Two questions

[arindamc]

Can xyplorer search through the tags of an mp3 file? Example, I want to search for mp3 files which belong to album 'x'?

Also, how do I make xyplorer display search results in the current tab? (rather than in a new tab?)

1) No
2) F9 → Find files and Branch view → Show search result in

1) I don't use this...., but since ID tags are plain text you can utilize 'Find Files' (F12) by 'Content'
Not that accurate, but it should work somehow.

If the album title is seen be the extended file properties (see screenshot) then you can search for it using the prop selector:

Name field:

Code: Select all

prop:album:Life*

I would like to know what is prop selector and how do I use it to find what I want.

Example: please see the attached screenshot. Say, I want to find the mp3 file with the comment '2007 Bells Of Accra' (and yes, the tags of the file are fully readable and accessible through properties => details) inside it!

Copy the following line in the address bar of the XYplorer and press enter:

Code: Select all

::help("idh_find.htm#idh_findfilesbyproperties")

I believe that that is the explanation you are looking for.

Quick way to lookup property names or IDs is to run this script -> http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 261#p67261 and then use them from Find Files' Name & location tab as described by admin before.
