Search for exact size

Post by CVic » 2003-10-29 15:02

This is a simple feature I would like to see.
Let users search for a file with an exact size.
Today it's only possible to search for a file that is AT LEAST or AT MOST a given size.

If you have read the link you were given, you would see that is not so simple to implement, and first needs consideration on how it would be best achieved.
Unless you know different. :wink:
Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

How difficult is that?
But of course, I could be wrong. If so, I really would love to here from the programmer himself...
