F2 Stopped Working

Post by therube »

Everything (1393a), F2 (Rename) stopped working ?
Oddity.


F2 failed, failed, failed...
F3 (next find) worked
Shift F3 worked
F2 failed, failed, failed...
Shift+F2 works
F2 works in other programs

Everything (Console) "registered" the F2, but the F2 did not, F2.
(Should have tried the the Rename menu item, but didn't think.)

Code: Select all

WM_ACTIVATE 00000001 00000000
 lastfocus 000204c4
 current focus 00000000
 current foreground 000204ca

update m 0 09e6e828
update index C:

allow_rename=1
rename_select_filepart_only=0
rename_nav=0
rename_trim=1
rename_trim_stem_and_extension=0
rename_overwrite=1

file_rename_keys=8305
edit_advanced_advanced_rename_keys=9329
hot_item_rename_keys=
hot_item_parent_rename_keys=
parent_rename_keys=
then... at some point...
Everything went (Not Responding) ?
might i have typed something into Debug Console?
might i have been in a "Select" in Debug Console?

i Select All (in Debug Console), & Debug Console did respond to that action, & then Everything was no longer busy?
(but F2 still fails)

F2 works in other instances ?
8305 is the correct key code for Rename

it seems to be the particular Tab (where F2 fails) ?
ALS !dupme
ONLINE filter (online:)
DUPE on Length column
PATH !PUNC

change sort to Name, & F2 works

Code: Select all

COMMAND 41006
FIND CUR 4294967295:0-4294967295

Possibility exists it is/was some weird hardware issue?

Everything will hang in Mark-Mode.
Right click the debug console to exit Mark-Mode.



Is the file a file list item?
File list items cannot be renamed (Unless you enable Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> filelist_context_menu)
Please check if the result is a file list item by adding the Index Type column.
add-column:index-type




You cannot rename roots (eg: C:\ )



You cannot rename an item that does not have the SFGAO_CANRENAME flag.
Please check if the result has this flag by adding the Shell Attributes column.
add-column:shell-attributes

SFGAO_CANRENAME is 0x00000010
An easier way to check:
add-column:A A:=ISERROR($shell-attributes:)?"":($shell-attributes:&0x10?"Can Rename":"Cannot Rename")

-Please try right clicking the file, check if Rename is grayed.



If you select another item (so multiple items are selected) does the rename work?
Multi-select renaming bypasses the SFGAO_CANRENAME check.



Rename will not work if there is mouse capture.
For example, try resizing a column header. (while dragging, F2 will be processed, but does nothing)
Maybe there is a stuck mouse capture..
Please try moving the Window, or resizing a column header or dragging a tab to reset mouse capture.



Rename will not work if you are already renaming.
-I don't think this is the issue, you would see the existing rename edit box.



Rename will not work if Everything is unable to pull the result index from the selection index
-I don't think this is the issue, this would be caused by database corruption.

Happened again.

> Is the file a file list item?

No.

> You cannot rename roots (eg: C:\ )

N/A.

> You cannot rename an item that does not have the SFGAO_CANRENAME flag.

Didn't look, but wouldn't think it applies.
Absolutely nothing special or odd with the "file". And it is not a single file, it is every/any file, in the particular window, when this happens.

> If you select another item (so multiple items are selected) does the rename work?

Yes.

> Rename will not work if there is mouse capture.

Didn't look, but again don't think that applies.

> Rename will not work if you are already renaming.

Well, you can Shift+F2, & while that dialog is open, you can then F2 and effect a rename (but then if you try to effect the Shift+F2 rename, that will fail, as the file was renamed behind its back). In any case not going to be the issue.

---

Everything, F2 went missing - AGAIN...

single file highlighted

F2, fail
File | Rename, fail

Shift+F2, OK
F3, OK

new window, F2, OK
existing other window, F2, OK

highlight 2 files
F2, OK

sort /had/ been set, Size, descending
then i
Length (column header), Find Length Duplicates
i probably FAYT to advance to wanted file
- not sure if before or after FLD ?

(what other comments did you have - i should have noted...)


oh, so, File | Rename is a different code,
40396

& yet both 41006 & 40396 are failing

FAYT found 2 hits
1 is partially highlighted, a single character, rest is OOS
2 is entirely OOS (out of sight, past sized column width)
(as it happens to be)

Length is the only added Property in particular window
particular window is part of normal Session Restore
(so is always there, if you will, in that respect)
is used, much the same way, incl. F2 Rename, daily

but... for some reason, just now, it decided to not F2
(is there a !F2 about:config ;-))

F2 is not remapped

still Len Dup, change descending to ascending, no diff
click Name (column) [& with that...]

F2, OK

click Length (column) (DUPE still in effect throughout)

F2, OK

OK, now what...

Thanks for the issue report therube,

My guess is something in Everything has mouse capture.
Middle mouse button?

Everything 1.5.0.1396a adds the rename failure reason to the debug logs.

If you see the issue again with 1396a, could you please:
  • In Everything 1396a or later, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Start debug logging..
  • Press F2.
  • From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Stop debug logging..
    ---This will open your %TEMP%\Everything Debug Log.txt in Notepad.
  • Please reply with the contents of this file.
