In "finder", is it possible to search only the pdf files currently opened by "preview?
For example, searching conditions is something like
search :
kind is PDF
open currently (???)
.
This probably adds more work, but if you had them all saved in one folder somewhere, you could just start your search in that folder and it would search those documents.
another more work option, but not requiring you to save in a particular folder would be the tag each of your active files, and then set up a search that it only includes those tags
You can delete a tag from in Finder and that should remove it from all files. You might be able to toggle between a couple days, or maybe a week (Monday, Tuesday,..., Friday). When done with a day (or the week) delete the Tags from Finder.
No. There is a last used date, and last opened date. You might be able to set some short time frame, but it wouldn’t be just open documents.
Thank you very much. I tried a short time frame and obtained results close to my wish.
Anyhow, it is good that you told me that it is impossible to show currently opened files in Preview.
You can check which files are open right in Preview’s Window menu; and for any of them, you can access it in the Finder by command-clicking the window title to open the enclosing folder.
Thank you for your suggestion.
It is one of the ideas but there are sometimes more than 20 additional files daily. It will be very troublesome to pick up the files from the preview window.
Thanks.
The tags should be one of the ideas. I wonder how untag the increasing number of file tags after preview?
Is it possible to search only the pdf files currently opened by "Preview" in "finder".
