"File Compare" invertido

[ccmancio]

Como faço para listar no "File Compare" todos os diretórios que "NÃO" contenham arquivos com "xyz"(por exemplo) no nome do arquivo(ou extensão) no diretório.

[Lutz]

Just put .../*xyz* in Session Settings/Name Filters-tab/Exclude Folders-section
or
-.../*n*\ into the File Filters-toolbar/Filters-combo box.

PS: Are you in Portugal or in Brazil (just for time differences)?

Não funcionou sua resposta

Tenho uma pasta (Pasta1) com os arquivos (Arq1.txt e Arq2.txt)
Tenho uma segunda pasta (Pasta2) com o arquivo Arq2.txt

Desejo que o "Folder Compare" mostre todas as pastas que não contenham "Arq1" no nome do arquivo
O resultado deveria aparecer somente a Pasta2 na "Folder compare"

Mas esta aparecendo as duas pastas e todos os arquivos

Sou do Brasil.

Sometimes it's useful to use a translation service. I haven't thought that arquivos are files. So sorry for my wrong advice.

It is not possible (yet) with BC3 to exclude folders by the presence of specific files.

But I played around with this and got a workaround:


My task: to find mp3-albums without album art (jpg)
display filters Show All & Only Compare Files
load music-folder only
expand all
File Filter *.jpg
select all (folders and files)
Exclude
open Session Settings/Name Filters tab
clear Exclude files list
copy Exclude folders list (312 lines here) to an editor (Tools/Edit Text File)
remove all parent folders of album folders (genre/abc/album artist here)
copy the new list back to Exclude Folders

Thanks for the workaround, Lutz. This is what I would recommend as well. Use filters to show the files and folders you want to hide, then Exclude them in the session settings.

When you refresh the session, you will see all of your content again, minus your Excluded items.

Definindo até "clear Exclude files list" e depois retirando o "filtro de arquivos" eu consigo obter a relacao de pastas que eu quero, isto é, as pastas que não contenham determinado arquivo

Só que, cada vez que quizer fazer o levantamento novamente, tenho que repetir todo o processo.

Espero que BC3 consiga criar esta nova função logo.

Obrigado !!!

Thanks for the suggestion, ccmancio. I'll add it to our Customer Wishlist.

Workaround B (less steps and less done by hand)


My task: to find mp3-albums without album art (jpg)
display filters Show All & Only Compare Files
load music-folder only
expand all
File Filter *.jpg
select all files
exclude (only in this folder checked)
move Exclude files list to the editor (Tools/Edit Text File)
replace filenames by nothing (RegEx "\\[^\\]+.jpg" -> "")
move the new list back to Exclude Folders
