Amazing !
It's a good measure of a tool if you learn something new even after so many years of usage.

Next time: Read the tooltips much more carefully

Worked great out of the box.
Attached is my current visual config.
I found it the most easy on the eyes and was working for me for the past 5 years.

Still does not solve the problem of using macros for "aliasing" commands with argument support..
Am I wrong here or is it possible in some way ?

aviasd

It looks like it uses Everything for it's filename searches, as it includes Everything32.dll (from the SDK) to communicate with a running Everything. BUT: when I ran Everything in debug mode, I could not see any (IPC) activity from this AnyTXT. AnyTXT was not very mature at that moment, but it look...

aviasd

Yes, two delimiters will be supported. ; can be escaped with double quotes. doubles quotes can be escaped with quot: (or ": in future versions of Everything) | can be escaped with &verbar: in future versions of Everything. I see . I'm guessing you have your reasons of not escaping with the stan...

I do believe this could be a useful feature.
Currently I revert to using cli tools like ripgrep for content searching, which knows to skip binary files as well as respect .gitignore and git folders etc.
Supporting these features in everything could be great!

Very cool

Could I request some dark versions with alternating row colors ? My eyesight is not what it used to be...

Macro names are case-sensitive, so if you defined e: as a macro, you can still use E: to specify the files on your E:-drive. Another alternative: use "e:" (surrounded by "" ) That's a good point! Never realized that the macros were case sensitive. The problem is when trying to be "wise" you might m...

Hi, Just wanted to input a scenario that might need be addressed. When creating a one letter macro, for example: e: , the macro will override the drive path handler, effectively preventing specifying path that starts with e:\ . Encountered after having forgotten that I created the macro and could no...

Hi,

This is just a minor issue, but grouping multiple extensions using ext:ext1;ext2 differs from the common way of grouping <file1|file2>

Imo, to retain consistency, the ext handler should support the common way as well..

Br,
Avi

Edit: Sorry, Please move to suggestions

aviasd

There are quite a few nice ideas in your script. Highlighting the file you selected (in Everything) and using the dialog's file extension to limit the search to that extension. Those stood out the most to me. EDIT: also worth mentioning: a routine for handling mouse-dragging. Thanks, I was just try...

aviasd

Thank you for all your work :) Attached is the current keyboard mod I have. It's pretty stable and restricted to fileopen dialogs alone. But perhaps it'll help with the main project. I've added a file extension detection which feeds the currently selected file types to everything as ext:ext1;ext2 qu...

Just a small addition to the above post: This version allows also to search for a folder in favorite list using Ctrl+D in file dialogs To create a favorite list: 1. type in the query: filelist:FavoriteFolder1|FavoriteFolder2|... 2. Add as filter called Favorites Now when typing Ctrl+D in file dialog...

Instantaneous

Probably less than 50ms but I cannot measure. xactly

aviasd

Very Cool

I keep forgetting about the filelist option...

Yes, this method (filelist:... ) is working perfectly and is preferable than opening an .efu because it retains all the folder icons!

Thanks !

aviasd

Hi I'm trying to use everything as a favorites menu to access favorite folders. Currently I'm doing wfn:<Folder1|Folder2|Folder3|...Folder70> which takes about 4 seconds for everything to return the result list. Is there a way I could speed this up using different query? Thanks Edit : About 50% of t...

Btw - an observation about /search_history_always_suggest_extend_toolbar=1 : The extended toolbar keeps being extended to config_search_history_always_suggest_visible_count_max size even when there are fewer results... IMO it should dynamically resize with the current suggestion count and disappear ...

Very good

Exactly what I wanted..
It's actually documented , just found it, I did not remember the hidden ini settings section

Thanks a lot!

Hi
I'm wondering if there's a way to show more than one line of history matches without pressing ctrl-space

( making the ctrl-space option redundant)
- Always show search suggestions is set
Thanks

aviasd

Yeah I just finished going through the change list.
Still nice to see this great project being updated regularly, even though it's mostly bugfixes (one of them actually fixes an issue I had ).

Keep up the good work

Whoops I don't know how i failed to notice the beta nightly builds... I kept looking for it on the homepage

aviasd

Hi I keep checking the website for an updated version and get disappointed there isn't.. I love all the current features and I'd like more! As I said in the subject, it's my favorite tool on windows - sharing a place only with Total Commander and I'd really like to see it get updated once in a while...

aviasd

Actually also macros works in that box
I created a filter macro ExcludeList with all the folder I want "explorer's monitoring" and I can add all the exclusions to that macro and use the same macro to all the drives i have just typing excludelist: in that box... also more organized that way

aviasd

Everything being Everything (highly configurable), what you want is actually possible: Under Menu:Tools > Options > Indexes > NTFS , configure Include only = !C:\MyFolder Mind the "!" (meaning NOT) You'll have to experiment with "" the path or not. Cool, how do I miss those things... It works with ...

1. What about Alt+B I don't really use alt normally and B is quite far compared to ctrl+d :) I guess if there was an option to map the bookmark menu to a custom key it would work too, so it can be worked around. Even changing the <Alt>-<B> is possible! : https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.ph...

It *is* coming from VirtualBox. Docker is 'just' a virtual application engine, where the application runs isolated and it's settings are saved somewhere else on the (virtual) Linux machine. It is just another program running on the virtual machine The VMDK belongs to the virtual Linux mahine. It ha...

The bookmark feature could be made more usable by making a hotkey for viewing the bookmark list (Ctrl+D) for choosing, and "adding item" as a submenu item. (like TC)

+1 for tabs,
also add feature to customize icon/colors for a tab ( like total commander ) , allow pinning and and hotkey for openning filters/bookmarks in a new tab (like shift+click)

aviasd

I did some further tests , it seems the issue is coming from virtualbox (latest build) and not specific to docker. I've retested again with latest everything build with vanilla configuration, same issue. I think the issue could point to a serious problem if everything misses NTFS changes to disk in ...

Hi I noticed some issue with everything on my machine. For some reason files changed by docker (modified , size change etc) are not updated in everything's index. (referring to virtualbox vmdk files) When rebuilding the index the changes appear. On explorer the changes appear (size,modified date) I'...

aviasd

Just thought about an extension to this suggestion: Right clicking on date columns (modified,accessed,created) could suggest a context of filtering before and after the date clicked, or possibly extract the "this" year/month/day time range and use that as filter, etc... Could enhance the UI very dra...

Hi To ease use of the granular searching, it would be a nice option if you could right click the path column in the search results and auto add part or whole path to the current search filter. I.E child:mp3 would find all folders containing mp3, if one of the results path is: "H:\Music\Music\New\Ele...

Huh You posted while I was writing this post... :) Just saw the child: option ,which does what i want..
