I have no solution for you at the moment - here Everything 1.5 is even faster than 1.4 - but someone else might. How do you exclude these folders? - By excluding them on the search bar (i.e. ext:doc !c:\windows) - By excluding them through a Filter (Menu:Search > Organize Filters) - Through Temporar...

That is less cool ... First guess: you sorted by something (like Size) that is not in the Everything database, which causes Everything to inspect every single file individually. Make sure that property is included in the database. For example, Size: Go to Menu:Tools > Options > Indexes Check Index f...

Good news, @skribb!

Recently - 4 weeks ago - the alpha version of Everything 1.5 was released.
In this 1.5 version you can mix folders and files!

If you want to test it (or simply use it; it is quite stable already): start here.

More info on new sorting possibilities here

I mainly use it because it can preview files in dark mode, including highlighting found serarch terms. But it is definitely much more than that. 415 stars is a lot for such a tool, I worked 20 years on staxrip to get 640 stars. Will depend on target audience I guess. A search tool is probably more m...

dnGrep. In their own words: a great Windows search utility that allows you to search across text files, Word and Excel documents, PDFs, and archives using text, regular expression, XPath, and phonetic queries. It can also replace text in those files. And a couple of other useful features. It can us...

it uses fzf for the selection

No need for external libraries. Try this:

Code: Select all

function cdf {
  param($dir)
  CD ( iex "es folder:$dir count:20 -sort runcount" | ogv -OutputMode Single)
}

@void can probably explain this much better, but I will take a shot ... Everything 1.4 could miss some hardlink updates as described above. Everything 1.5 (currently available as alpha version) *does* track hard links. Soft-links (symbolic links) is a different story Roughly speaking they are shortc...

You might be interested in the Everything Server , Kelly. I'm so glad that you've started work on this again. That started years ago! Thx. It's for personal use, don't think I need the server version. I've been using the http server functionality, but turned it off due to security concerns (?)... L...

I think a Home button will be more useful than the x button ("clean the search"). Took me a while to find it again, but you can remove the X from the search bar, Type the following in the search bar and press ENTER: /search_close_button=0 (open a new Everything window to see the effect. Or restart ...

I use CTRL+\ for that. They are next to each other in the left corner of my notebook keyboard. That also resets all Match .. settings and filters, etc to what I configured under Options > Home. It is an extra keyboard shortcut for Menu:History > Home, next to the less convenient ALT+HOME. If you hav...

If you didn't configure port forwarding in your router to this system/port combination, your http server should not be reachable from "outside"

Where do you highlight this text? In Notepad? In your browser? In Everything?

Now I think of it, this should be written as:

dm:10m..5m

. From low to high: 10 minutes ago (17:47) to 5 minutes ago (17:52)
For the record: that gives the same results as

dm:5m..10m

Don't clutter the Everything interface with buttons! Especially if they are for exceptional situations as described above. 1. There is a complex search that is not real-time. Press F5 ... And I agree with horst.epp: don't use it for re-indexing. Menu:Index > Rescan will take care of that if needed. ...

Everything 1.5 is 500,000+ lines of code.

They say a good developer writes 100 lines of code a day.
At least tell me that your 500K includes comments and empty lines ...

I'm at 4 lines a day ...

OK, I see (adn even tried it). In that case there is no use adding the database version.
(and in the process I learned how to get the database version out of a everything.db, so I'm good

)

The idea came from opening older databases (everything.exe -db backup.db -readonly) where you might want to know what version was used at that time.

But you are right: not really useful information for the end user. I doubt if I was ever going to need this.

Is it useful to add the database version to the Statistics?

It would be easier to query something like all files modified between 5 to 10 minutes ago like so:
dm:>5min dm:<10min

Does this work for you?

Code: Select all

dm:5m..10m

Good point! (forgot about that completely)

... when Match whole filename when using wildcards is enabled.

The version was recently added as an option for the title bar / window caption ($v(
You can get your desired layout by typing the following in the search bar, followed by ENTER:

Code: Select all

/window_title_format=$t $v

More options for the title bar can be found here

I can help with the icon! I told you! You should have told me 46 aspirins ago!!! :D But yes, if you can: please! I don't have the tools, the knowledge and most important: the patience to get this done. As long as it is still a stylized Q / rotated power-switch I'm good [1]. And that the leg of the ...

Can't quite follow this. Please can you share an image? I can, but if this will help you ... This is what my Everything 1.5 looks like at the moment: 2021-03-30 19_18_13-1.5.0.1251a (x64).png In Everything 1.4 you can define one single colour theme. These color settings end up in the ini file of Ev...

Maybe. The search delay (the amount of milliseconds Everything waits between typing a search and actually starts searching) might be more useful as it has been asked for a couple of times. Another thought: Maybe promote the shell extension related setting (max_path, icon_shell_extension, etc) to the...

In the C:\Windows.old folder you can find the backup that Windows makes before starting the upgrade.
Those files and folders will be removed automatially after 30 days (IIRC).

If you still have enough space on your C:-drive, there is no need to delete it.

... which you would be able to find with the following query

if you had match_start_of_filename_with_caret and match_end_of_filename_with_dollar_sign enabled.

or a Manual Management radio button could be added.

Yes, sorry, that is what I wanted to say: like the setup options.

Thanks for considering!

I'm so glad that you've started work on this again.

That started years ago!

The user interface is still in development, so I might speak too early, but Everything has grown adn the current Everything Options menu is less fitting for that (my opinion of course). At least: the General part. An alternative: (will take some time to get used to, btw) ** General Language Store se...

Ah, now I see! (earlier I just looked at the icons) The first one isn't an official Everything context menu entry. I guess you got it from here ? ;) Then you need to change the path to Everything in 2 places (marked bold). The first one is for the icon (just to be complete...) : Windows Registry Edi...

In the ini file of Everything 1.5, there are 2 color themes: one dark, one standard.
The one you copied over is the standard one.

When you switch to Standard ( Menu:View > Theme > Standard ), are your colors back?

The idea was to either operate in AutoSwitch mode - that will automatically switch folders - or present a list of open folders to choose from - what you see by default. When you don't want the list, you can get rid of it in a couple of ways: - press the ESCAPE key - press the ALT key - click somewhe...

That is a different colour! The 1.5 one is a bit more reddish (but I am slightly colourblind).

IIRC correctly, void changed it as the 1.4 icon looked 'brownish' on some older displays.

But we might get an entire new icon for 1.5 in the end, like this one or this one

Default, Everything will try to look for Bob and 2021 in the filename (without path)

If you want to search for bob and 2021 in the filepaths too, you can enable Match Path (in the menu, under Search)

If you repaort a question or issue with the alpha version of Everything 1.5 , please specify your version. That is important as almost every day a new version is released with changes, bug fixes and updates. Further: Your results are sorted by which column? For example, if your results are sorted by...

I have removed the show tooltips option from the Options UI. :thumbsup: /show_detailed_listview_tooltips=2 works well for me. The short tooltip for partially visible text doesn't bother me much as it doesn't block other rows. Besides: conditions for that to happen are very seldom met (no long paths...

OK, in the meantime I dusted off Launchy - a years old version was still in a corner on my drive - and tested it. Works here with: Name = ebook Program = C:\Path To\Everything.exe Arguments = -search " """d:\ebooks""" ext:pdf;epub;mobi;azw file: $$" If you create a filter in Everything called "ebook...

I can confirm it.
Didn't happen at first (or more likely: I didn't notice it), but now it does.

Thoughts? A lot of thoughts :) Let's get this clear, before posting irrelevant thoughts: In Launchy you want to type homerus ilias or ilias or homerus and then press a button (?) and that would open Everything with a search for all *.pdf, *.epub, *.mobi and *.azw* files in the folder d:\ebooks (or ...

Works here. Make sure the Show Search Everything folder context menu item option is checked under Options > General (not empty, not a little black square) If that part is OK, could you post the output of the following two CMD commands? reg.exe query "HKCR\Directory\background\shell\Search Everything...

I have good news for you: You don't have to wait!

It is part of the freshly released Everything 1.5 Alpha

Yes, you can combine bookmarks and filters. For example, this will find my Scandinavian, French and German music: Everything.exe -filter Audio -bookmark "Non-ascii names" Remarks: When you configure a bookmark, you can also select a filter to use. That filter will overrule teh one you configure on t...

Confirmed. 1.4 is OK.

FWIW: this&&that (note the double &) shows this&that in the status bar.

Yeah, that is all hard-coded in the alpha version.
That restrction should be gone with the beta version.

(although ... 1.5 is rock stable here, so in my world this might already be the beta version. I thought 1.4 was already perfect, but 1.5 is "perfecter"

)

Code: Select all

Everything.exe -instance "" -config .\Everything.ini -db .\Everything.db

(for portable 'installation')

?

IIRC, Everything 1.4 Service 'plays nice' with Everything 1.5, but probably better to uninstall the 1.4 service and use the 1.5 service instead.

I guess you had it disabled on 1.4 too, because .. annoying. A little nuance: when in thumbnail view this might be useful. Therefor the suggestion to show the thumbnail when hovering the icon. You can manually change it through /listview_tooltips /listview_tooltips=1 +ENTER in the search bar to enab...

The tooltip in the resultlist gets in the way quite often. That's why I have it disabled [1] Suggestion: Only show the tooltip when hovering the file/folder icon. [1] Not the one in the options dialog (options > view); that one is indispensable! In my opinion that setting should always be enabled an...

You should *always* be aware of quoting- and escaping issues, regardless what command processor/shell you are using. A tool like ES.exe can only help so much with that. For example, in PowerShell you need to be extremely cautious with [ , ] and ` characters in filenames or text. $ sometimes too. In ...

Can you tell me if this command prompt command can be used with the Portable version of Everything? Yes, no problem. Also, if I am trying to read a *.db file that was last updated in March of 2019, is that still compatible with today's downloaded version of Everything? I'm trying to do a test first...
