Filter                                          
 Panel filters control what is displayed in the file panels,
 and Operations filters control what files you work with.

 The Filter command from the Left and Right menus displays
 the Panel Filters dialog box.

 Choosing the Filters button (available on many of the
 file operation panels - such as copy, move, delete) displays
 the Operation Filters dialog box.

 You can filter files by:
   .  file name
   .  file date
   .  file size
   .  file attributes
