Delphi SDK supporting generic file types? (audio: zip: doc: exe: pic: video:)

[PeterPanino]

I am using Everything.DllWrapper.pas (2024.06.02, by Christian.Ziegelt) and Everything32.dll in my Delphi project (in Delphi 12):

When I use a query in the Everything GUI containing a generic file-type like "pic:", I get several results:
pic: mund

However, when I use the same query with the above-mentioned Delphi SDK, I get NO results:

SimpleEverythingSearchTestWithMemo_v2.zip

(120.25 KiB) Downloaded 698 times

It seems Christian's Delphi SDK only supports the ext: keyword, so with this query in my app I get several results:
ext:png mund

Does anyone have a better DLL wrapper for Delphi that supports all keywords?

Everything 1.4 will not expand filter macros from IPC (SDK) calls.

Everything 1.5 does expand filter macros from IPC (SDK) calls.



Alternatively, search with your own picture filter:

Code: Select all

ext:ani;apng;avif;avifs;bmp;bpg;cur;dds;gif;heic;heics;heif;heifs;hif;ico;jfi;jfif;jif;jpe;jpeg;jpg;jxl;jxr;pcx;png;psb;psd;svg;tga;tif;tiff;wdp;webp;wmf

These filter searches can be found under Search -> Organize Filters... -> Select a filter -> Edit -> Search

Thank you very much for the information!

As Everything 1.5 is still in ALPHA development state, I am hesitating to recommend installing it to my users.

So, while Everything 1.5 is still in ALPHA development state, I will use your proposed alternative.
