Below are some example filter settings using the Attributes & Reverse Filters checkboxes in Options-Filters.
Notes:
To return to baseline, make your settings 'Dim', Reverse Filters = Off (unchecked).
When Reverse Filters is off, checked choices originate from the perspective of an 'exclude' filter.
If you need to 'filter' files by file name or path, use the Complex File Mask dialog.
