Is it possible to make a search for files without any tags? Or a way to search for files that lack a specific tag? Thank you.

Sure, with quick search (see help)...
E.g.:
Code: Select all
D:\Tools\AutoIt\@Scripts\XYPeekFolders\?tags:!"ico" AND !"exe"
Will find all files in that folder that don't have the tags "ico" & "exe"
Code: Select all
D:\Tools\AutoIt\@Scripts\XYPeekFolders\?tags:""
Finds all files in that folder that don't have any tags

I tried those codes in the address bar, in quick search, and in run script, but in all cases they didn't work. Where was I supposed to enter those codes?
I have, however, found out a method thanks to you. I go to quick search and type: tags: "" for finding files without tags, or NOT tags "cats" to find all files not tagged cats.
Thanks for your help. I'm still interested in what I was supposed to do with the codes you gave me.

Entering them in the address bar is the correct way. Ofc you have to change the folder...

LOL. I didn't realize that beginning part was a folder path. It works now, thanks.
