Idea on how to find directories containing X

[aviasd]

Hi
Does anyone have an idea how to search for folders containing X, e.g all folders containing .mp3 or audio files ? possibly limiting it to the first parent directory
I like the option of seeing the sizes of dirs and it would be nice to locate all directories containing X when you have multiple locations for media files etc...
It would be also cool if everything had an option to show the size of the directory with the size of it applied according to the current filter, I.E ext:mp3 folder: - would show the total size of mp3's in that directory...
Thanks and kudos for the best file search engine in existence (IMHO)!

To search for folders containing a mp3 file, search for:
child:*.mp3

Limit the search to a specific folder:
d:\music\ child:*.mp3

It would be also cool if everything had an option to show the size of the directory with the size of it applied according to the current filter, I.E ext:mp3 folder: - would show the total size of mp3's in that directory...

To show the total folders sizes of mp3 files only:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Indexes tab on the left.
• Check Index folder size.
• Click OK.
• search for:
  *.mp3
• From the File menu, click Export.
• Change Save as type to: EFU Everything File List (*.efu)
• Choose a filename, eg: all mp3 files and click Save.
• From the File menu, click Open File list....
• Select the exported file list from above and click Open.
• Folders now show the total size calculated from mp3 files only.

To close the file list:

• In Everything, from the File menu, click Close File List.

Huh
You posted while I was writing this post...
Just saw the child: option ,which does what i want..

About the dynamic folder sizes...Your trick does work nicely but you'll agree it's a bit clunky, it would be much nicer to calculate the size dynamically - instead of creating file lists for every type of extension/s , maybe even using pre-configured filters ,etc
