EVDirRanges : Min/max values in folders

@errante I wonder how this could be applied to path depth, as discussed here: PathDepth (Display depth in folder hierarchy) . Specifically, could EVDirRanges be used to quickly calculate the depth of the current folder relative to the drive (i.e., C:\) AND calculate that folder’s deepest file depth relative to that folder’s position in the path given its leverage of Everything?

For example, say one has a directory structured as C:\Users\Name\Documents\D-5\D-6\D-7\D-8\

  • A file in C:\Users\Name\Documents would be at path Depth = 4
  • A file named “New Document” is in C:\Users\Name\Documents\D-5\D-6\D-7\D-8\ would be at path Depth = 8

Imagine three columns:

  1. Current Depth: Shows depth of file or folder while in the given folder path
  2. Largest Depth: Shows depth of file in the largest depth of the file path
  3. File Depth: for file search results, shows depth of file in its folder path

While in C:\Users\Name\Documents:

  • Current Depth column would indicate 4
  • Largest Depth column would indicate 8

Searching for “New Document:

  • File Depth column would indicate 8

Interested in your thoughts here.
