Tip: Searching for Windows Comments

Post by admin »

Just a tip because the Help file is somewhat lacking here at the moment. If you are looking for love you have these options:

Code: Select all

       
      prop:#24:love                     Well, #24 is the index of the Comments property in Win8.1
                                        This index changes with every Windows release!
                                        You can look up the index in this list:
                                        Configuration | Information | File Info Tips | Show custom file info tips
      
      prop:System.Comment:love          This way should be stable across all Windows 
                                        releases from Win7 onwards. But you never know.
                                        The codes ("System.Comment") are found here, but bring some time:
                                        https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/win32/properties/props
      
      prop:*Comments:love               Works if the Comments property is called "Comments", i.e. if your
                                        locale is English.
      
      prop:*Kommentare:love             Works if the Comments property is called "Kommentare", i.e. if your
                                        locale is German.
