File count

[CrxtJ7tOs4Iq]

Is it possible to get a file count of a folder using everything search? Sort of like how you can get its size?
I have found a work around using powershell and the commandline version of Everything but its painfully slow.

*EDIT*
It seems the data is readily available using "childfilecount: or childcount:" but just cant be displayed or sorted on through the GUI

Currently, this is not easy.

You could try searching for the folder path and the file: search.
For example, to find the number of files in C:\windows, search for:
parent:c:\windows file:
The number of files is shown in the status bar.

You can also search for child file count with the childfilecount: search function, for example, to find folders with more than 500 files, search for:
childfilecount:>500

The next major version of Everything will have an optional file count column.

I will patiently wait...



Thank you for the amazing tool!

Hello! And how about file count by folder/disc some 2 years after this thread was initialized?

Version 1.5 allows you to add several file or folder count columns

Everything v1.5 Alpha

Right-click on the Results column headers (Name, Path, Size, etc)
Select Add Columns... from the menu.
Type "count" into the search.
Select from the list, either or both:
- Child File Count --- This will count first-generation child files inside of folders.
- Descendant File Count --- This will count all-generation (child and grandchild) files inside of folders (and their folders).
Hold down the Ctrl key while clicking to select more than one.
Click OK.
