General • Match rogue files to previous known paths.

Hi.

I was wondering if "everything" could help me out with a issue i have.

I have server with multiple project folders:

Project_A
Project_B
Project_C
ect...


This server died and alot of the files did not get backed up.
However, i do have autosave in the software i work in, who saves localy.
This local autosave folder is a mess ofcourse, as the file names dont contain the Project name in it. Usualy just shot1_xxxx, shot2_xxxx, characte_A_xxx, character_B_xxx, and so forth.

So here is the gig - Everything has scanned the server before it died, and it knows where eveything belongs.
So if i go innside the autosave folder, take one of the file names and search it will tell me where on the dead server it belongs and what project, by looking at the path.

I do however have 2500 files in the autosave folder. So i am wondering if i can tell eveything to scan my autosave folder, and some how cross refrence with the deadserver, so i can sort the autosave files by path. And then quickly select all the files related to one project and be able to salvage some.

Cheers!
