childfilecount with the specified extensions

[Hjkma]

The command "childfilecount" is great, allows to quickly find folders with a large number of files. But I would like another such similar command, but with files only with specified extensions. Say I need to find folders with 1000 or more files with the jpg extension (images). Then this command would save more time by immediately finding these folders with many images. Thanks!

A bit of a round-about way may give you an approximation of what you want:

childfilecount:99

That will find directories with 99 files.
Select them (highlight them), then Edit|Copy.

That puts the directory names into a filelist: format (well actually it copies to the clipboard, more generally).
You can paste that copy back into Everything, & it will paste as a filelist:

Code: Select all

filelist:"S:\uploads\2017\09|C:\TMP\SEA\browser\omnijar\chrome\comm\content\editor|H:\HEH3|H:\XP43_C\TMP\radtools\setup_7.0.0.180_19.02.2008_03-09\images|H:\SON\SEAGATE\OFFICE\LAR\Documents\Word\CliftonParkPool\PCO's"

Massage that a bit.
Remove the string, filelist:".
Enclose with an opening paren (.
Preface with your wanted file types; ext:gif

Code: Select all

ext:gif  (S:\uploads\2017\09|C:\TMP\SEA\browser\omnijar\chrome\comm\content\editor|H:\HEH3|H:\XP43_C\TMP\radtools\setup_7.0.0.180_19.02.2008_03-09\images|H:\SON\SEAGATE\OFFICE\LAR\Documents\Word\CliftonParkPool\PCO's"

Now that will display gif files found within the source directories (rather then exclusively directories that contain 99 gifs).

Something like that might be close enough, depending on your needs.

I tried to do all this, but unsuccessfully, through Edit|Copy the program does not copy the selected folders into the text of the filelist format. And after that, when I tried manually to make a text similar to the second code (with the real paths of my folders), the program does not show anything. What version do you use? I am using 1.4.1.877 (x64). Also the program in the Russian localization.

And, as I understood from the description, such a method is not exactly what I need, I need to see only the folders that contain the required number of files, not the files themselves in them. But nevertheless thanks for the advice!

I do like your suggestion. I can see myself using this.

If you want to do it right now, @therube has the right approach, but with a minor difference:

- In Everything, search for "ext:jpg" (without the quotes)
- export the results as an EFU file (TEST.EFU)
- open this TEST.EFU in Everything
- searchquery "childfilecount:>100" will give you all the folders with more than 100 JPG's in them.

Good luck!

EDIT: When you're done: Menu:File > Close File List
