Separate folder for ".bak" files

Found a workaround, which works quite OK for a similar purpose:

“Saved Windows Search”. It is a Windows Explorer functionality.

How to:

  • Open Explorer window in project directory, where all the file are, which have the extension .cpr .bak .npr and also many folders.

  • Enter search criteria in top right corner of Explorer window and execute: E.g. *.cpr for Cubase (or *.npr for Nuendo or *.?pr for both)
    (You will see only files with this extension)

  • Push the Explorer button “Save Search”. The button is not always directly visible. So you might have to search for it.

  • This button saves the search as a file with the extension .search-ms. Usually it is in the folder “Searches” within your “USER” folder.
    (It is possible, that the folder differs between Windows 7 and Windows 10.)

  • Then copy this file e.g. onto your desktop and rename as you like. The file extension has to be kept.

  • Now just double click this file and it will open an Explorer window only showing Cubase and/or Nuendo project files. Folders and .bak files are not shown.

Perhaps this workaround gives you some relief. :wink:
