I am sure it can be done but I can't figure it out - my 3rd day using the program. Please help :)

Hello all, I am new to using everything and I am so happy to have found a software like this. Trying my hardest to learn how to use it. It's so useful.

My issue is this:
I have a root folder "H:\Graphics\New" that I want to search for a specific type of files (*.ttf) and after I find them, I want everything to display a list with only the level 1 folders whom their children contain those *ttf files.

I now search with using this: child:*.ttf H:\Graphics\New
and that search returns a list of all the parent folders of every *.ttf file it found in the subdirectories.
I want some help how to search in order to get the level one folders that contain all the *.ttf that my initial search found:
The result should look like this, so I will be able to select them and move them to the fonts directory.

"H:\Graphics\New\1"
"H:\Graphics\New\5"
"H:\Graphics\New\23"
"H:\Graphics\New\25"
"H:\Graphics\New\31"
"H:\Graphics\New\32"
"H:\Graphics\New\35"
"H:\Graphics\New\99"

I am not sure if it can be done using filelists in 1.5 - I am kind of confused with so many search modifiers, I can't figure it out.
Hopefully someone will help me.
I appreciate it.

Thank you for your feedback tassos0104,

Please try the following search:

depth:4 H:\Graphics\New\ *.ttf

depth:



If you are using Everything 1.5, please try the following search:

H:\Graphics\New\*\*.ttf

Thank you for the quick reply. I appreciate it.
I tried H:\Graphics\New\ depth:4 *.ttf and also H:\Graphics\New\*\*.ttf (I am using 1.5)
but as a result I got the *ttf files instead of the folders I am looking for.

Last night I was trying to figure it out and finally I think I found the term to search for.
Let me know if you think it's correct.

"H:\Graphics\New\" descendant:*.otf depth:3

Sorry, I missed the child: bit..

"H:\Graphics\New\" descendant:*.otf depth:3

This should work.
Sounds like you don't want folders that have a direct .ttf descendant (aka child)

Adjust depth: as needed.

descendant:



Alternative searches:

"H:\Graphics\New\*" descendant:*.otf
"H:\Graphics\New\*\*" descendant:*.otf
