Attribute -u
Attribute -u
Hello everybody
I am wondering whether Everything is supporting the attribute 'u' (unpinned).
On the corresponding manual page https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/searching/ the attribute 'u' is not listed in the section "Attribute Constants". Does this mean "attrib:u" is not supported?
I am asking this question because Microsoft OneDrive is using the 'o' and 'u' attributes and I want to determine which files are currently stored locally.
Cheers, Ebse

Re: Attribute -u
The pinned and unpinned attributes are currently not supported with Everything 1.4.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention Ebse,
I've put these attributes on my TODO list to support.
Searching these attributes can be done with the Everything 1.5 alpha with attrib:0x80000 (pinned) and attrib:0x00100000 (unpinned)

Re: Attribute -u
Thanks a lot for the quick and excellent support.
The alpha version works like a charm
A donation was mandatory

I performed some more tests with the 1.5a version today.
As far as I understand the attribute -o (0x1000 Offline) has to be considered as well. The flags O, P, U are used by OneDrive, depending on the status of the file.
Apart from adding the filters, I think you also have to adjust the 'Attributes' column and eventually 'Offline Available' and 'Offline Status'.
Looking for to test the next available release

Re: Attribute -u
Thank you for the feedback Ebse,
Everything 1.5.0.1267a adds support for U, P and M attributes.
To search for sparse files:
attrib:0x200
attrib: search function
'Offline Available' and 'Offline Status' columns can be added from right clicking the result list column header -> Add Columns -> Offline Available and Offline Status.
Everything 1.5.0.1267a adds support for U, P and M attributes.
- U = Unpinned (OneDrive "online-only files")
- P = Pinned (OneDrive "always available files")
- M = Recall on Data Access
To search for sparse files:
attrib:0x200
attrib: search function
'Offline Available' and 'Offline Status' columns can be added from right clicking the result list column header -> Add Columns -> Offline Available and Offline Status.
no previews in OneDrive\Pictures
Noticed a probable error causing no previews in OneDrive\Pictures, which never show in Everything, but do show in Explorer.
It may be a result of a "Quirk" of Onedrive: it appears that the attributes assigned to files which are open.
This is the setup in Everything:
- including MD5 in Everything
- preview column selected
- showing attribute column (which does not change the error, just helps to see what is happening)
I open Everything using two folders, one in OneDrive, the other not, both containing the same .jpg files
I see all attributes originally are "AP" after initial ext:jpg selection, all pairs of files have identical MD5, as expected
[I know that "ALOM" is shown for offline files, but there are none here.]
I then go into the results list, and mouse down to get the preview, the preview column only shows the placeholder
immediately after accessing a file in OneDrive, the content of its attribute column changes to "ALP" in Everything
[OneDrive folder always shows "ALP" in the windows explorer attributes column, preview works. So I suspect the Explorer uses the Symbolic Link internally. The attrib command in CMD does not change to "ALP", but drops the "A" showing always "P" only.]
When I refresh the results list via F5, all attributes are back to "AP" in Everything, preview still does not work ,
even for the selected file, which still displays "AP" now, but preview is still placeholder.
[Side observation: since Windows 11, accessing the preview with Explorer, takes visibly longer for any file selected for the first time (once). Indications are that the preview image is accessed online, despite being permanently kept offline. They've got to be kidding!]
Edit: now including screen shots because I can not interpret messages in Debug Log.
Can not attacht logfile, reasons:
Attaching \AppData\Local\Temp\Everything Debug Log-1.5a.txt gives me error message "Invalid file extension: Everything Debug Log-1.5a.txt"
therefore I Include the contents in-line. I also tried to include the file without the "-1.5a", does not work either. I am now struggling with the limit on lines I can Post. Will post when I filtered out.
[Side: look at snapshots, why are there entries of the same file for "d:\..." and "D:\..." for the same file??]

Re: Attribute -u
void: Thanks for the info, I was wondering where this went.
I use the Attributes column and !attrib:P to locate files that are not 'sparse' and need to be re-sparsified (special tool) due to mistakes in copying/moving (very large) sparse project files (that is, they consume 2 or 20 or 100 times more disk space than they otherwise need to). I will add the bookmark macro sparse: == attrib:0x200
Re: Attribute -u
Unforunately, I added P as sparse long before Microsoft used it for pinned.
I will need to stick with Microsoft's lettering.
I will investigate.

Debug output might have some useful information:Preview only works outside of OneDrive
- Start OneDrive and get OneDrive and Everything in a state where Everything fails to show previews.
- In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Start Debug Logging.
- Select a different file in the result list to force Everything to load a new preview.
- From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Stop Debug Logging.
- ---this will open your Everything Debug Log.txt
- What is shown in your Everything Debug Log.txt?
The file might be an opened and the USN entry hasn't been closed (hence, Everything has not updated).all is back to "AP" in Everything
I will investigate.
no previews in onedrive/Pictures
Here is the log file I promised:

Re: Attribute -u
Thank you for the debug log rgbigel,
The logs show the txt preview loads OK.
The logs show the first preview for a jpg file fail. (no reason given)
The logs show the second preview for a jpg file succeed. (loading was slow)
The logs show the third preview for a jpg file succeed.
Everything is running as an admin, could you please make sure Everything is running as a standard user:
I will add more debug information for the next alpha update and post an update here when it is ready.
My guess is Everything is unable to create an ITEMIDLIST from the filename.

- In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the General tab on the left.
- Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything
- Uncheck Run as administrator.
- Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)

- Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
- Restart Everything.
