kMDItemFSName==.dmg || kMDItemFSName==.hqx || kMDItemFSName==.gz

This gives me any file with .sit, .zip etc in the name.

Yup no "or" searches in Spotlight. They should just add "or" and "and" as options.

Aren't raw queries great?
