Code: Select all
v14.70.0010 - 2014-12-20 13:34
+ Find Files and Quick Search: Added switch /x (think, uh, "no") by which
the search will return all folders that don't contain any matching items.
Examples:
readme.txt /x //return all folders that don't contain a file readme.txt
*.jpg /x //return all folders that don't contain any JPEG file
/x //return all folders that don't contain anything (= are empty)
size: > 50KB /x //return all folders that don't contain files larger 50KB
prop:#empty:1 /x //return all folders that don't contain any empty files
Notes:
- The no-parent switch can be combined with all other switches and all search
filters (Name, Size, Date, Attributes, Tags, Contents) apart from Dupes.
- The no-parent switch cannot be combined with a tags database search
since the database does not know or care about folders that are not
listed in it. So when you pass the switch to a tags search it will not
use the fast indexed approach but the normal file system approach:
green /Lp //indexed search
lbl:green /p //indexed search
green /Lx //non-indexed search
lbl:green /x //non-indexed search
- You may combine /p and /x, but it will not make much sense since then
simply all scanned folders are returned, including the top folder:
readme.txt /px //return all folders incl. the search location (!)
- NOTE: The switches /p and /x will not return drive roots but just
folders.
* Find Files and Quick Search: On Dupes search the switches /p and /x are
ignored now. The results would be just too useless.
Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.
It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...)
before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.
