Title: An easy way to identify "missing" files?
Post by: sirshambling on February 07, 2011, 05:19:24 pm

I know you can tell the missing files by the yellow icon but is there any way to sort files so that all the missing ones are on top? Or to set up a smartlist that will identify them?

Going through a large library to find them takes hours.

TIA. John.

create a smartlist and in the rules add the following

Filename is []

Or make this smartlist (it'll be slow, because it checks each link on disk):
[=IsMissing()]=[1]

Be careful because some things like a DVD can show up as missing, because by design they use special filenames that aren't on the file system.
