-create-file-list-exclude-folders doesn't work

[Someonegood]

Hi I'm using everything 1.4 and the command line (not es)

I don't know if it's something I'm doing wrong but I'm so lost, would like some help

As title says, I put <everything.exe path> -create-file-list <path of where my efu will be> <path of what I want to scan> - create-file-list-exclude-folders <path of the folder I want to exclude from the main folder>

It does create a file list but when i open the efu in everything, the excluded folder exists in the file list.

I'm losing my mind. Thanks for any help.

<path of the folder I want to exclude from the main folder>

-create-file-list-exclude-folders

only accepts foldernames without paths.
(but might include wildcards)

So this will not give the expected results:

Code: Select all

Everything.exe  -createfilelist .\output.efu c:\windows\   -createfilelist-excludefolders "c:\windows\system32";"c:\windows\winsxs"

Whereas the following 2 do:

Code: Select all

Everything.exe  -createfilelist .\output.efu c:\windows\   -createfilelist-excludefolders "system32";"winsxs"
Everything.exe  -createfilelist .\output.efu c:\windows\   -createfilelist-excludefolders "sys*32";"winsxs"

The double qotes are not needed when foldernames do not include spaces.



Everything.exe has basic support for generating filelists.
ES.exe gives you a much more granular control over what to include/exclude.
If you need support with that, just ask. No need to lose your mind another time



BTW:

- create-file-list-exclude-folders

Very likely just a typo on the forum, but the <space> between - and create should not be there.
