Saving Smart Folders Data

You can make a copy of an existing smart folder, add or change filter criteria, and then rename the folder accordingly. You can also create a local copy of the global smart folder in its current state for editing purposes. In My Smart Folders, you can save a folder copy only in My Smart Folders. In Global Smart Folders however, you can save a folder copy in either My Smart Folders or Global Smart Folders. You must have superuser permissions to save a global smart folder copy in Global Smart Folders. Note that when the original global smart folder is updated, information in your local copy is not updated.
