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) 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.

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 ->
