Can you search for books that have attached data

This would be quite helpful - but I have not figured out a way to do this. Selecting books based on whether they have a data folder attached (which is a wonderful feature).

I use it to attach notes to books in my main library. And I have created a Music (Learning) Library where I attach music files or video files attached to a book - or even create a blank book for video lessons. Etc.

See ==>> has_extra_files

If you search for has_extra_files() in the Library Management sub-forum, you'll find several threads that answer your question.
