Hello,
I use the folder filter to monitor the count of files in folders, but I could not find out is how can get the count of files for a certain case.
For example :
folder: depth:0 will give the count of all files for each drive, now I want to extend the filter to display the count of files that have an MD5 hash only or the count of videos and picture files only and so on.
Best Regards
Count of files In folder Filter in a certain case
Re: Count of files In folder Filter in a certain case
For example, to get the number of FLAC files on each drive:
Don't know how to approach your MD5 case.
Code: Select all
root: descendant:*.flac add-column:A;descendant-file-count: A-label:="# flac files" A:=descendant-occurrence-count:
Don't know how to approach your MD5 case.

Hello everybody,
I tried to solve this case but still no progress from my side, this filter is ok but I could not get it to filter md5: property instead of *.flac
Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
Regards

Everything doesn't have a method to count the number of files with an md5 property.
Wouldn't all your files have an md5 property?
(or are you looking at files which might still be gathering this information)
Can you use the child file count property?

Hi,
I am looking at files which might still be gathering this information.
I tried child file count property, but it did not work (maybe I did not use it properly).

You could do this with two passes:
Search for the following:
md5:
-or-
*.flac md5:
(if you're only interested in flac files)
From the File menu, click Export....
Choose a filename and click Save.
From the File menu, click Open File List....
Choose your file list from above and click Open.
The following will show the gathered md5 counts.
root: add-column:descendant-file-count
-or-
folder: add-column:descendant-file-count
Search for the following:
md5:
-or-
*.flac md5:
(if you're only interested in flac files)
From the File menu, click Export....
Choose a filename and click Save.
From the File menu, click Open File List....
Choose your file list from above and click Open.
The following will show the gathered md5 counts.
root: add-column:descendant-file-count
-or-
folder: add-column:descendant-file-count
Re: Count of files In folder Filter in a certain case
I already did something like that , but the thing is that I want to monitor the progress (at most to press F5 to refresh) showing a summary list contains: drive letter ,total size, number of file.
in this search:
root: descendant:*.flac add-column:A;descendant-file-count: A-label:="# flac files" A:=descendant-occurrence-count:
if there is a way to include something like descendant: to work with properties also.
what I am doing now is listing with filter md5: file: and check the status bar.
