Oh yes I forget about that option,thanks.

Is there is a way to automatically add quotes to a path if the path contains spaces
Or maybe add quotes if you hold a key while clicking on the "Copy full name to clipboard"

Its also much simpler to just type into the toolbar and get the results compared to first starting Everything GUI.

You click on a toolbar to start typing
You click on a tray icon or a shortcut to start typing(when everything automatically focus the search bar)

vsub

No problem I just don't see what so special about it(no offense to anyone who like it) Clicking on a search bar(that takes space from the taskbar)to bring a window vs clicking on the tray icon(or the taskbar shortcut)to bring the everything window Btw,everything have an option to close the window on...

Maybe you can try this

Are you indexing content or searching for content? Are you indexing or displaying any properties (for example: Length, Width)? I was indexing the phone(sd card and internal storage by adding a virtual folder) It takes a lot of time to create a database of the sd card and since it was my first time ...

1.If I try to File=>Exit everything while it is scanning,the process stays in the task manager and I cannot run another instance(probably until it is done scanning or I kill the process) 2.runcount:=0 displays nothing in 1.5 while in 1.4 it displays all files I have not run yet(I am using all of my ...

If you would like to test virtual folder indexing, please try the Everything 1.5 alpha . Virtual Folder Indexing It does work but it is slow(maybe my sd card is slow) Internal storage - took maybe little more than a minute to display 21k objects SD Card(SanDisk) - it took around 5 minutes to displa...

You can already enable Thumbnails under the View menu. Also you can already enable Preview. So whats your request not yet possible ? Show images\videos thumbnails while viewing file lists It is not possible to view the thumbnails while viewing filelists(efu files) Clicking on every single files jus...

Tools=>Options=>General=>UI=>Select search on mouse click :o Good one! (although that didn't work on my system; had to click in the result list first and then on the search bar. Simple clicking in the search bar was not enough (here)). Well that's what I meant by "when the search filed is not activ...

vsub

I don't have top 5,just one
Show images\videos thumbnails while viewing file lists

And not really related to Everything but his other program "ImageViewer"...support to open file lists(right now I have to open the file list in Everything and drag-drop the files into the viewer)

vsub

Or
Tools=>Options=>General=>UI=>Select search on mouse click
This way when you click on the search field(when the search filed is not active)it will select all text which will be replaced when you start typing
Or
Triple clicking also selects all

vsub

I really wish the program could load everything file lists I know that I can specify a search string and it will display the result as if I am using everything and then drop the files over the program but sometimes you cannot do that if your filelist contains something specific that you cannot searc...

When I want to update everything I do this 1.I have bat file in the Everything folder containing this net stop Everything pause net start Everything and I run it as admin 2.When I see that the service is stopped,I replace the Everything.exe and then hit enter in the cmd window and then run everything

vsub

No,that part is only preview like in explorer

vsub

Please do not use database compression. The compression is minimal and the extra CPU usage is expensive. It is only useful if your drive is extremely slow (< 1MBps) and you have plenty of CPU usage available. I will consider LZ4, thank you for the suggestion. Isn't the database loaded from the hdd\...

vsub

Hmm,I didn't know about this
Is a menu not added or I just don't see it...is it accessible only by hotkey(Everything Search)?

And yes,build a filelist with everything(or something else)and then open it

vsub

Or something that contains paths to files

vsub

Are you copying the folder that contains those files or you select all of the files and try to copy them I just tried coping a folder that have 11k file of 250kb or smaller and after 3 seconds scanning,windows started copying the files from a slow 5400rpm hdd to a ram drive It is normal to freeze fo...

vsub

The program is started 3 days and 6 hours ago
Total network usage 0bytes received,0bytes sended

This will probably give you an idea how much data everything is sending to who knows where

vsub

Create a .bat file and save it into the Everything folder

Code: Select all

net stop Everything
pause
net start Everything

Exit Everything and run the bat file as admin and press any key after you replace the exe

vsub

If you are not viewing images in thumbnails mode in Everything then the problem is either corrupted database(try rebuilding it but it will probably take a while since you have a lot of files)or simply because you have way too many files and in the Indexes option if you select anything other that the...

vsub

Because everything is creates a preview of the image file or read the already created thumbnail and store in in ram Also the database is loaded into ram when you start the program and kept there until to close Everything(then it is written to the hdd) Explorer also act the same way Open some huge fo...

vsub

That's probably depends on how many files you have and what info you have indexed
Mine is at 130mb right now with 1 million files
If you are viewing a lot of images\videos in thumbnails mode,the usage will skyrocket but that's the same behavior as viewing them in explorer

vsub

The question is,how does google chrome saves them To a single file per bookmark with a specific name or all to a single file that act as a database I don't know about chrome but firefox have a single file that act as a database and when that's the case,everything will not find them and that's normal...

vsub

Well,just make it not start along with windows and run it manually There is some options that you can disable to increase the loading but you will have to rebuild the database manually But something may be wrong on your pc I have been using everything before on Pentium 4 before with 1gb ram and it w...

vsub

It is scanning for changes,it doesn't indexing everything from scratch
A single windows restart does a lot of changes to a lot of files so everything is updating the database

But if you are saying that it takes long time if you just sign out=>log in,then something may be wrong

vsub

You can set a delay before starting to scan the hdds(which is what I do) Make everything to not auto start from the settings and then create a shortcut to it in C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and add this command line to the shortcut -startup -load-delay ...

Q-Dir also can't open such long paths but XYPlorer for example can This is the free version https://www.xyplorer.com/free.php There is paid version with 30 days trial to try it and while the free version have A LOT of features,the paid version have even more https://www.xyplorer.com/product.php#feat...

vsub

I think the "hide on close" option will interfere with that if the result is sended to another window with temporary database

vsub

Why do you need that,what exactly you don't like about it I am using an addon called QTTabBar that adds tabs to the explorer and many other features If you want separate program Q-Dir is nice and it's free(it's closely imitates the explorer view but adds panes and tabs and many other features) XYPlo...

vsub

1.That's just a personal preference I prefer a program to store all of its data in the program folder and not write to some outside folder or in the registry I can just copy the program folder to another pc and all of my settings will be the same(I only need to rebuild the database) 2.Everything sea...

vsub

1.It can,there is an option for that in the settings if you decide to use the portable version(which will not make it portable anymore because to have that menu,you have to write to the registry and anything writing to the registry is not a portable program) And you can search the same way even bett...

Seems to be working,thanks

And btw,what exactly "childdm" will do?

vsub

For example I have a folder with many folders and sub folders If I made a change to some sub folder is it possible to display somehow that there is a change in some subfolder but display the main folder For example 1.D:\folder\folder1\folder2 2.D:\folder5\folder1\folder2 3.D:\folder2\folder1\folder2...

I really hate those kind of people
Don't they have anything better to do than making the life on normal people more difficult than it is now

By using the "Folders" option in indexes
If you connect a drive and add it my using "Folders",what will happen if you connect another drive and it just happens that it is assigned to the same drive letter

vsub

Paste this in the search bar and hit enter
/preview_release_handler_on_clear=1
I don't remember if restart was needed after that

I had the same problem before

@vsub: I just realized that creating a screen capture might be a lot of work.

vsub

Everything shows just a static image,the same way as if you try to preview a gif in the preview pane in explorer I didn't like that so I made an autohotkey script that places a window EXACTLY where the preview appear and at exactly the same size(it's so perfectly over it that it can make you think e...

Stupid question...does this mean I can run everything on my android phone(Android 9 Pie)?

I think it's all there but not in an click=>done method.
You have to type the commands

Help=>Search Syntax=>
Date Syntax:
Date Constants:

vsub

Works fine here "demux avi" and "avi demux"(the correct name) shows the same folder
If you enable Search=>Match Path,you will get more results

vsub

Umm,what's that on the left side "Date Created" and "Date Modified"
This is how you search by date...or do you mean something else

vsub

If you mean the everything service,that service as far as i know just allows everything to read ntfs file systems without admin privileges,it doesn't actually scan the hdd If you mean the program itself,then there is probably a problem. And no,there is no problem for everything to be started along w...

It doesn't always happen but it did happen in here You don't need any indexing,you can just create a file list and delete a file from there Right clicking on it after that don't show you any menus to copy the file but you can still copy it with Ctrl+C or Edit=>Copy When you try to paste the file,eit...
