jv16 PowerTools 2008 - Directory Finder

The Directory Finder allows you to locate directories of certain types, for example empty directories.

The Directory Finder supports a wide array of different search options. Here's a brief summary of all the search options you can use.

Search by search word

You can search with a search word, wildcards are also supported.

Search by size

You can find directories that contain a certain amount of data, or whose content size fits to a given range. For example, you can search for directories which contain over, less, exactly, about or anything about 10 MB (say), or directories which contain more than 100 KB but less than 1 MB of data.

Search by contents

You can search for directories which contain a certain number of files and/or sub-directories, such as directories which contain at least 10 files and 2 sub-directories, or directories which contain at least 1 file but no more than 200 files. Or, you can find directories which contain only files that are over, less, exactly, about or anything about 10 MB (say).

Search by date

You can also search for directories which have been created, last modified or last accessed during a defined time, such as within the last 10 year, months, days, hours or minutes, or before or after a specific date.

Remember that you can freely combine these different search methods. For example, you can search with a search word "temp*" for all directories that contain at least 1 files and which haven't been used within the last 7 days.
