Title: Broken links
Post by: Luigi1943 on June 30, 2007, 04:24:46 am

I've searched for a way to list files with broken links, but couldn't find a smartlist or search parameters for this task.
It's probably a very dumb question.... but please help me!!!
I don't want to fix broken links, I would only see which ones are present.
Thanks
Luigi

This search should do what you ask:

[=IsMissing([Filename])]=1

I have created a smartlist with this rule so it is always easily available.
Be aware that the search can be slow if you have a big library.

Thanks, Alex, it works perfectly! Since the rule is not very "intuitive" and such a smartlist is very useful, I think it would be worthwhile to include it in the standard smartlists. I've segmented the search in the various segments (Classical, Pop, Jazz) of my large library to shorten the time, but the response time is quite acceptable.
Thanks again
Luigi
