Add option to recursively find folders

[chadtilbury]

Files can be recursively searched for, but not folders. While many artifacts are in fixed locations, there are a subset which are not. Good examples are user folders for common cloud storage applications. OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, etc. preferences can be set to store files in non-default locations (i.e. %USERPROFILE%\CloudFiles\Dropbox instead of the default %USERPROFILE%\Dropbox). It would be advantageous to be able to set a starting point (%USERPROFILE% in this example) and a folder name (wild-card enabled) to recursively search for from that point.

While interesting this does little when the folder is completely renamed

Why not target a file that is always in the folder and look for that, like some metadata about Dropbox or something?

I'll certainly see what I can do for folders tho

This feature would be very useful for investigations wherein a subject may keep various files under unique folder name(s) but the folders may be present in multiple (unknown) places on the volume.

This would be extremely useful for portable applications which can be installed anywhere but have to have a specific folder structure eg Tor Browser needs a \TorBrowser\Data\Tor structure for its data files.

Then just search for the executable and back into it that way, no?

i started laying the groundwork for this

FINDING the directory is easy, but there are several other things that need updated to copy out dirs vs files.
