Miscellaneous Criteria

Figure 24: The Miscellaneous Criteria Pane.

The Miscellaneous criteria pane contains a series of options that are useful for further customization of a search.

Item

Folder

When you choose one of these criteria, all the criteria related to files will be disabled.

Figure 25: Folders options.

Folder is empty Reports all the empty folders.
Exclude folders with custom icon if checked, Tidy Up will ignore all the folders with custom icons, which otherwise would be considered empty. A custom icon is an icon which has been modified by the user.
Include folders that contain only empty folders this option allows you to find all the folders that contain only empty folders; this way, you will be able to get rid of all the empty folders with less searches.
Folder is not empty Reports only the folders that are not empty.
Compare the content checking this criterion, Tidy Up will report all the duplicate folders that have the same content, regardless of the names of the contained items.
Kind

It’s useful to either exclude a specific item kind from the search, or to search for only one specific item kind. The item kinds are: alias, applications, folder, fonts, documents and audio.

Tag

It’s useful to either exclude items marked with the chosen label, or to just search for the items marked with the chosen label. The labels are those assigned in the Finder (i.e. Red, Orange, Yellow).

Permissions & ownership

Reports only the items that have the permissions and ownership chosen. If you are unsure of the returned items, using the you have the ownership option adds a safety margin.
