...%\_FOLDERPATH%!
Leaving no way to filter by e.g. .\*\artist\track.
PS DetlevD suggests:
As a workaround proposal (not tested) you may create a new temporary tagfield called "PATH" or so and format this tagfield with Formatstring "%\_PATH%".
Then use the placeholder "PATH" in filter panel.

Yes, this is indeed unintended behaviour. I'll change this to the next release and provide a FOLDERPATH entry for those who rely on the current behaviour.
The workaround won't work btw.

Confirmed fixed in V2.41b
NEW: added \_FOLDERPATH filtering option.
CHG: filtering by \_PATH uses the complete file path now.
Thanks!
