Is there a column showing the amount of items contained in a folder?

[void]

Child Count
-or-
Descendant Count (includes subfolders)

[Biff]

Many thanks!

So when in the column "Descendant Count" the value is "0" the folder is ALWAYS absolutely empty?

So is this correct?

child-count;descendant-count;

Code: Select all

!A: !B: !D: !E: !F: !G: !H: !K: !L: !M: !N: !O: !P: !Q: !R: !S: !T: !U: !V: !W: !X: !Y: !Z: column1:=size: columns:name;child-count;descendant-count;extension;size;date-created;date-modified;path;date-accessed;type;date-indexed;volume-label;full-path-length;column1;length;full-path

[void]

descendantcount:0 will match empty folders in your index.

If you are not excluding any files/folders then the folder should also be empty on disk.

Use right-click -> Properties (Alt + Enter) to double check.

empty: will also match empty folders.

So is this correct?

child-count;descendant-count;

Yes.
I recommend only showing the descendant-count column when needed as gathering this information is expensive.

Use right-click -> Properties (Alt + Enter) to double check.

For online drives only?

descendantcount:0 will match empty folders in your index.

So escendantcount:0 or empty: entered in the search field show every really empty folder in the index and for online drives? There is no difference between what they are showing.

I recommend only showing the descendant-count column when needed as gathering this information is expensive.

In what way? It seems as if the values are available / shown immediately (for offline drives as well). Is there any indexing needed (to show the information for offline drives)? So gathering child-count information is not expensive?

Yes, online drives only.

Yes, online and offline folders are included in the count.
The descendant count is calculated from your index. Not from disk.

There is no difference between what they are showing.

The following are exact the same:

descendantcount:0
empty:

In what way?

The information is gathered from your index. Not from disk.
Everything has to find and count all descendant folders and files.
It can take some time to find all the descendant folders and files.
Especially for root folders.

It seems as if the values are available / shown immediately (for offline drives as well). Is there any indexing needed (to show the information for offline drives)?

There's no option to index this information as it is already indexed.

So gathering child-count information is not expensive?

Calculating child-count: is instant.

OK, I understand, thank you very much!

By the way, is there a field suitable / an option (somewhere in the Bookmarks / Filters windows or else) to make some notices.

[void]

Aside from the name, no.

It's possible to add a comment to your search with nop:

For example:
nop:"my bookmark note"

nop:

[Biff]

OK, many thanks!

[Biff]

In the search field?


So everything behind nop: does not have any effect. Does one have to use quotation marks behind nop:?

[void]

Yes, in the search field.

Use double quotes to escape any spaces.

nop: will do nothing.
nop: will not have any effect on your results.

[Biff]

OK, so everything without quotation marks, I guess (like in my example in the screenshot). Sorry, then what does that mean:

Use double quotes to escape any spaces.

[void]

Please use double quotes after nop:

For example:
nop:"my bookmark note"

[Biff]

Ah, okey, sorry for my confusion. Thank you.
