Filter on files not found?
« on: May 18, 2004, 12:51:43 pm »
Hello.

You know how Media Center shows a different icon next to files that exist in the database but have been erased from disk?

Well, how can I make a query string to find all such orphaned database entries?  I need to do some library clean-up.

Thanks,
Soundman

You can't search for that because of speed constraints.

Use File > Library > Update Library to remove orphans.

Thanks for the reply.  Unfortunately, I don't want to just remove the orphans.  In most cases, I have the files, but they must be on a different machine or a different folder, and I need to look for them.  Sure wish I could get a list of orphans, even if it is slow.  O well. I could write a Perl script to do it, I guess.
