getsize: can't expand folder sizes?

[err_24546]

Using this works—it’ll search for files the same size as file1.txt and file2.txt:

Code: Select all

size:[getsize:"F:folder1\file1.txt"];[getsize:"F:\folder2\file2.txt"] 

But when you point it at folders, it doesn’t work. You just get the whole database back:

Code: Select all

size:[getsize:"F:folder1"];[getsize:"F:\folder2"] 

Is that expected?

[getsize:] only works for files.

Please try the following search instead:

Code: Select all

folder: GETPROPERTY($filename:,"size")==GETPROPERTY("C:\Folder1","size")

For multiple folders:

Code: Select all

folder: (GETPROPERTY($filename:,"size")==GETPROPERTY("C:\Folder1","size"))||(GETPROPERTY($filename:,"size")==GETPROPERTY("C:\Folder2","size"))

Thanks.
That works in Everything window. But how can you use that query via es.exe? I tried and doesn't work.

Formulas are not available from ES / IPC at the moment.
(I may add an option in the future to allow formulas)

Formulas only work from the main GUI.
