How to search for folders which contain ONLY images?

Post by phantomc »

How could I search for folders which contain only JPG images, and no other file types or subfolders? Or to put it another way, how can I exclude all folders which contain other file types or subfolders from my search results?

I've started with this search: child:ext:jpg
which does finds folders of JPGs, but of course the results also contain many other file types.


Currently using Everything 1.5.0.1383a

childfilecount: !child:<!*.jpg>



child:<!*.jpg> = match any children that are not jpgs.
! = NOT
childfilecount: is needed as
!child:<!.jpg>
will match empty folders.



Please try a negative look ahead regex search:

childfilecount: !regex:child:^(?!.*\.jpg$)
