Display folder.jpg and cover.jpg but only if they are in the same folder.

Post by TersonWatt »

Hi everyone, I've just found Everywhere and I'm amazed at all the ultra-quick searches that are now available to me. Mind boggling!

To tidy up my music folders I'd like to display files folder.jpg and cover.jpg but only if they are in the same folder. Is this possible?

I worked out the syntax* to display the folders that contain a folder.jpg file and a cover.jpg file but it would be a useful to be able to display the files rather than the folders:
*<parent folder> child:"folder.jpg" child:"cover.jpg"

If it is possible, I can then scan through and compare the two files side by side and delete the worse looking or smallest file as appropriate.

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

Thank you for your feedback TersonWatt,



This will be possible in Everything 1.5 with file-exists:

In Everything 1.5, please try the following search:

<folder.jpg fileexists:cover.jpg> | <cover.jpg fileexists:folder.jpg>

Thanks for the quick reply.

After installing 1.5 and adding wfn: to your search suggestion I'm seeing the files I was looking for. Magic!! :D :D :D

<wfn:folder.jpg fileexists:cover.jpg> | <wfn:cover.jpg fileexists:folder.jpg>

Many thanks, much appreciated.
