Hi, It's been a while since I've been away from this forum, happy to be back here! I'm currently starting Everything using "-startup" option to run in background. I'd like to change the Everything.ini from my own application to add or remove specific monitored folders. As explained in the ...

I'll try your suggestion with a special search command.
Thank you for your answer !

I forgot to ask if Everything_UpdateAllFolderIndexes will index all folders included NTFS drives (which are supposed to auto update)?

Hi, I've recently dive into network shares handling through Everything and I think it would be nice if we could ask for a specific folder index to rebuild through IPC. I saw this function Everything_UpdateAllFolderIndexes but none that gives the control of which folder to re-index. I know that it ca...

Thanks for your answer, I have solved the issue with a command line like: net use <uncpath> /user:<login> <password> I've been working on this a few hours already, and only after posting my question came the idea to search farther than just Everything. The good news is that it means PhotoInsight is ...

I don't have implemented a solution yet, but I may have understood the issue by myself (and the help of google). The issue is probable a credential issue. To connect to the shared drive from my user account I had to specify credentials, but as the Windows service runs in a different session I guess ...

Hi, I'm still using Everything in the complex context of a Windows service, and I now would like to support network shares. I understood that when not executing from the user's profile one must use UNC paths instead of mapped drives. That's what I'm currently doing, but I never get any result out of...

Thanks for your answer, it would be a great addition.
As a side question, in Everything windows when a new folder is added to index the database is automatically rebuild.
When doing the same through code I guess when I restart Everything (with -startup) I need to explicitly ask for a rebuild?

jams

Hi, What would be the best way to add a removable device (usb, sdcard ...) to the index when Everything is used without UI (through IPC calls)? I guess I could modify the ini file through code, but it also means I need to stop/restart Everything? Is there another way? Could the API be updated to sup...

Hi, I'm sad you did not like PhotoInsight. Let me just clarify a few points. The "home" screen let the user quickly see most recent photos (shot, created, modified or added to the database). I guess it can be useless for some people, but considering it adds photos to the database even when...

You nailed it ! Thanks a lot for finding the solution so quickly, just for people who might face the same issue, in C# I had to format the date this way: "yyyyMMddTHH:mm:ss" . I wonder if the date and time format specified in the Everything.ini file only relates to displayed dates in the c...

Thanks for your replies ! @void The problem is that my windows service runs in isolated session 0, which does not allow UI. Anyway using -debug-log was ok (see the attachment). I've been investigating further and used the service as "daemon" which allows me to run it in the user session (a...

Hi David, I'm facing an issue with "dc" search switch when used with IPC. I have this query: ext:jpg;jpeg;png;tif;tiff path:<"E:\Photos\A trier 2\107PHOTO\"> !path:<$Recycle.Bin|C:\WINDOWS|"C:\Program Files"|"C:\Program Files (x86)"> dc:>22/09/2019T23:15:56 wh...

Thanks a lot David for your feedback, I really appreciate it. All your comments were perfectly relevant and I took almost all of them into account.

I've been told that the subscribe form was broken, so if any of you ever wanted to subscribe but could not I wanted to tell you that it's fixed !

Hi Everything community ! I've been working on a side project for more than a year now https://photoinsight.io which makes heavy use of our dear Everything . My goal with this message is to find people interested in this application to participate to the upcoming beta program (fill in the form on th...

Thanks for your answer.
The three improvements you are describing should completely fulfill my needs.
I'm really looking forward to get this new version !

Hello, I thought I could find a workaround for this feature by creating a file watcher on everything.db to detect any change. But sadly (probably for performance reason) the file is saved only when the client is exited. Do you have any idea on how I could move forward on this track? Today to detect ...

jams

Thanks again for your explanation it's pretty clear for me now.
And good guess, Everything tells me it has indexed 2.3 million objects.

By the way would post some news about the coming new features in version 1.5 and expected release date ?

Hi, I noticed that my Everything process (client service) takes about 200Mo of private bytes, is it expected? I wouldn't have raised the point if I had not seen on this page http://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1677 that the service (not the client service as I understand) should t...

Thanks to your explanation I've been able to make my windows service operates with Everything "client service".
By the way is there any difference between '-install-client-service' and '-client-svc' ?

Hi, As you may remember I've build a C# wrapper for Everything API ( https://github.com/ju2pom/EverythingNet ). The wrapper use Everything_GetMajorVersion and the other similar methods to check if Everything service is started. I'm now trying to build a windows service that rely on this C# wrapper, ...

Hi,

I wonder if Everything SDK provides a way to be notified when the internal database is updated ? Especially I'd like to have a C# event that could do some work each time the database is updated.

Is it already possible, or is it a feature you could add?

Thanks,
Julien.

Replying to myself, I found a very simple library that works fine for me (even if I need to embed Windows.Forms control into my WPF application.

Hi David,

I'm building an application in C#/WPF that handle files and folders (that rely on Everything SDK) and I'd like to display windows explorer native context menu like you do in Everything interface. Would you point me on an API or library I could use to display this menu?

Thanks,
Julien.

Thanks for the addition it will be useful.

About the scenario when the information is not indexed, is the time spent to gather data done on every such query?
And still about index information, in the added methods to your SDK I didn't see anything about ID3 tags and image data (width, height, bpp).

Thanks David for your answer, I'll implement it using the list you provided.

Hi, I can't have the macro to work with my C# library (https://github.com/ju2pom/EverythingNet). I tried to use the same query in a unit test and in real Everything UI but the UT finds no result whereas Everything UI finds many. I have started everything service with -debug and could see the query (...

Hi,

I noticed searching for image by width or height is quite slow. Could it be possible to have an option to index those info ? If so it should be possible to enable indexing from IPC api. What would be the trade-off if enabling such an index?

Thanks !

Hi, Thanks a lot for your answer and the really fast update !

Hi, I'm slowly building a C# library that wraps Everything into a fluent .NET API ( https://github.com/ju2pom/EverythingNet ).

What command line option should I use to to start everything with IPC support (no need for UI) ?
I don't understand the difference between "client-service","service", "svc" and "startup" options.

Thanks for any clarification.

Hello,

I'd like to use Everything SDK in an exclusive x64bit application.
Is there a way to get a build of the dll in x64 platform ?
