I need to search a directory tree recursively for all directories containing a certain file, pass the found directories to the list box and then "pack" using TreeCopyPlus (packer plugin) to copy all these found directories (with all containing files and directory structure considered).
However, there is no simple workflow/solution/plugin to find these directories. Currently, I use the DirSizeCalc content plugin to search for a certain file count, since I know the number if the file to search for exists (and that it is a different number if the file does not exist) and that the file only exists on leaf directories. Is there any better/direct solution?
Sorry, if duplicated issue, but I actually searched the forum and found no acceptable solution so far.

Re: Find directories containing certain file
Thanks. Indeed, that is the kind of plugin I was thinking of. Was not yet aware of the FileInDir content plugin. Let me see if I can make a proper 64-bit version of it.
