Find Empty Folders - The Movie!
Some time ago, I posted a blog article on how to find empty folders with FolderSizes.
Well, with the release of FolderSizes v4.5 there is a new way to accomplish a similar result, and it has the advantage of only showing empty folders (you needn't sort the folder view and / or alter the subfolder view depth to get an intuitive result).
So how can this be done with FolderSizes v4.5? The key is a series of search facility enhancements that provide superior support for folder objects. In particular, folder sizes are now always computed and displayed within search result output. This, combined with a new "directory" attribute flag, makes it very easy to search just for folders with an aggregate size of zero.
I've created a brief video tutorial that demonstrates this process. Please click here to view it.
