DIM - Filter by install path

When you have more than one install library path (folder) can you filter the list in the download manager (DIM) by install path?
This is to see what objects were installed in a folder. I had three folders (1 towns buildings, 2 people, 3 initial content) but over time somethings were installed in the wrong folder.
Now I have a new additional hard drive and want to clean up.

    Yes, there's a Path scope selector near the bottom of the above page. So

    path::c:/My path/towns buildings

    for example would show the first folder, once edited to the correct path. Note that you need to use / not \ as a folder separator.

    Thanks for the info I wasn't aware of the advanced filters.
    I'm on a MAC so window drive letters do not apply. example - path to folder for the towns

    Mavericks-Boot/Users/STARGATE/Documents/DAZ-Towns this breaks down to

    Drive name(partition) is Mavericks-Boot - folder path on the drive is /Users/STARGATE/Documents/DAZ_Towns
    Do you know how to use the PATH selector with this example? May be I Have not dug deep enough to see the answer?
    Thanks for your time and replies.

    Try type

    path::Mavericks

    and see if everything still shows, if it does just keep typing until you reach the part of the path that is unique. The filter updates as you type, so you won't need to enter the full path.

    Thanks but this failed also but SOLUTION is:

    If the install is not on the boot drive the path is
    path::/volumes/storage/Daz-Dim-People
    'volumes' designate the mount point is the next field (name of drive) followed by the folder structure.

    If the install path is the boot drive use
    path::Users/STARGATE/Documents/Daz_Towns
    the volume is known so start with folder Users followed by the user followed by the folders.

    Note this is for OSX 10.9 (Mavericks). I believe it would be the same for versions 10.6 - 10.10 Snow leopard to current.
    This is a place to start for all OSX operating system versions.
