[Solved] Is the macro Filter pic no longer working?

[Native2904]

I’m not 100% sure (if it is a Bug) but somehow the >macro pic: Search for picture files< no longer seems to work in version 1.5.0.1407a (x64) of Everything.
The geotagging filter also no longer works for me, and the tool ViewFinder for Everything shows the same behavior.

Instead of picture files, completely normal folders are displayed at random.

I have a filter Picture: which defines the macro pic:
Works fine in version 1.5.0.1407a

I mean this one:

pic: latitude: longitude: [define:EARTHRADIUS=6371] [define:mylat=48.858093] [define:mylong=2.294694] add-column:A A-label:="Distance (km)" A:=ROUND(ACOS(SIN(RADIANS(90-[mylat:]))*SIN(RADIANS(90-$latitude:))*COS(RADIANS([mylong:]-$longitude:))+COS(RADIANS(90-[mylat:]))*COS(RADIANS(90-$latitude:)))*[EARTHRADIUS:],0)

I guess you don't have a pic definition
not as a macro nor as filter which defines a pic: macro.
So this search will fail.
Look into the macros.csv and filters.csv

Okay, i will do this, but all other (audio, video) macros work.
How did that happen... I’ve been using these filters ever since they were published here, and now they’ve stopped working.

-------------------

okay, by me, there is no a macro.csv there is only a filter.csv.

The name is macros.csv
but I think there is none if you never defined a macro using /define in the GUI.
So you should have or create the pic macro in a Picture filter as shown in my previous post.

Please check your Picture filter.
In Everything, from the Search menu, click Organize Filters.
Select Pictures and click Edit....
What is shown?
Focus the Macro edit. Does Everything show a warning: Macro is currently used by...



If there's no pic macro defined, pic: will map to image:

geotagging filter also no longer works for me,

Please send a debug log:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Start Debug Logging...
• Activate your geotagging filter and perform a search.
• From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Stop Debug Logging...
  This will open your %TEMP%\Everything Debug Log.txt in your text editor.
• Please upload this file in a bug report.

Hi Horst,
when I download a fresh version of Everything and start it, then type pic: in the search field, all images are listed.
I have never configured a macro.csv.

However, you and the author are right ...
— I had set a macro »img« under my Image filter.
Sorry for causing a bit of a fuss for no reason… but on the other hand, I’ve learned something interesting:
user-defined macros override predefined macros.
Everything is better than a book — because every page feels like a new book.
Thx!

Sorry for the continue...!

I’ve been working on this for 2 hours trying to get everything right, but it still doesn’t work correctly.
I thought removing the >>img<< macro would fix it, but I was wrong.
With the search command:

Code: Select all

Suche:
pic:  latitude: longitude:   [define:EARTHRADIUS=6371]  [define:mylat=####]  [define:mylong=####]   add-column:A   A-label:="Distance (km)"   A:=ROUND(ACOS(SIN(RADIANS(90-[mylat:]))*SIN(RADIANS(90-$latitude:))*COS(RADIANS([mylong:]-$longitude:))+COS(RADIANS(90-[mylat:]))*COS(RADIANS(90-$latitude:)))*[EARTHRADIUS:],0)

Nothing changes. The results in Everything still seem random, and I don’t get any geo-tagged pictures.
No user-defined macros are set — I’ve checked.

When I type pic: in the search bar, it returns a file where the word “Picture” appears in the path column.
