I find that TC with the anytag content plugin treats the "duration in seconds" as a string rather than a number. If I need to show all tracks with a duration of say less than or greater than a particular length, I can't do it easily. If it was a number I could see the \< and \> options. Is there a way around this?

thanks

Maybe ...  
See file " **...\TotalCmd\Plugins\wdx\_anytag\anytag.any**".  
Find entry "**13=8|Length (in seconds)|%\_length\_seconds%**"  
Change this entry to:  
"**13=1|Length (in seconds)|%\_length\_seconds%**"

No guarantee, try it on your own risk.

THANKS!!!!! 😃😃

(Florian it would be worth adding this info to the Readme.txt of the plugin)

Hmmm... ☹ I found this solution too, but after half hour trying myself - I couldn't find this topic before; and TC's page doesn't has info about it, too.

Yes, suggestion to Florian: please include this info into **anytags ReadMe.txt**.

_Keywords for others: Total Commander, anytag, find files: plugin, compare operations, larger, smaller, equal, treat as number._
