Only files OR (empty) folders in search results

[kodepr]

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to define some specific searches:
- a search where no folders but only files are listed as search results?
- the exact opposite: a search where no files but only folders are listed as search results?
- only empty folders are listed as search results?

Thanks in advance for your help.

- a search where no folders but only files are listed as search results?

In TC's search window, tab Advanced, set Attributes and disable [ ] Directory. Leave the other attributes as is.

- the exact opposite: a search where no files but only folders are listed as search results?

Same as above, only enable [X] Directory.

- only empty folders are listed as search results?

You need a content plugin for that, like DirSizeCalc or FileX. After installing either of them, use the Plugins tab and set

Code: Select all

FileX | EmptyDir | = | Yes

or

Code: Select all

DirSizeCalc | Empty | = | Yes

or

Code: Select all

DirSizeCalc | Contains Files | = | No
DirSizeCalc | Contains Subdirectories | = | No

Tip: Searches can be saved and loaded again on the Load/Save tab of TC's search window.

Regards
Dalai

All of your request can be made with very simple Everything commands in TC search.

Only folders:
ev:folder:your_search

Only files:
ev:files:your_search

Only empty folder:
ev:folder:empty:your_search
