Find files with same extension in folder

Post by petar5 »

hello,
My goal is to get as a result folders containing more than one files with a given extension.
Next example would match (folder may include other files aswell):
folder: TestFolder
file1: test1.m3u
file2: test2.m3u

I've tried the next search string without success
extension:m3u child-file-count:>1 childfoldercount:0

Is it possible?
Thanks

To find m3u files where two or more m3u files exist in the same location, search for:

*.m3u
Right click the Path column header and click Find Path Duplicates.

(Requires Everything 1.5)



If you are only interested in folder results:
  • Perform the search above and find path duplicates, then:
  • Select all results (Ctrl + A)
  • Copy the filenames to the clipboard (Ctrl + Shift + C)
  • Type in the following search:
    childfilelist1:
  • Hold down Ctrl and click the childfilelist1: text.
  • Paste your filenames (Ctrl + V)
  • Click OK.


To find folders containing one or more m3u files, search for:

child:*.m3u
