Finding aspect ratios?

Post by terrypin »

I'm exploring ways to find images of say 16:9 aspect ratio (AR) in one or more folders. So far I have three: a macro I wrote myself (glacially slow), a VBS script (fast), and a freeware tool called Dimensions2Folders (fastest and best).

It's a long shot but I'm wondering if Everything can also somehow do it please?

It's disappointing that File Explorer cannot display AR. Given all the obscure column options amongst the 350 or so, the
absence of AR seems a major oversight.

Thanks, but that doesn't search on aspect ratio. And it would be totally impractical to attempt it by searching on 'Dimension'. An AR of 16:9, for example (to some tolerance) could result from hundreds of different width/height values.

Since my earlier post I had a suggested approach in a Win 10 forum. It's way above my know-how level, but the key is using a PowerShell script to run an SQL query on the Windows Index. From the depths of my ignorance that prompts the idea that this might work for the Everything Index?

Searching and displaying aspect ratios is on my TODO list.

Currently. Everything doesn't not have this ability.
