Any other way to sort by width?

[astroman]

Hi. Since updating to 1.90.2, I can't get sort by width to work. The old release worked fine. I've reported it as a bug, but meantime I have an urgent need to select out from a large folder (5000 + images) all images with a pixel width less than nnn px.

Does anyone know of any other convenient way to do this?

Thanks

As long as the shell media handler is registered, explorer can read basic information on most images. You can right click on the top columns of the explorer file pane, in details view, and add "Dimensions". Now clicking on that pane will sort by width (even though it's called dimensions, it never sorts by height).

By default it the handler should be available, if not run "regsvr32 shmedia.dll" to get it back. Now, this can sometimes cause problems with badly behaved video codecs, causing instability, hangs, or crashes, so once you're done you might want to unregister it again: "regsvr32 -u shmedia.dll"

What is the problem with 'sort by width'?

Thanks for that suggestion. If I can't get the Sort function to work, this gives me a way out for the immediate requirement.
