List Files for a folder related search

Post by sk2107 »

Hello,

I use this search to filter the folders that have only one file (childfilecount:1), this search will list the folder names, so can I list the files in those folders?


Thank You

Include the following in your search:

file: sibling-file-count:0

sibling-file-count:



-or-



Perform your childfilecount:1 search
Select all results (Ctrl + A)
Copy the filenames (Ctrl + Shift + C)

Change the search to:

file: parentfilelist1:

Right click the parentfilelist1: text in the search box and click Edit File List Slot...
Paste your filenames and click OK.
