It takes a long time each time I sort by Length in latest version (1.5.0.1415b.x64)

[adriancornea52]

Hi,

I have been using Everything-1.5.0.1404a.x64 Portable for the past months. And today I saw that a new version is available on the official downloads page, so I downloaded the Everything 1.5.0.1415b Portable.

I have a database of over 20,000 videos. It is important for me to be able to sort them by their Length. In version 1.5.0.1404a this went very smoothly - after adding the 'Length' column it took some time until it indexed all the videos (it showed a green progess bar at the bottom right), but after that I can sort them by Length almost instantly.

That's not the case with the 1.5.0.1415b version. I added the Length column, but couldn't see a progress bar at the bottom right. Then, I clicked on the column to sort by Length, and then the green progress bar appears, and it takes around 4 minutes for the program to sort the videos by Length. Unfortunately, this happens every time I open the program and want to sort by Length - I have to wait around 4 minutes every time. This is not the case with version 1.5.0.1404a - as I said, there the sorting happens instantaneous.

I even enabled 'Index attributes' and 'Fast attributes sort' for the 1.5.0.1415b, but it didn't help. I mention that on 1.5.0.1404a I don't have 'Index attributes' and 'Fast attributes sort' enabled.

I mention that for both versions, I do not have 'Everything Service', 'Run as administrator', or 'Run indexing process as administrator' enabled.

Using Windows 11 Home.

I'll stick to 1.5.0.1404a until a better version appears.

Are you sure the property for length is even indexed? If green bar shows up every time you search, it reads like it hasn't indexed the property and it is reading length every time you search.
Not that I've used 1415b. The latest I have in use is 1411b.

Edit after staring at the screen for longer..
It doesn't read like you ever indexed length.
Instead you indexed attributes and thought that included length. Attributes are just the system ones, like Hidden, Archive and System. Idk if Archive is still a thing or if it was replaced in Windows 10.
Idk what that means for 1404a, maybe 1404a kept stuff in a cache in the database and 1415b doesn't.

Length is in Options - Indexes - Properties.

Sounds like Everything didn't copy your settings when upgrading to the beta version.

Please check "Copy Everything 1.5a settings and data" in the installer.
See the 1.5a Upgrade Guide for more information.

Yes, it seems to be a cache-ing problem.

I don't see any "Properties" option in Indexes Options. EDIT: sorry, I found now the "Properties" tab

I didn't upgrade, I extracted the Portable version archive to a separate folder and used it cleanly from there. I did the exact same things that I had done with 1404a, same settings, and adding a Length column, but 1411b behaves different - it doesn't hold a cache of the Length properties, and it takes around 4 minutes to scan the Lengths every time I open the program and Sort by Length. It shouldn't be necessary to upgrade for this to work, it should work cleanly from a new folder also if the program is good, no?

Ensure you added the "correct" Length.

Most likely you are wanting,

Everything Properties -> Length

,
& also under

Options | Indexes | Properties

, that you have Included the correct file types (Include only files:),
& set it to,

Fast Sort

.

Sorry Herkules97, I missed the "Properties" tab the first time I looked in Indexes. Now I found it. That is the solution of the problem I had. Thanks!

Yes, you are right, that is the solution. I realized now that in the 1404a version that I had, I had done what you said and forgot about it.
Thanks!
