Color Filters: Showing Mount Folders That Actually Have Mounted Drives

[Jerry]

I have a folder called DRIVES under which I have different subfolders that I use to mount external drives. At any time, only a few subfolders actually have external drives mounted under them. Is there a color filter expression that can indicate which of these subfolders actually have mounted drives? Or, is there any other way in XYplorer to see this?

There is even a default color filter for that...

attr:junction

Ah, I forgot to mention that I am using that filter already but it does not distinguish between mount points with currently mounted drives and those with placeholders. For example, in folders that have been mount points previously, but not currently, XYplorer reports:

The system cannot find the path specified.
Volume(6f9b....)

I want a color filter that will not mark those folders, only the ones under which drives are currently mounted and accessible.

What do you get here in either case?

Code: Select all

exist "<path to folder...>";

attr:junction AND prop:#HardLinks:1
or eventually
attr:junction AND prop:#HardLinks:>=1

Because for a non available mount, #HardLinks is "The system cannot find the path specified."

So, there are 2 subfolders, MUSIC 7,8-BK and MUSIC 3,4-BK. Only the first subfolder has an external drive currently mounted under it. For that, exist reports:

• Path: U:\DRIVES\MUSIC 7,8-BK
  Real Path: U:\DRIVES\MUSIC 7,8-BK
  ExistFile: False
  ExistPath: True
  ExistFolder: True
  ExistItemFF: True
  ExistPathFF: True
  ExistPathOrFile: True
  ExistPathOrFileShell: True
  ExistIcon: True
  IsNetworkLocation: False
  GetDriveType: 3 (DRIVE_FIXED)
  GetItemType: 2
  GetFileAttributes: 0x411 (1041)
  Owner: EARTH\Jerry
  This path available in Tree: True
  Current node available in Tree: True
  Watchable: True
  FilenamesCaseSensitive: False
  
  Junction Target 0: Volume{e34f74e0-a50a-4545-a1c7-33fe8ff42e8c}\
  Junction Target 1: U:\DRIVES\MUSIC 7,8-BK
  Junction Target 2: U:\DRIVES\MUSIC 7,8-BK
  IsMountPointVolume: True
  MountPoint: U:\DRIVES\MUSIC 7,8-BK

For the subfolder without a currently mounted drive, exist reports:

• Path: U:\DRIVES\MUSIC 3,4-BK
  Real Path: U:\DRIVES\MUSIC 3,4-BK
  ExistFile: False
  ExistPath: True
  ExistFolder: True
  ExistItemFF: True
  ExistPathFF: False
  ExistPathOrFile: True
  ExistPathOrFileShell: True
  ExistIcon: True
  IsNetworkLocation: False
  GetDriveType: 3 (DRIVE_FIXED)
  GetItemType: 2
  GetFileAttributes: 0x411 (1041)
  Owner: EARTH\Jerry
  This path available in Tree: True
  Current node available in Tree: True
  Watchable: True
  FilenamesCaseSensitive: False
  
  Junction Target 0: Volume{fac33afa-2e31-4a33-8638-120593920e9f}\
  Junction Target 1: U:\DRIVES\MUSIC 3,4-BK
  Junction Target 2: U:\DRIVES\MUSIC 3,4-BK
  IsMountPointVolume: True
  MountPoint: U:\DRIVES\MUSIC 3,4-BK

attr:junction AND prop:#HardLinks:>=1

This works! Thanks!

ExistPathFF seems to be the only difference!

I'm glad that highend's idea works.
