Feature wish - height and width search for images.

[Shutey]

I frequently use XYplorer to sort through folders full of images and that can include looking for images larger than a certain width or height or both or sometimes smaller than.

As height and width information is in an image's metadata can we not have a command available for use in the quick search/filters similar to ":size >= n" but with both height and width conditions along the lines of ":height >= x, width >= y;" in order to find all images that meet the conditions for the specified pixels x and y.

Thank you

The search can use properties (and you can save searches to make them more repeatable)

I don't use extra columns myself but from what I read here on the forum I'm pretty confident that you could set up extra columns for width and height of image files and then use search criteria as you wish.

I guess the real issue here is the help documentation because even since reading the above I have been unable to find anything that mentions height or width anywhere. However I had a guess at the syntax based on how size is used and found you are spot on and that "height: > x and width: > y" did exactly what I wanted.

Thank you very much for this, much appreciated.

I looked into this and I cannot see an easy way to set up a column for this except as an extra column with a script behind it. I am also not sure how you would then associate list columns with a quick search or filter. Being able to use the attributes height: and width: in a search solves my issue but thank you for your reply.

Some examples using image dimensions:

Code: Select all

 e quicksearch("{:Image} AND prop:System.Image.HorizontalSize: >= 5000");

Code: Select all

 e quicksearch("prop:#AspectRatio: == 16:9");

Code: Select all

  if(property('System.Image.HorizontalSize') >= "3800" AND property('System.Image.VerticalSize') >= "2000") {
    msg "Horiontal dimension greater than 3800 and vertical dimension greater than 2000";}
  else {msg "Horiontal dimension less than 3800 and vertical dimension less than 2000";}
