Re: searching network drive - not finding deep nested files

It's an 8 PB Network drive mounted on my machine. So the only way I can index it is as a folder, right? Not sure what that 32000 character depth means. The longest file path is probably only 100-200 characters. While I force a rebuild, I'd like to confirm that it's even possible to index a drive thi...

searching network drive - not finding deep nested files

Admittedly, the drive is huge.

Is there a max-depth setting for the indexing that I could change?
Or is there a hard limit to how much can be indexed, so that deeply nested simply will not be reached?

Thanks

possible to search for all files with icons in their names?

like this unnecessary one right here...😎

do they all fall within a certain unicode range that I can search for? or is there a shortcut phrase I can use?

Re: winrar drag-n-drop stopped working - but only with rar files!

yes, .rar drag-n-drop worked for years and now when I try to drag any file onto any rar archive, I get a circle/slash forbidden icon. Releasing the mouse button does not move the file, as it does in your case all the dragging I mention occurs inside the Everything window (where the found files are d...

winrar drag-n-drop stopped working - but only with rar files!

First of all, Everything is definitely running as a service. Not as administrator. Suddenly, I cannot drag found files into a found .rar archive. But I can drag found files into a found .zip archive (which, judging by the purple icon, is also handled by winrar). The files are compressed into the zip...

search for all files which are in any subfolder named "foo"

The n: drive has hundreds of sub folders at various depths, named "CD 2".
How to search for all mp3 files in those particular folders?

Code: Select all

n: .mp3 parent:"CD 2"

copying files between two Everything instances...

so Everything is so nice I'm using it more and more as a file manager... find folder x find file y cut/paste the file into the folder to move it, using the two Everything windows but of course this ties up Everything for the duration of the move, which can sometimes be 15 minutes, if the file is hug...

Re: Using Autohotkey (or other text expanders) on found files

Thanks all,

I disabled 'run as administrator' (had to restart Everything) and my hotkeys worked!

Now I need to see how my life will change now that Everything is running as a service. Not sure everything that implies.

Using Autohotkey (or other text expanders) on found files

So I search for files, and they're listed in the bottom pane. Then I try to alter the name of one of them. I hit F2, the name is highlighted, then I go to the end and type a text string which AutoHotKey is supposed to expand into a larger, more complicated string of text. This never worked. Fine, I ...

I made efu files of external drives... Now where to put 'em?

Where do I store my efus so that Everything will read them?

I thought that I could unmount the external drive, run a search and Everything would immediately 'find' those absent files via the efu files.

But that's not happening...

Thanks sir - that fixed it!

But somehow the Path slider did that to itself. No idea how.

The problem described in the subject line occasionally occurs and I usually fix it by quitting and restarting the engine.

restrict search to certain drive letters

Good sirs.
Can I do this? (on the fly, I mean... without setting up an exclude list)

I can say m:, and only results from drive m: will show up, but if I go l: m:, no results at all show up.
I want to search on just the L and M drives.
???

Thanks
