I have 71 folders containing mp3s, and I want to append " - [bitrate]k mp3" to the end of each folder's name. All mp3s in each folder have the same bit-rate, so I only need to see the first.

Is it possible to have branch view only show the first file in each folder?

Liked the idea and added it.

Yay!

FYI, this is what you want:

This is actually a pretty beautiful feature, and I'm glad it's implemented beyond just branch view.

It also works by first switching to branch view, and then searching with "/limitperdir=1". It's automatically changed to "/limitperdir=1 /:flat" (where lpd is its shortcut).

That just saved me about an hour. Thanks Don!

Here's a related question:

How do I eliminate all folders from this branch view that contain the " - [bitratenum] mp3" postfix? (where the top-most folder contains that postfix)

Something like
but that doesn't work.

Not possible.

Ah well. Still celebrating the first step!

Don,
As the switch is also supported in Tags database - would it always return the first matches or randomize. If it returns random rows, it would be fantastic. I can ditch some of my scripts then.

No randomize, always the first.

A workaround to highlight the folders that haven't been renamed: Before you start, add "- mp3" (2 spaces) to the end of each folder. Then Ctrl+M (selection filter) to select all folders with that postfix (search term "- mp3"). Whichever ones the bit rate has been added to won't be selected.
