Only the main window supports the dark theme for Everything 1.5.

Dark themes for other windows is on my TODO list for a future version of Everything.

Everything uses stock Windows controls and most of these don't support dark themes yet.

I concur

Thank you very much!

I'll consider a + button above the vertical scrollbar to show the add columns dialog. Thanks for the suggestion. Bug: Resize window after clicking a coulmn header for sorting. This is normal for Everything when the database is busy. When the database is busy, new database requests are added to a que...

Thanks for the suggestions Stamimail, 1. Make a synchronized scroll - to "Old Filenames:" and "New Filenames:" boxes. I'll consider making the vertical position of the two edits locked together. 2.

'Remove' in Everything implies remove from a list.
'Delete' in Everything implies delete from disk.

I will consider rewording these menus.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you for your suggestion menes,

What I meant was as a preemptive measure: As you said, it's tricky know the size for pdf/docs without reading the content. What about showing a warning in the status bar when the total indexed content size exceeds your total RAM size? I have a 16GB RAM system, but I just built a 406GB Everything da...

If Everything is seeing different drives with the same GUID, disabling auto_remove_moved_ntfs_volumes should prevent the old volumes from being removed from your index when adding a volume with the same GUID. To disable auto_remove_moved_ntfs_volumes: In Everything, type in the following search and ...

Sorry, I misread content indexing as content searching.. Showing the total indexed size in the Content options page would be useful. I'll put this on my TODO list. This size would grow as content is indexed so you could keep a eye on the total size while content indexing takes place in the backgroun...

It's tricky to determine as Everything is multi-threaded. Each thread could potentially allocate gigabytes of memory for content searching. However, Everything will avoid using more than 50% of total memory. If more than 50% of total memory has been allocated by all active content searches, a new co...

Thanks for the suggestion therube,

I will consider alternating the row color of different property values when searching for duplicated items.

Thanks for the image Ghost_Dz, You are setting the exclude filter for folders. Please remove the regex:^[^.]*$ folder filter. Please remove the folder excludes and set Include only files and Exclude files at the bottom of the Exclude options page: /exclude.lnk-ghost-dz.png Exclude a file type? *.lnk?

The "fixed an issue with opening virtual files." change has broken relative paths when executing files.

Everything needs to be able to execute files like:
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Mouse

I'm working on a fix.
I will make $exec expect file system files only.

Thank you for your feedback aviasd,

Everything is treating the file as a virtual file.

Please make sure you specify the full path and filename in $exec().

For example:
$exec("C:\Everything\tot.bat" "%1")

I'll look into improving 'virtual file' detection.

I have added #height: and #width: for testing in Everything 1.5.0.1254a.

(#height: and #width: are currently undocumented in the UI)

Everything 1.5.0.1254a fixes an issue with getting stuck indexing when you have an exclude filter.

Please let me know if the issue persists.

You might be excluding folders only?

To exclude lnk files from your index:

In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the Exclude tab on the left.
Select your *.lnk filter and click Remove.
Change Exclude files to: *.lnk
Click OK.

And is there a shortcut to open kth/first item?

Only the most run result.

It appears that custom properties are stored in a CSV file, only one for the whole database, at a location specified in Everything-1.5a.ini.

Thanks for creating this thread Stamimail, I suggest to make the functions syntax with a (customizable) prefix (and also suffix) something like :functionname: or /functionname/ or /functionname: (maybe this is the preferred syntax for functions) or /functionname= (maybe this is the preferred syntax ...

Include the drive letter and colon (:) or starting path with a trailing backslash.

For example, limit your search to the E: drive

For example, limit your search to the E:\My Photos

-use double quotes to escape spaces.

Please try enabling Match path from the Search menu.

When Match path is enabled, Everything will match the whole path and filename (instead of just the basename)

Alternative, use the path: search modifier:
