Media Browser: Search for files?

So I've got a bunch of sound effects in different folders. Now I'm looking for a certain sound and it'd be great if I could search for it in Audition. Now I know there is a search bar, but I'd have to drag ALL the SFX in in order for it to work.  Is there a way to search for files in the media browser? Thanks.

Have you found a solution to this?  I'm wondering about this, too.

    what do i need from opening these files?

    Im have the exact same issue with the importing or P2 files and premere crashing/ hagingup, i on the other hand have been using adobe for over 4 years and never had this issue, i still have CS5 on comp and there are no problems there, kinda silly i cant use CS6 for work....
    so what did you exactly do to fix issue??
    also i know exactly what porblem u are running into with the aspect ratio problems, been an issue for as long as i have been working with adobe premere and HVX, and i can help u there, simply dont use DVCproHD sequence if you are going to DVD just do a DV widscreen sequence and all the ratio problems will fix when u go to encore. or use DVCproHD sequence but drop the entire sequence you worked on into a DV widscreen sequence or an HDV sequence and resize acordingly (make lager or smaler so fits properly in 16/9) the problem is some of the P2 cameras are not a true 16/9 there like 15/9 or somthing, its odd, anyway thats what i do, it doesnt really ad much time and it workes
    Dear adobe plp if you read this, then you know about problem importing, whatever he did dosnt seem like you should have to do that... any questions feel free to contact me.

  • Mac mini Server 10.6  unable to search for files on the server from desktop.

    I'm running Mac mini Server 10.6 with 15 various Apple Mac desktops 10.4 / 10.6. The problem i'm having is that i'm unable to search for files on the server from any of the desktops. I have fixed permissions and rebooted. I can perfomr a search though command - F and spotlight from the server.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    I have a Mac mini server with Mac osx 10.6.8 installed --- I have a website {UNDER CONSTRUCTION} installed on it with a REGISTERED DOMAIN NAME belizeansworldwide.com -->[DNS service w/GoDaddy]  & DSL INTERNET service  w/VERIZON --- {My server is the ONLY DEVICE CONNECTED to my VERIZON DSL router/modem}
    When I enter my DOMAIN NAME or WAN IP # in my browser(s)--> Chrome OR Safari -- i get my Verizon modem
    set-up page-->{this incl the WAN IP# as I expected}----{NORMALLY I WOULD ACCESS MY Actiontec
    modem/router via 192.168.1.1} --- While in that webpage there's an option "shared files/folders"   & clicking on that option DISPLAYS MY WEBSITE --->  {"PORT FORWARDING DID NOT RESOLVE THAT"}
    My next attempt @ a solution was through my Server's SystemPreference>Sharing>Internet Sharing

  • How can I: Search for files "not in catalog"

    Is there a way to search for files/photos on my hard drive that are *NOT* already in my catalog?
    (a) I can do a mass search to find all photos on my hard drive.
    (b) And there is a reconnect feature - for all entries in catalog with a missing/invalid link, look for the file that matches best.
    But I'd like to have Elements find photos that I have not added to the catalog.
    That is, do (a), but check each one to see if it is already added.
    Is there a way to do that?
    Thanks,
      -ceej

    What you want to achieve by finding those files?
    In folder view you can see the folder which have no media files in Organizer.
    If you import all the files form all the drives on your system, by deafult you will see files just imported into catalog. That means, just after import ou will have the files which were not in your catalog :-)
    I know my  answer could be confusing for you, but it will make sense if you know what happens after import in Organizer...

  • [CS5.5][Os X 10.7] Problem searching for file when placing a picture

    Hi,
    With this post, I would like to ask a question.
    In Indesign CS5.5 on Mac Os X, when placing a picture using the place option, there is in the top right corner a search field. When browsing to a certain network folder and trying to search for files whitin that folder, which have filenames containing a part of the search string, no files are found.
    For example: a folder containing 200 files with names starting with "sports baseball 001" up to "sports baseball 200". When searching for "baseball" no results are found.
    What I could find on the internet, are several discussions relating to huge problems with Spotlight on 10.7 and 10.8 and network drives.
    Does anyone know of any fix or plugin for Adobe Indesign that allows fast file search in a folder when placing a picture in a document?
    Whe have this issue with all our mac's running these versions of Os X and Adobe Indesign.
    Any feedback would be helpfull.
    John

    Good to hear that Adobe engineering is taking a look. However you might want to file a formal bug/feature report here: Wishform, to get it on record as a customer/user problem, and to perhaps attract additional requests from others who have the same problem.
    I'm not sure if the commercial Mac application Default Folder X would fix the problem. You might want to test their trial.

  • How do I exclude directories from Finder search results? I'm trying to find the biggest FILES on my computer and it keeps showing me "Macintosh HD" as the biggest, how can I search for files of type "NOT folder/directory"?

    Basically I've lost 10GB of free space over the last few weeks so my plan was to search for files modified in the last 2 weeks in order to figure out which ones are big and where that space went.
    So I open finder, go to "File > Find", and enter a search:
    Modified > In the last 2 weeks
    All fine so far.
    Problem is, it's showing whole directories as results. Which essentially means that when I order the list by size, Macintosh HD is at the top, followed by "Users", then "Applications", then one of my bigger movie files, then "Library", etc.
    How can I do a search which will ignore folders? I want individual files. Knowing that Macintosh HD is the biggest item on my computer and was modified in the last 2 weeks is utterly useless to me.
    Older versions of Finder in OS 9 had a feature where you could search for "files, whose type "IS NOT" folder", but OS X doesn't seem to have such a feature.
    Can anyone help?

    How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?
    OmniDiskSweeper is likely the easiest/best, and is now free...

  • How can I search for files with more than one keyword?

    I´ve created some keywords, and some files in my folder are tagged with two, three or more keywords.
    Is there a way to search for files using more than one keyword on the search field?
    Thanks!

    Use the Find command (menu Edit) and in criteria at the right side is a plus sign to add another criteria and set it to your custom wishes.
    make a choice in results and you should be OK

  • How can I search for files on multiple servers at one time?

    When I hit command+F, and use spotlight to search for files, I'm only given the opportunity to search for those files in three places: "This Mac", "Shared", and then the server or external HD that is mounted. However, in the past I was able to check a box for all mounted/connected servers/HDs, and then do a search in all of them at the same time. I CAN'T FIND THIS OPTION IN LEOPARD AND IT IS ANNOYING ME BIG TIME.
    Hopefully there is a simple solution that I've overlooked.
    Please help!

  • How to search for files using wildcards * and ?.

    Hi All,
    I've been searching the forum for a couple of hours now and have been unable to find a good example of how to search a directory (Windows OS) for a file using wildcards * and/or ?. Does anyone out there have a good example that they can share with me?
    Thanks

    Hi All,
    First of all I want to thank everyone for taking the time to respond to my question. All of your responses where greatly appreciated.
    I took the example code that was posted by rkconner, thanks rkconner, and modified it to allow me to search for files in a directory that contain * and/or ?. Yes, I said and/or! Meaning that you can use them both in the same file name, example: r??d*.t* would find readme.txt.
    I've posed my complete and thoroughly document code below. I hope it is very helpful to other as I have searched many forums and spent many hours today trying to resolve this problem.
    Enjoy
    * File Name: WildcardSearch.java
    * Date: Jan 9, 2004
    * This class will search all files in a directory using the
    * asterisk (*) and/or question mark (?) as wildcards which may be
    * used together in the same file name.  A File [] is returned containing
    * an array of all files found that match the wildcard specifications.
    * Command line example:
    * c:\>java WildcardSearch c:\windows s??t*.ini
    * New sWild: s.{1}.{1}t.*.ini
    * system.ini
    * Command line break down: Java Program = java WildcardSearch
    *                          Search Directory (arg[0]) = C:\Windows
    *                          Files To Search (arg[1]) = s??t*.ini
    * Note:  Some commands will not work from the command line for arg[1]
    *        such as *.*, however, this will work if you if it is passed
    *        within Java (hard coded)
    * @author kmportner
    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.FilenameFilter;
    public class WildcardSearch
         private static String sWild = "";
          * @param args - arg[0] = directory to search, arg[1] = wildcard name
         public static void main(String[] args)
              String sExtDir = args[0]; // directory to search
              sWild = args[1];   // wild card to use - example: s??t*.ini
              sWild = replaceWildcards(sWild);
              System.out.println("New sWild: " + sWild);
              File fileDir = new File(sExtDir);
              File[] arrFile = fileDir.listFiles(new FilenameFilter()
                   public boolean accept(File dir, String name)
                        return (name.toLowerCase().matches(sWild));

  • Searching for files (Photos) using Finder

    I hope someone can help me!!!
    I have just upgrade to iLife 06 from iLife 04. Previously when searching for files to open up in Adobe Photoshop I selected 'Pictures' within the finder menu and followed the dates until I found the correct file No. For some reason since installing iPhoto 06, everything is stored in Roll No's. Could someone please let me know how I can search the files within iPhoto, through Finder, to find the correct file by date - as in the date the photo was taken?
    Cheers

    Hi snurge,
    Everyone complained about how iPhoto stored it's images in iPhoto 5 so I guessed they changed it to the roll system.
    Open iPhoto and change the title of your rolls to something that is more relevant to what is in the roll.
    I have my rolls dated with a couple of words in the name, such as
    "1/24/06 Fire pit"
    Once you change the title of the roll in iPhoto, it will also change in the Finder.
    This should help you a lot.
    If you want the edited version of a photo, look for the roll in the Modified folder.
    If you want the Original version of a photo, look for the roll in the Originals folder.
    Also, set up PhotoShop in iPhoto 6 preferences to be your external editor.
    Preferences>General
    Edit Photo>scroll to last option and navigate to PS to choose it to open.
    Now you can control click on an image in iPhoto and scroll to any of the menu choices to edit your photo.
    You must however "save" the image with the same name and it must be flattened. The edit will then be reflected within iPhoto.

  • Re: Searching for files

    Van,
    Here is a simplem recursive directory search example you can use to find a
    file on your drive. If you know the subdirectory off the root, then you'd
    definitely want to specify it to limit the searching on the drive.
    It can be used on other systems as well, but you may want to modify it to
    use portable file names. This example is specific for Windows
    platforms....
    Give it a try and hope it helps out...

    I have this exact same problem, a solution would be good.
    EDIT: It looks as though this has just resolved itself for no reason. I've added a new source file and it's doing it again with stdint.h. I guess I just have to tolerate it until Eclipse decides to acknowledge the existence of the file (rebuilding etc with the index doesn't do anything).
    Not much help if waiting it out isn't working for the OP, he's been waiting a while...

  • Search for files by OS X tags in iOS

    Hi all.
    I started to add OS X tags for my documents in my Macbook these days and opening Numbers or Pages in iPad or iPhone today I found that we can't search for files by tags.
    Would it be possible ??
    Tks.
    OS X Yosemite, iOS 8

    I don't have that many old files to play with it, but you can use the Finder's "Find…" to do a raw query of Spotlight's metadata. In the search terms, add a *Raw Query* type with something like *kMDItemLastUsedDate < $time.this_year(-2)* - this example will search for items with a last used date less than year 2005. The time and query syntax is explained a bit in [this developer document|http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/SpotlightQu ery/Concepts/QueryFormat.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001849-CJBEJBHH].

  • HT4796 The PC side quits during the search for files to migrate. It starts with Documents then dies.

    I am trying to migrate Office Outlook info from a Windows 7 PC to a MacBook Air Mac OS X v10.7 Lion. The computers match, then the search for files commences and the PC side quits. No programs are open and the Windows auto update is off. I uninstalled and reinstalled the migration assistant program with the same result.

    That's nothing!
    An engineer and I contacted Adobe technical support by phone to ensure the PC I was having custom built was configured to its optimum. They advised XP64 as the best operating environment. After that discussion we had to completely revise procurement, etc to get the bits and compatible XP64 compatible software, putting the build project back a few weeks as well, Imagine how I laughed when I found out on one of these forums that XP64 is the worst choice and totally unsupported by CS4!
    I have written to Shantanu Narayen, Adobe CEO and didn't even get an acknowledgement I raised this last week on the Adobe stand at BVE and was told they'd get someone to contact me asap but guess what, niet...! To be fair there has been one Adobe executive that recognises the problem and the damage poor customer support is causing the company; he has been as helpful as he can. Unfortunately, it seems the overall Adobe culture at the top is "get the money and run". If your problem goes beyond what's already on their web pages, tough luck!

    When importing files, my view window to search for files is really small, how do I make it bigger so I can actually search for files?

    How big this is depends on the size of your screen. On a 13" it is really small. But you can improve things a bit. Click the green button to make the import window fill the screen.
    Drag the area between the file list and the preview area up or down to increase one or the other:
