XYplorer Beta Club

I have tried this in a shortened version for testing, and it does not seem to be working: [L:prop:#contains.*.m4a:0] in several directories that contain only *.jpg files. Am I doing something wrong? (I also tried [L:prop:#contains.*.mp3:0 AND L:prop:#contains.*.mp4:0 AND L:prop:#contains.*.m4a:0 AND...

Some kind individual on this forum once created a file/folder color-coding scheme for me that shows empty folders: [B:prop:#empty:2|fl //empty folders] and one that shows folders without subfolders: [L:prop:#nosubs:2 //folders without subs] and they work great. I was wondering if it is possible to h...

Thanks a bunch, you saved me a bunch of time and heartache. Donation made!

I have done that before and the search results in 8,392 items. Scrolling through, most seem to be exactly what I am looking for, a list of [song1.flac] followed by [song1.m4a], etc. HOWEVER, there are many instances where there is just one lone .m4a, (or 2 or 3 in a row). It appears as if it is trea...

I have created duplicates of my ALAC (m4a extension) audio files as FLAC (flac extension). There are thousands of them, and each duplicate file is in the same directory. For example, each artist is its own directory, and has one or more albums as subdirectories, under which there might be 1 or 20 pa...

Thanks again!

Wow! That worked perfect! So now the question is, how/why DOES that work?

I see you added "System", why?
You capitalized first letters, I am guessing that is unnecessary...
What the heck is "616C6163-767A-494D-B478-F29D25DC9037"??

Just trying to learn with my feeble mind.

I am guessing around 3500 of my 4800 songs are "Apple Lossless audio file" (as displayed in iTunes) or "ALAC" (as displayed in Meta viewers under 'Audio' section, 'format' line). I have been trying variations of prop:#audio.format:"ALAC" prop:#audio.format:"Apple L...

Hi- Sample Rate does indeed require a comma. Also I wasn't thinking, standard sample rate is 44,100 not 48,000. There weren't as many results as I thought, (HiRes music is expensive!) so just shortening to "prop:#audio.bitdepth:"24-bit"" did the trick, setting the mode to Boolean...

Hi, thx for the reply. Your script should find about 90% of my music, but finds nothing. Clearly, I am doing it wrong. Do you have any further info on how to implement your search properly? Feel free to treat me like an idiot as I DON'T know what I am doing yet...

Still new at this, bear with me! I currently have "Sample Rate" and "Bit Depth" displayed (always) in my custom column layout, and have XYplorer set to colorize them for different values - GREAT! What I would like to do now however, is search my entire library for SPECIFIC values...

Sorry to not follow up sooner. I am taking a different tack right now that might get me where I need to be. If not, I'll be back in here! Thank you for your replies and offers to help, I do appreciate it.

Maybe not the best title, but I did say Inaccurate OR missing ;) I have only just started using this (still in trial version) and your statement "use a custom column that is filled by mediainfo (or any other cli tool that is able to spit them out) info..." is probably beyond my capabilitie...

The Meta data for my audio files seems to be somewhat lacking or even incorrect, based on what other programs show for the same file. For instance, XYplorer shows this info (partial, no need to past ALL the irrelevant stuff): Bit Depth: 16-bit Bit Rate: 744 kBit/s Channels: 2 Length: 03:59.444 Sampl...
