How could Everything show the content - all files and all the files of the sub folders and sub folder of the sub folders, etc. - with a special name?
E.g. show all files of the folders named "Konz" and the files of the sub folders of "Konz" and all the content of their sub folders (in all hierarchies down).
And how could I exclude (the files / content of) one or more folders named "Konz" on special drives or with special paths from the search above?
E.g. the content of folders named "Konz" on drive I: and having the path(s) B:\Konz shall not be shown / found.

Re: How could Everything show the content - all files and all the files of the sub folders - with a special name?
I tested this with the "Program Files" folder, as this contains a space
Reports the content of "T:\Program Files", but not "C:\Program Files" and it's content.
Note the \ after "\program files\". This will cause Everything to report the content of "\program files\", but not the "\program files\" folder itself.
(I hope I understood your question correctly...)
Code: Select all
"\program files\" !<c:\ "\program files">
Note the \ after "\program files\". This will cause Everything to report the content of "\program files\", but not the "\program files\" folder itself.

Many thanks!
So the same search should work here, too, I assume. On C: is Win installed. Almost 10.000.000 items are shown. This is shown:
I assume, I did anything wrong here.

Why just the ones of T:? It would not shown all of the contents of all folders named program files besides of the ones on C:?Reports the content of "T:\Program Files", but not "C:\Program Files" and it's content.
Well...actually...yes, I do so as well...and I hope, I expressed correctly what I meant.(I hope I understood your question correctly...)

Translated to your situation:
- or even -
Code: Select all
"\Konz\" Code: Select all
"\Konz\" !<B:\ "\Konz">Code: Select all
"\Konz\" !B:\Re: How could Everything show the content - all files and all the files of the sub folders - with a special name?
Works very well, thank you.
So this would show all the content of all folders namend Konz on all drives besides of I: and Z:, I assume.
And if I wanted to exclude only one folder Konz on I: I would have to do it like this(?):

Very sorry,I did understand a \ behind (program files) Konz would avoid the folders to be shown in (program files) Konz, but it does not seem to be like that. What am I missing?I do not understand what you mean. What folders are shown that you didn't expect to be shown? (if the foldernames contain sensitive text, replace that with something else).
Re: How could Everything show the content - all files and all the files of the sub folders - with a special name?
If you have a folder c:\konz, with in it a file - photo.jpg - ,
- Searching for "\konz" will show you (1) c:\konz and (2) c:\konz\photo.jpg
- Searching for "\konz\" will show you (1) c:\konz\photo.jpg.
That is what I meant with
- Searching for "\konz" will show you (1) c:\konz and (2) c:\konz\photo.jpg
- Searching for "\konz\" will show you (1) c:\konz\photo.jpg.

Re: How could Everything show the content - all files and all the files of the sub folders - with a special name?
Very sorry, now I see. The folders named "program files" are not shown, the sub folders of the folders named "program files" are. Sorry again.

No problem!
It *is* hard to explain without examples .. (maybe I should add one for clarity next time)

Yes, that is a good idea...but your explanations were faultless but my understanding wansn't.
Thank you very much!
