Is it possible to get only x number of files per subfolder?

[ftgp]

I'm working on some files organize in a path F/folder. Inside I have like thousands of folders with hundred of files each

Can I search to return like 1, or 5 files per subfolder?

I can think of an easy way to display only 1 file per subfolder, but you would need to install the experimental Everything v1.5 alpha.

In version 1.5, use the search terms...

file: distinct:path

This will only show one item from each unique path.
This can also be achieved by right-clicking the Path column header, then right-clicking the Find Path Duplicates menu item, then left-clicking the option Find Unique (Including First Duplicate).

Just used

Code: Select all

distinct:path

and the same issue happens

For like 10 folders, everything always return the first file "sorted by name"

If necessary I can make a post specific for this other bug

This is by design.

Only the first name sorted result from each folder is shown.
