Find to disregard commas. Also use exact size.
Posted: 15 Jun 2018 07:19
Hello,
Just something to make things a little faster.
If I want to search for a file that has exactly 781696 bytes, then I have to input
"at least 781696" and "at most 781696" to find it (in the size tab of the file find).
Two suggestions:
1) Insert another box saying "exactly" so that we do not have to input the size twice.
(or, use a fixed letter, such as "=" to one of the two boxes so that only one box has
to be filled).
2) If I right-click a filesize in the file catalog (not the find file) and I copy its data,
I get 781,696 instead of 781696. Now, if I paste it on the find file by size as it is
(i.e. "781,696" instead of "781696"), I get files of 781 bytes, not 781696 bytes.
Is there a way to disregard the commas and/or fullstops (depending on the regional
settings) on the file find? In any case, there are no files of with decimal points
after all.
Thanks!
