Compare parent folders (no sub folders)

Post by eswul62 »

Have been trying for a while not but can't get it done.

I'd like Everything to show (e.g.)
D:\Attachments
and
X:\PDF\Attachments

-only-
No sub folders of the above folders.

So, Everything to show:
D:\Attachments .... size...etc
X:\PDF\Attachments... size... etc.

Nothing else.

Tried with parents: and depth: but subfolders are still displayed.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

these are just a few attempts...

Finally, by mere coincidence, I found it... Parents:1 <path>
but a space should be added after the '1'.

Note that parents:1 D:\Attachments;N:\PDF\Attachments doesn't work, the 2nd folder is not displayed.
Regretfully so.

Thanks again!
