Windows 10: Search for multiple images at once in a file folder / picture repository in windows 10...

Issue: Need to search for multiple images at once in a file folder / picture repository in windows 10 consisting of thousands of images.



Image Repository Definition: Standard windows file located in my documents where thousands of images are stored, each image has a part number associated with it, the image repository supports our Kanban system and will support a future ERP system.



We have a Kanban card system in place that utilizes an image of the component or product as part of the Kanban card, the image repository that supports the Kanban system has over 6000 images and is growing.As previously stated each image in the image repository has a part number associated with it, our Kanban card application looks for the image with a corresponding part number and uses it to populate the Kanban card.





Goal:

I would like o be able to search for multiple images at once in the image repository through a list, which I will refer to as a control list,the list could have hundreds of part numbers...for a specific Kanban program.



Reason:

At times I need to review all the images associate wit a specific Kanban program and update them, I would like to use a simple list on notepad to pull all the images out of the Image repository so that I can update, deploy separately or delete.

• Can this be done in windows 10?
• Is there a aftermarket utility that can do this?

If it can be done in Windows I will need concise steps on how to do this…



Thanks to anybody that can help

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

 

Windows 10 file explorer: Is it possible to do a search selecting multiple folders?

Hi,

The problem is to do one
search (i.e. one
filename) on multiple folders.

For example, if I connect:

• Pendrive 1 with a folder "images" (e:\images\)
• Pendrive 2 with a folder "photos" (f:\photos\)

And then I want to do one
search for files like *home* in both folders.

Is it possible to do this in file explorer (windows 10)?

Thanks!

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
