Find and select missing?

Post by lupidity »

Hello, I have Everything installed on two machines.

Machine 1 has 1.5.0.1396a installed

Machine 2 has 1.5.0.1404a installed

I typically use my own script to do partial md5 hashing on video files, and being able to find and select all files that I have confirmed as dupes has made getting rid of dupes very easy.

I noticed however that on 1.5.0.1404a, this option under Edit seems to be missing, and I noticed no mention of a change in the changelog, unless I am blind. :D

Does the latest version have this, or will I need to downgrade or use some other method instead?

partial md5 hashing
Partial? As in, it only hashes a part of the file?

MD5 still exists.
I'm not aware of any "partial".


And this is under, Edit?
Screenshot of that?

Find and select still exists.
It's no longer shown in the Edit menu.

To show the Find and Select dialog, create a keyboard shortcut:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Keyboard tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show commands containing, search for: select
  • Select Edit | Select Filter
  • Click Add....
  • Press a new keyboard shortcut and click OK. (eg: Ctrl + Shift + F)
  • Click OK.

I am not doing that within Everything :D just using a script I found on stackoverflow that uses md5 to hash the beginning and end of a video file for speed. The dupes then get moved to their own folder.

Thank you! I will give this a go later.

I'll just note that (ffmpeg) offers various hashing methods (& not that I really understand such things), but depending on which is used, can substantially affect time taken.

Related, hashmedia.bat.

The dupes
The presumed dupes (until you verify the entire file) [but, beginning / end, might be good enough] ;-).
