IE 10 lack of search preferences

In my project, I am using IE10 to fix some bugs. The project has many files with same name main.js in different folders. Something like below:

JS (folder)
  --> folderOne
      -- main.js
  --> folderTwo
      -- main.js
  --> folderThree
      -- main.js

Now when I am in need of select a file which is in folder folderThree, I am clicking on file chooser which is showing all the js files with names main.js. Now to get my needed file, I need to hover over all the files one by one to check the directory from which the file has been originated. This process is really annoying. I think there must be some other alternative or may be it has been ignored by IE developers. Anyway to resolve this?

In Mozilla firebug, a user can search for a filename based on the folder name which is really user friendly(IMHO).

PS: The above scenario is just example. Actually, in my project I have many folders with same file name.

Solution

  • An old post states FireBug Lite works with IE,

    I think that will solve the problem easily, as IE. Console methods may work or not, but firebug will do for sure.. :)

    Its also having js version that you can incluse in the <head> of html file..

    there is one trick to this refer this video, that adds code to shortcut in IE 10 and firebug works

    I hope this will do,
