Displaying folders that contain a file with specific dimensions

[TersonWatt]

Hi, Your help would be appreciated.

I use the following to search to show me folders that contain a folder.jpg file:

Code: Select all

"J:\0Complete\000 DOWNLOADS\00 EXTRACT 000\" descendant:folder.jpg

I'd like to use a similar search to only show folders when the folder.jpg file has the dimensions 600X600. The following search does not work:

Code: Select all

"J:\0Complete\000 DOWNLOADS\00 EXTRACT 000\" descendant:folder.jpg dimensions:600X600

Is this possible?

Thanks Terson

PS I've been using Everything 1.5 for 2 months now and it has become an essential part of my daily workflow. I wonder how I managed without it! Thanks for providing such a useful tool.

The easiest way would be to just search for folder.jpg and it's dimension.
Then the folder will be listed in the Path column.
'CTRL + ENTER' on folder.jpg will open it's folder in the filemanager (Explorer)

Code: Select all

"J:\0Complete\000 DOWNLOADS\00 EXTRACT 000\" folder.jpg dimensions:600X600

@NotNull Thanks for the suggestion. If it is possible, I was hoping to get a list of the folders, where the 600X600 folder.jpg files are located, so that I could highlight the folders and move them to another location.

I see..
In that case:

• Search for
  "J:\0Complete\000 DOWNLOADS\00 EXTRACT 000\" folder.jpg dimensions:600X600
• Select all files (CTRL + A)
• Copy to the clipboard (CTRL + C)
• In the searchbar, type or paste
  childfilelist1:
• 'CTRL + click' childfilelist1:
  An 'Edit File List 1 window will be shown
• Paste the contents of the clipboard with all selected filenames
• Click OK
• Done

This will show a list of all folders that contain ne or more folder.jpg files with size 600*600

@NotNull WOW! Thanks, that worked.

At the moment, I can't get my head around how the process works but it did exactly what I asked for. Thanks, much appreciated.

I'd like to learn more, is there a help article on the copying & pasting with an addition search function?

A couple of real world examples are in the forum.

You're welcome!

Everything 1.5 is currently in its alpha stage and so is the documentation as some details still might change.

When something is not entirely clear, just ask on the forum (after searching the forum).
That gives us a chance to improve the documentation when needed and gives you a solution (in almost 100% of the cases).
