[Solved] How to search for folders only

#1 Post by mike69290 » 07.12.2023, 10:06

Hello

I need to make a search only for folders,
with a folder name and non-empty condition.

How?

Thanks

Use this for File name field in Search dialog:

Code: Select all

-*.*
Regarding the size or number of items, I'm not sure if it's possible.

Workaround, use column for number of items - "Items" in Details view, and Plain view - folders - Shift+Ctrl+B, then sort by Items.

-*.*
This will find files without extension too.

I would suggest for all folders only:

Code: Select all

:D
for folders with known name

Code: Select all

:D;folder_name
After that I would export all items to container Ctrl+E.
In detail view you can see the folder size (if activated under Folder->Size of folders).
