Title: Help with View Scheme . . . want to show only 'online' files
Post by: AoXoMoXoA on July 03, 2013, 09:44:27 am

Is there a way to set up a View Scheme which will show only available files, and not show those on drives which are presently unavailable or off-line?

This would really help me out if it can be done.
Thanks in advance

IsMissing() (http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Media_Center_expression_language#IsMissing.28....29:_Tests_to_see_if_a_file_exists_on_the_system) is what you want.

There's an example search rule there.  Just invert the test, and add it to Set rules for file display.

Looks to be working pretty well, although MC is now very sluggish.

Yes, it has to check the actual file system.  Use it only in a maintenance view.

Use the Image (small thumbnail) column in a file list instead to show files that are missing (the small x icon where the thumbnail would be).
