You can also try FileMask plugin.

Nice one
Seems to be a faster than the vbs script solution.

Thanks
Holger

Code: Select all

Mp3 Folder without Folder.jpg_SearchFor=
Mp3 Folder without Folder.jpg_SearchIn=
Mp3 Folder without Folder.jpg_SearchText=
Mp3 Folder without Folder.jpg_SearchFlags=0|000002000020||||||||22221|0000|
Mp3 Folder without Folder.jpg_plugin="filemask.DirMask.FolderJpg = 0 & filemask.DirMask.Mp3 > 0"

[DirMask]
FolderJpg=folder.jpg
Mp3=*.mp3

2VadiMGP,
Thanks for the script this runs very smooth!
I already have a small request. It would be nice to have an ignore case option in the ini file. Now the plugin is case-sensitive, which made me wonder after running it the first time why it didn't return any folders.

2fenix_productions,
Thanks for the link. I will need to checkout the script, it has many possibilities.

Cheers,
MeTAlMollY

Sorry, I don't understand - do you mean script or plugin? Plugin IS case insensitive.

Ofcourse I mean the plugin. It works great

Hi all

It is now 2021 and 12 years later and I have the same need as the original query from MeTAlMollY, except I am on the 64bit version and these plugins are all for 32bit version.

I would like to search all directories/folders which don't contain a specific file(s) poster.jpg and return those folders in the find files list. I have to do this quite often and I would like to be able to use the search like i do for all my other tasks.

What is the best way to do this search now. I have seen this plugin and was hoping it could execute the vbs script mentioned here. I have not used custom vbs scripts to search in commander but it seems the way to go here.

I would appreciate some help or big bump in right direction please.

Thanks Dalai for quick response.

Great plugin https://totalcmd.net/plugring/fileindir64.html and it works.

I did get HolgerK first solution <NoFolderJpg.vbs> and second solution <FolderList.vbs> to work in 32bit version.

The FileInDir is obviously much more convenient to use.

Thanks.

There is a very fast Everything way
ed:folder: !child:poster.jpg
This delivers all dirs starting from the current TC path
which do not contain a file poster.jpg
