Possible to search for media files with certain info tips?

[itsme28m]

Hi,

Does anybody know that it is possible to search for files that has certain info tips?

So for example, i would like to find all files with a resolution for 480p or higher, is this possible?

You can read them by using command property.
I wrote a little script to read all file properties, maybe this could be a starting point:

Forgot XY already has a way to do this.

Yes, it is. Check help for prop: prefix in searches.

For starters:

Code: Select all

v8.60.0106 - 2009-11-16 21:07

  +++ Find Files: Now you can directly search for the extended 
      properties of file items, as also known from the File Info Tips. 
      Their names and indices vary strongly between different Windows 
      versions. A list is available in Configuration | File Info Tips.
      The syntax is like above with "tag:" or "comment:", only with yet 
      another field for the actual property. To identify properties by 
      their index prefix "#" to the number.
      Examples:
      - prop:fileversion:8.60 //find all items with version *8.60*
      - prop:fileversion:"8.60" // with version 8.60
      - prop:#8:Donald          // with owner *Donald*
      - prop:#26:"1024 x 768"   // with dimensions "1024 x 768"
      NOTE: While this new feature adds enormous power to XY's file 
      search, it is not extremely fast because retrieving extended 
      properties via the shell is rather slow.

Thanks.

I checked the help file also, but it seems you can only give both dimensions "1024 x 768", i only need to find the 768 (in this example), and, only to 768 and higher (that is for this example, i actually want to search for all files from 480p to more. So i want to find all good quality files togheter, move it to another location, and leave the less quality files to a seperate location. Is this possible? Searching on file size is not really an option, since i have several small files from a few minutes or even seconds in 720p.

Win7 offers width and height separately for common formats like PNG and JPEG. For other image file types it depends on the installed codecs which properties are actually exposed.

You can do this if you know the prop#. Use the script i mentioned below to retrieve the number and then you can use XY prop: to search them.
For my image files i have #162 for width and #164 for height.
btw you can also use: ImageX and ImageY

Try:
prop:ImageX:1280

for Width equal to 1280

Thanks!

Almost there...

I don't need it at the moment for images, but for videos.

So i tried prop:#283:>480 to search everything with a resolution of more then 480p, that didn't work

Without the > it did work, but it gave only the video files with 480p, and not the 720p, so is it possible to search for the given resolution and higer resolution togheter?

Edit: I think i got it... i forgot a space.

prop:#283: > 470 works

I had to say 470 because else it didn't give 480 (479 would be better i guess ), great to know that this is possible!!

Edit: Weird that it also finds many other files like jpg's, apk's, zip and rar archives,.... while there is no dimension information in the file info tip... any idea why this is? Anyway, i find a way around this by searching only for type "video files", and problem solved

Don't know, probably prop:#283 means something else for these files. But you already have figured it out to overcome this.

You can use SC property to find out what is returned.
