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?

Thanks for the image Ghost_Dz,

You are setting the exclude filter for folders.

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.
