No problem, there's a later version that's beta on the forum here, (it's been out a year and has been stable here), which adds a few things, (eg. recent change filters, better Safe Removal support, etc).

If you enable the Shell context menu, then it will restrict itself to the chosen path including sub-directories without you having to type them in.

Is there any program that can take a file type and return a list of directories that contain files of that type?-JennyB (November 07, 2010, 07:33 PM)

Except for all the special programs already mentioned, I will like to remind you that Explorer does this per default. Just type .TheFiletype in Explorer's search box, when you are in a top directory, and the result will include all relevant files in every sub-folder in that directory. The speed of the result depends on whether you have indexing turned on or off.

I never thought to try that.  Here's a weirdy though. I typed in .txt in the Address Bar by mistake and it opened a tab in Chromium telling me it could not find the web site!!!  heh heh heh

When I used the search with .txt it found the text files though. :)

XYplorer 10.60 will come with a Flat View that can be filtered (wildcards patterns, Boolean logic, RegExp), level-indented, and sorted in a tree-like sort order. In other words, it comes with a directory tree filtered by file type. That's why I revived this old topic. :)
