Display only Main Folders which contains a specific filetype in underfolders.

Post by kremig »

Hi. I love this software but couldnt figure out how to display only "Level 1" Folders which contains specific filetype in underfolders. I have alot of project folders where i need to copy these ones out , which contain "*mid" filetypes in subfolders.

My Structure is :

MAIN FOLDER
-----------------
(LEVEL1) 500 PROJECT FOLDERS
----------------
DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SUBFOLDERS
(LEVEL2) some containing .mid filetype
(LEVEL 3) some containing .mid filetype
(LEVEL 4) some containing .mid filetype
(LEVEL 5) some containing .mid filetype
(LEVEL 6) some containing .mid filetype


i need to display just the "level 1" folders on the "Name" Tab ,if in some layer of subfolders is a ".mid" filetype. so i can cut them out.


Ive tried with child & parent around and can display each folder which contains the specific filetype on the "path" tab , but not on the "Name" tab .

You will need Everything 1.5.

parent:c:\main\folder descendant-file:*.mid

-lists folders directly under: c:\main\folder
-lists folders where there is a descendant file with a filename that matches: *.mid

parent:
descendant-file:
