Useful program, but I attempted to export the MD5 or CRC64 columns to CSV format. I didn't see either of them come through in the export. Is there some way to export this information in Version 1.5.0.1415b (x64) ?
I've got about 50 million files spread across multiple NAS disks, and I am attempting to find duplicates and was going to use one of those hash methods to find and then organize according to some rules.

Re: Exporting MD5 or CRC64 columns in CSV?
Everything will only export gathered information.
Before exporting, please read extended information for all files:
Before exporting, please read extended information for all files:
- Make sure the MD5/CRC64 columns are shown.
- Select all files
- From the File menu, click Read Extended Information.
- This will take a very long time.
- Progress is shown in the status bar on the right.
- Once Everything has finished gathering extended information, from the File menu, click Export....

Re: Exporting MD5 or CRC64 columns in CSV?
I am trying to do this, however, after a while, a dialog "Cancel current read extended information?" pops up. If I click "wait", it disappears then reappears within 30 seconds. It won't go away regardless of how many times I click "wait". Any thoughts on this? The file list is about 2.8M items.void wrote: Fri Jul 03, 2026 2:04 am Everything will only export gathered information.

It does export some values, but not all.

Something wants database access, so Everything will block.I am trying to do this, however, after a while, a dialog "Cancel current read extended information?" pops up.
Please avoid interacting with the result list while Everything is reading extended information.
Click the OK button to cancel the extended read and try again:
Click OK to cancel.
Select all files.
From the File menu, click Read Extended Information.
Please let me know if the issue persists, the blocking reason is shown in the debug console.
Indexing MD5/CRC64 might be the better option:The file list is about 2.8M items.
- In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the Properties tab on the left.
- Click Add....
- Select MD5 and click OK.
- Click Add....
- Select CRC64 and click OK.
- Click OK.
Progress is shown in the status bar on the right.
Once indexing is complete, export your results from File -> Export.

Re: Exporting MD5 or CRC64 columns in CSV?
I have turned on indexing MD5 for all my files. On one of my FAT32 drives, a usb stick, when i plug it in, as it is usually offline, i expected that it would get its files MD5 indexed. But adding the MD5 column in results shows only some of the files in the drive have MD5 strings in the MD5 column? Why is this and how do i force all files to be MD5 indexed, and in a timely manner, before i dismount it?
I have tried selecting the drive in the the FAT drives in index and rescanning, no change.
Interestingly the files that do have MD5 strings are files just put on the drive after turning on MD5 indexing
Version 1.5.0.1416b (x64)

Re: Exporting MD5 or CRC64 columns in CSV?
Progress was not shown in the status bar. However after following your instruction to select un-indexed files in my usb stick and pressing Ctrl+f5, the indexing appeared in the status and it is now indexing the files
Thankyou
