Show one file name in each directory

Post by harryray2 »

I have several directories containing several similar file names but with, for example, different version numbers.

eg:
example-file 1.5.7z
example-file 1.5.exe
example-file 1.6.exe

If I do a search for example-file, all the files will show up in all the directories and it can get a bit cluttered and occasionally confusing.

Is there a search command in Everything that will just show one file name without the differences..ie: example-file so that instead of having every single file show up it will just show one file in each directory?

Hope that makes some kind of sense.

Please try the following search:

example-file sort:path distinct:


distinct: will remove any duplicated results based on the current sort.
sort:path will set the sort order to path ascending.
This search will only show one result for each path.
