depth folder unique

[ChrisGreaves]

I am feeling particularly clever this morning because i worked out what I needed without asking a question.
So now i have a question "Is this the best way to find all folders, to two levels, in my new MEDIA folder?"

I have installed a 2 TB SSD replacing the 256 GB SSD, and this changes my nightly backups, so I am collecting all audio-video-image files under a master folder \MEDIA.
To check on my progress to date i wanted to list all folders one level below T:\MEDIA.

Code: Select all

t:\Media  folders:  depth:3 unique:

Levels2.jpg (221.91 KiB) Viewed 2662 times

This image shows that I still need to drag across the full Audiobooks folder from the old weekly backup drive. Also my Movies/DVDs (MP4 files)

I was puzzled by needing "3" as the argument for Depth. I think that the first level is the root directory of the drive as in "T:\"
The second level is therefore "T:\MEDIA".
And the 3rd level is the level I am looking for.
Thanks for any comments; Chris

"Is this the best way to find all folders, to two levels, in my new MEDIA folder?"

Yes.

Alternative for this case:

Code: Select all

folders:  t:\Media\*\*   unique:

In Everything 1.5, * means 1 "folderlevel".
(becomes less practical when looking 17 levels deep )

I was puzzled by needing "3" as the argument for Depth.

(sounds familiar, but now I am used to it)

depth:0 is used for the root

depth: is an alias for parents:
parents:0 will give you C:, parents:3 gives you

Code: Select all

c:\Media\Images\Camera
1     2      3

Yes. ... Alternative for this case:

NotNull, thanks fir the feedback (I grow in confidence) and for the gentle nudge towards greater understanding of Everything!

Trying to understand everything is a worthy goal.

I saw something recently that the average individual could understand all human knowledge sometime in the 17th century. After that, there is just too much growth in our knowledge.
