Can I only search for specific file types?

Oftentimes I need to pickup just the InDesign file. I sort by type but there are word docs, images (lots of them!), web pages, etc. Is there a way to search in Client A's folder and all sub-folders for just InDesign files? Thx.

You can use the filter panel for this. Click on the triangle in front of
File Type (if it is not already open yet because it does so the moment there
are two or more different File types in the folder you pointed Bridge to)
Click on the File type you want to show and only those will appear in the
content window

Search For Specific File Type (eg .txt)

I know how how to find files in a folder using Java but how do you search for specific file types. I am looking only include files with the extension .txt in my search.

Cheers. I already looked at that. Got a program that parses a XML and had a play about with it. Can print the contents of tags in my XML. Its just that im trying to parse my XML and have the contents of the starts_with tag to appear in startsWith(or a variable to which this has been assigned) and the contents of the extension tag to appear in endsWith. Totally clueless on how to go about it.
Below is my class. Would be greatful if you have any ideas.
import java.io.File;
public class FindLatestFile {
             public static File getLatest(File thisDir){
                     long latestModDate = -1;
                     File latestFile = null;
                     File[] fileList = thisDir.listFiles();
                     for(int i=0; i < fileList.length; i++){
                         File file = fileList;
     if (file.lastModified() > latestModDate & (file.getName().startsWith("A") & file.getName().endsWith(".txt"))) {
     latestModDate = file.lastModified();
     latestFile = file;
                         return latestFile;

Spotlight: How to search for specific file types?

Hi. I'm looking for bookmarks that may contain a particular word. Is there a way to filter my spotlight (or finder) searches just for a particular file type? I know you can sort results by file type, but it's rather just filter in the first place...

Command F should do it. Once the search window appears, you should see a drop down box headed kind and next to it one headed any. Select PDF from the any one. Click the plus button, and another field will appear and you can see again more drop down boxes. You just want to set these up so you end up with name and contains, you can then add your text to the remaining field.

How to SEARCH for specific file TYPES, e.g. PDF?

If I know the title has in it "resume" and I know it's a PDF, how do you search for all PDF files that have the word "resume" in the title?
AND..
How would you search all PDF files that had the word "supervisor" inside the document?
Thanks

Searching for specific file extensions etc?

Is there a way to search for just, say: .jpegs or even 'Folder'?
An 'advanced' search if you will?
I know I can search and get all 'kinds'; .jpegs, folders, mail messages, .doc and then click on Kind and get them grouped.
BUT, can I just search for .jpegs etc on my computer??
Thank you!!

Create a Smart Folder.
In the Finder, do +File > New Smart Folder+
In the grey area at the top of the Smart Folder window, click +This Mac,+ and Filename (on the left) and then the "+" sign on the right
In the new row that opens, click the dropdown box on the left and select +File Extension.+
Enter .jpg in the box after the word "is"
You will get a listing of all the .jpg files on your Mac
If you want to save the Smart Folder for ongoing use, click the Save button in the upper right corner, give your folder a name & location, then click Save

Pre-Configure QT 7 Installation for only specific file types

Is there an 'ini' or similar configuration file or command line option set I can use to pre-configure QT7 to only associate with specific file types?
I want to leave the associations for Media Player intact and have QT handle only MOV and other Apple-specific file types.

Basic answer. No.
You set file associations after the install of QuickTime.
Most of it's adjustments and options are found in its Control Panel. Here you can set associations for MIME types that control the browser plug-in.
Each user can set their own values.

How to setup a routing rule for a specific file type for the content organizer?

Hello,
how can I set a routing rule for a specific file type, for example for "pdf" or for "docx", for my content organizer?
As standard I can only choose for the rules the content type, name and title of the file uploaded.
Thank you in advance!
JohnyG

Hi Johny,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to create a routing rule for a specific file type.
I recommend to create rules with the conditions as the image below shows for the Document content type(for example: .docx files):
Best regards.
Thanks

I backup to an external hdd with Time Machine, when it ran out of space it did not delete old backups, now my internal hdd says its full when before it had heaps of space. I have searched for extra files but cant find any. Can anyone help, please.

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Can't search for specific tag - Dreamweaver 8

All of a sudden, I can no longer search for a specific tag in
Dreamweaver 8 (Mac OS 10.4.6). It was working fine and I had just
run a sitewide search, then boom! The attribute plus (+) and
minus(-) signs appear over the text "Search:" right next to the
dropdown box that says Specific Tag. It only happens in the tag
search option.
Clicking on the plus or minus does nothing, and when I try to
run the search, I receive the error that one of my attribute fields
is empty.
I've tried a reinstall and restart, but that did nothing.
Please help!! I NEED this function! Thanks.

Shutdown DW and manually delete the Preferences file.
I can't remember where to find the file on the Mac, so
hopefully one of
our Mac gurus can chime in here!
Thanks,
Randy

How Can I Search for Media files by Length?

I want know how can I search for media files (mov, mp4, flv and movie files in general) by their length?
If this search function is confirmed as definitely not possible on the OS, I would appreciate someone recommending app that might be able to perform such a search?
Many thanks

No possible way. Because the files may be enoded with differing codecs, compression, etc., you can only sort by file size, not the 'length' of the movie files.

2012 Deduplicated volumes - hydrate only specific file types

I have a file server with roughly 4 TB of data. We have found that turning on 2012 Dedupe feature is causing corruption with Access databases. Databases worked fine for a week or better before we turned on Dedupe. Everything else appears to work fine.
I know I can exclude specific file types (ie. AACDB, MDB, etc). Simply excluding them won't re-hydrate the currently deduped database files correct?
Is there a version of the start-dedupjob -type unoptimization where I can specify a file type so that I can just hydrate specific files?

The corruption didn't start until after I migrated these file shares over to the 2012 server and enabled dedupe
After we first noticed the problem, we moved just the databases back to a 2008 file server and didn't have any more problems. Due to some other issues with backups, I moved all the data on the 2012 server to another drive on the same server and left
dedupe turned off.
I had to wait for about a week before turning dedupe on for the new hard drive. During that time my users were able to work in a database that didn't get moved to the 2008 server. A couple of days after I deduped the drive they are getting corruption
issues again.
2012r2 file server
Win 7 clients w/ Office 2010
Deduplication is implemented as a filter driver over NTFS. So I can bet you have some backup application installed (SQL Server specific?) and it has own filter drivers conflicting with MS dedupe. What apps do you run on that box except SQL Server (obvious)?

SQL query/report for "count of specific file type"?

I figured this would be a good first post, as I have found every question I have had to date by browsing the forums, but I am stumped with this one. I recently expressed some concern to HR regarding the use of...lets call it "unauthorized content"
on our network. Getting little to no response, I would like to produce a report containing a total count based on specific file type. For example, how many .mp3 files are stored on company equipment, how many torrent files (sadly, this is true), etc.
Having very basic knowledge of SQL, I am puzzled where to start. I am currently using SCCM SP3 and SQL 2008 R2 with both basic reporting and SSRS enabled on the site.

You'll first need to inventory those file types then here's some reports for you.
Get the pstreports from my skydrive, import them and you can cange the file type to mp3 or whatever you need. I monitor mp3 files too.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
