It was the best keyword that ever lived.

I noticed there is [Filename (path)] now but that doesn't even come close to what [Folder] did.

I'm running 180 and it's still there. It works fine. I've got quite a few smartlists dependent on it. It's very important for my import/cleaning process. No way that's going away. Not without some 'splainin'. :-)

If memory serves, they removed it when they added calculated fields.

The thing is, I am pretty sure they restored it after many people complained about its absence.  Odd that it isn't there anymore.  Maybe they removed by accident?  Perhaps you should report it as a bug.  (You should probably do a forum search first since this has been addressed before.)

UPDATE:[/u]  Actually, both "Filename" and "Filename (path)" seem to be missing from the "Rule-->Advanced" list, yet they both appear in the "Columns To Show" list.  This is probably a bug I think.

It's been gone for a long time. It was also one of the things I 'whined' about when it went missing (ignored as usual). And I second your notion that it was the best keyword. Basing view schemes on this for main folders was simple. Now it is PITA with [Filename=(path)].
