Button for viewing only video files in the current folder / subfolders with user customizable view mode, file size filter, and folder options. You access the settings by right clicking on the button.
The following is default:
Flatview Mode: No Folders
File Size Filter: <30mb
Settings description:
Flatview mode: 1) No folders 2) With Folders 3) Off
Flatview mode views the current folder and all subfolders as if they were a single folder. Enabled with options 1 and 2. Disabled with option 3.
Shows all video files contained in subfolders but hides the folders themselves
Shows all video files contained in subfolders and shows the folders containing them
Only displays video files in the current folder
File Size Filter: User enters the desired value
The File Size Filter allows the user to filter out files based on size.
Uses the following format: [< or >][size in MB][mb]
examples:
<30mb will filter out all files less than 30MB
>2000mb will filter out all files larger than 2000MB
<0mb will disable the file size filter
Changed the way the button filters results from using file type groups to an explicit list of video file extensions. This is to prevent issues if the file type group doesn't exist or is modified by the end user
Streamlined options. The hide/show folder option is now included in the first program setting. Do note that there is no longer any option to hide folders if you are not using flatview.

evernessince Thanks for the script. but after I click on the button all my files, folders just vanished.
This is the flat view mode with the flat view button
I just check it out now. My Setting is already False but nothing changes. I also try the settings change in to true but it's not working for me.
after I click your button everything has vanished
For me the default file type group is called "Videos". Maybe they changed that at some point?
In any case I've updated the button to use a list of video file extensions programmed into the button itself so future name changes won't be an issue. The only downside is that if there's a new video file extension you want to add, you are going to have to do so manually.
There are some new script APIs for file type groups in 12.21.4 beta to help with this. For example, you can look up any of the standard group by their English names without Opus needing to be in English.
One more thing i get to know that your button changes columns too.
like for certain folder i have specifically set columns like Name.Size..Modified.Duration
but when i click on your video button it replaces my set columns like below.
Name Size Duration Modified Location (and also it adds this Location column )
I am fine with that too but can it be like Name Size Location Duration Modified ?
Probably because it's turning on Flat View. You can edit the Flat View format to change the columns it displays under Preferences / Folders / Folder Formats.
