I happen to love the Stream API, but I usually need to look up the details. Add the word parallel() to the chain, and the whole thing is solved by multiple CPU cores as well

In Groovy, you can write stuff like this to check if a folder has pdf files:

currentFolder.children.stream().anyMatch(f -> f.name.toLowerCase().endsWith(".pdf"))...

More concise than my version, but mine was already pretty lean.

About ten minutes of coding and testing. It would have been quicker, but at this hour of the morning my eyes don't work very well, and sometimes can't tell the difference between a minus sign and an equals sign.

Actually, I don’t need counts. I just need to know if there are any in a folder, with a Boolean to indicate whether to recurse. Hell, even a hack like me can write that!

Unfortunate. It’s not aesthetically pleasing, but how about a new method, like countPDFs()?

Adding new categories is sadly a brittle endeavor: They are Enums, and once you've added a new one, loading such a project into an older jAlbum will break it.

I was thinking that since you mentioned Word and zip files as well as PDF there might be a requirement for more than just a PDF object category. Most 'other' file types might be oddball and not often used, at the moment, but an extensible object category...

Not sure I understand the use case for that. If you look at the list of jAlbum supported file types, once you get past images, videos, audios, web locations, and PDF's, it's a pretty motley collection - mostly things I've never encountered in a live...

Not sure if it is possible but if a skin's property file could define a list of 'other' categories that would be more flexible.
