I have just started using Opus and am unfamiliar with the product. Let me describe my situation.. I have a main folder(X) with 1,791 direct subfolders(Y). Within those subfolders I have 6,217 folders containing 53,115 files. My goal is to get a breakdown of the newest file within each Y folder, regardless of which subfolder it is contained in. This is so that I can see what Y folders have not had any new files placed in them (or modified) since a certain date (in years). I only care about the newest file creation or modification date.
Is there a way to easily do this? My hope is that I can simply display each Y folder with a date next to it, which would be the date of the newest file creation or modification within that folder.
While Flat View could help, if there are a lot of files in the folders then you would have to scroll through a lot of information to see the bits you wanted.
We'll have a better way to do this in the next beta. We've written an example Script Column that calculates the newest file below each folder (either directly below, or recursively). The script depends on some new features we've added for the next beta. (You can do something similar in the current beta as well, but it wouldn't work as well.)
However, I got no answer so far and honestly fater browsing the forum, I just felt to start again upon this topic with a scripted column and assigning a label or colorize one of those columns.
