Export Files and Folders - but only from search results

My documents are filed in a folder / sub-folder structure relating to their PROCESS making it quick and easy to navigate.

Each document is Tagged with the name of the SUPPLIER related to that document.

The TAG cloud function allows me to select a supplier TAG and the search window displays the same folder / subfolder structure, but only showing the files with that specific supplier tag. That alternate view makes it incredibly useful.

Is there any way to only “Export Files and Folders” shown in that TAG search result? When I try that it always exports the entire contents of the folders, even though only the Tagged files are shown in the view.

No, this is not supported at this time and it’s the first such request of its kind.

PS: The files are only hidden from view when using a filter.

While I have never had occasion to do this, I might if it were possible. E.g., say I have a case file and need to produce a set of documents, but some are privileged and are tagged as such. I could search a group and set the parameters to tag is not “privileged,” then export the result. That would be kinda cool!

Thanks Jim - thought it was worth asking.

The things you have to try and do for Windows users… :upside_down_face:
