Folder inside folders

Post by HouseX »

Ok i dont know if thats mentioned somewhere..

lets say i have 100 folders in a drive and in 50 folders(i dont know how many) there is a folder inside of them called "Somehow" so i wanna list all those folders which dont have the folder "Somehow"

How can i do that?

i do !/Somehow but then it lists the parent folders too and other inside folders except "Somehow" folders which is something i dont want.

i just wanna list all the parent folders which dont have the "Somehow" folder inside

is there a way to do it?

(In "Everything" version 1.2.1.451a) filter on Folder, search for !\somehow\.

I believe that will do what you want.
