show only folders that contain any mp3s?

Post by frew »

Hello,
I'm wondering if there is a way to show all folders on my hard drive that contain any mp3s?
I don't need to see the mp3s, just the folders, if they happen to have any mp3s in them.
I like to see the folders show up without having to check in the path column.

By the way, I just started using Everything and so far I think it's amazing.

Thank you very much,

frew

To search for folders containing an mp3 file, search for:

Code: Select all

child:*.mp3

Thank you very much.

For so long I've been looking for a search tool to show me all the folders on my hard drive
that contain mp3 files, and this works beautifully. And so quickly...truly amazing.

Thanks again,

Wow! This is great. I found the thread on macros and filters here and I've really gone nuts with it.

Example: I've made macros for TV shows broadcast in the last week, and Documentaries I still need to watch -- by subject.

You can do much of this in Explorer but there's always some limitation to creating that perfect, quick glance of your relevant files. Everything gives you so much fine-grained control. Cool! 8-)
