Everything Size Rounding?

Post by IsJohnDoe »

Hi there, I'm having an issue with selecting folders by the same size. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
I'm wondering if the advanced options are involved. Is Everything rounding sizes to a "floor" before passing that number to Directory Opus?
A folder that is 66kb, the Everything results shows 1MB. A folder that's 2.66MB, the Everything results shows 3MB. ?

The Everything SDK/IPC always uses sizes in bytes. (Directory Opus)

The size options and advanced size options only affect the view of sizes in the main Everything window.

Please try changing your size format in Everything:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the View tab.
  • Change size format to: Bytes.
    (I assume this was MB)
  • Click OK.
Check your sizes are the same.



If you prefer to keep sizes in MB, consider changing your size number format:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Advanced tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    size
  • Select: size_number_format
  • Set the value to: 3 digits
  • Click OK.
