LOVE THIS!! So stoked this was added!

After enabling the "Size on Disk" column, it only reports a static number, without any unit type (it looks to be in bytes). Is it possible to have "Size on Disk" column attach to the "Size Format" setting like "Size" column does? I have a number of torrent fil...

This is a tab bug. When setting Home -> Sort and creating a new tab, the header will show both the existing sort and the home sort as current. (The home sort is actually used) It will be fixed in the next alpha update. For now, switching tabs will refresh the display issue. Aha, now it all makes se...

Coldblackice

Shift will set the secondary sort. Is your Shift key getting stuck down? Have you set the sort from a filter with a sort: search? Hmm, strange. My Shift definitely isn't stuck, likewise, when I do hold Shift, nothing happens when I click column headers, no secondary sorting nor even primary sorting...

Coldblackice

Not exactly sure when I first starting noticed this, but I've been having a frustrating issue with multi-column sorting occurring, and happening by default on all my searches, driving me crazy. Is there a reason this started happening? And is there a setting to stop it? I must be blind if so, as I'v...

Is there a reason Everything's (1.5) update checker isn't able to retrieve the latest update? Looking at the update check's network request, it appears it checks https://www.voidtools.com/Everything-1.5a-update.ini which shows v1.5.0.1361 as being the latest version, as seen below: [Everything] majo...

Coldblackice

Oh I didn't even notice it there... fantastic! Great news, thanks for implementing.

Coldblackice

Would it be possible to add a setting/option to restore Everything's previous search(es/tabs)? Sometimes I need to close or restart Everything, and I often leave searches up in tabs as a reference/reminder for something I'm either actively working on, or monitoring, or need to get to. When Everythin...

Would it be possible to explain generally about sizing of index/journals, i.e. the outcomes/effects/pros/cons from such? In particular, I'm referencing these settings: Everything Search Index Journal Explanation - Forum thread 2POST.png I'm wondering generally what is the effect of increasing the si...

Coldblackice

This is AWESOME ! Wow, thanks a bunch for adding these! I can't tell you how helpful and convenient these are, being able to quickly discern with a glance which files are digitally signed or not in any given folder. Especially being able to see both the signature name and timestamps. Not only that, ...

Coldblackice

@void Out of curiosity, any chance you'd mind posting your Everything settings? I'm curious how you, the developer, utilize Everything, as a reference compared to my/others/default settings. I realize everyone's needs different and one's settings won't automatically be the best for everyone. That sa...

Coldblackice

This thread is a great idea! However, I'd suggest a more detailed/descriptive thread title, and also pinning it.

I've subbed and would love to know others' uses/tricks, as I always feel like there is so much more I could be doing with Everything but am not (yet) aware of.

Coldblackice

Would it be possible to add the option to include a new column for "Digital Signatures" (as a file property)? For example: win-dll.png This would be very useful being able to include as a property/column in an Everything search, as it'd quickly allow visually discerning amongst files which...

Coldblackice

I. LOVE. THIS. FEATURE! Wow, I'm beyond excited about this feature! I wasn't even aware it was added, only while searching Everything's shortcuts for (keyboard) "Tab" did I stumble on "Tabs" commands populating below (I love the shortcut search function, too). Awesome addition! A...

Coldblackice

That is great! Thank you very much! After exiting Everything I cannot remove Everything64.exe. A message appears, saying something like, cannot be closed because it is open in Everything: https://i.imgur.com/rZ0YdFw.png Do I have to close the Everything service in the Task Manager? Does that proper...

Coldblackice

Awkward to do with Everything 1.4, please try: *\test2\* !*\test2\*\* and if you wanted a depth of 2: *\test2\*\* !*\test2\*\*\* Everything 1.5 makes this easy with the following search: test2\* and if you wanted a depth of 2: test2\*\* Wow, that's a fantastic trick, and one I'll be using frequentl...

Coldblackice

Is it possible to have "depth:" work relative to the folder being searched? So if I have C:\test1\test2\test3 on my drive and I search for "\test2\" in the search, appending "depth:1" would be relative to the depth of test2, and not from the root of the drive.

Coldblackice

Compare it to a light-switch: /home_omit_results=1 switches the light on whnever you enter the home (even if it was on before) So when you press ALT-HOME, open a new window or start Everything for the first time: Omit Results will be "On" /omit_results=1 switches the light on manually (= ...

Coldblackice

Thank you for your feedback Coldblackice, To add a keyboard shortcut to show all result omissions: In Everything , from the Tools menu, click Options . Click the Keyboard tab on the left. To the right of Show commands containing, search for: omission Select Indexes | Organize Result Omissions . Cli...

Coldblackice

I could've sworn it used to be that when searching for "\" with a term appended to it, Everything only searched for and within folders beginning with that term. So "\house" would find include all folders starting with "house", but also show all files within folders begi...

Coldblackice

there's some redundancy overlap with separate "Excludes" and "Omits" functions (if I'm understanding what you're saying) and it may be beneficial merging their functionalities. There are similarities, which would make one think that the entries could be combined, with an Exclude...

Is there a general consensus amongst Windows users as to what to do with Windows Search/Indexing? Obviously Everything is better at ...everything, which is all I use, but if you turn off all of Windows search/indexing, then you don't get start-menu populating and other minor misc. things. I'm also a...

Coldblackice

3. Don't you think you can unite "File List Editor" and "Organize Result Omissions" into one? It's possible. But why force the Result Omissions List to be a File List when it can be specifically built as a result omission list? File lists are not really designed to handle filter...

Coldblackice

Awesome! I'm willing to be a tester if desired, although I'm not using non-English Windows.

Coldblackice

This is a fantastic feature! Everything is truly living up to its name, making this utility technologically "lethal". Thanks for all the hard work, void!

Coldblackice

Awesome, sounds great!

Coldblackice

Great feature! +1

Coldblackice

An absolute savage feature, IMO: a tagging-->action function in Everything I positively hate navigating save dialogs to get to the right folder to save or move a particular file to. Relying on "Quick access" is clunky. Quickest routine I have is popping an Everything search, typing "f...

Coldblackice

This is a fantastic addon. Would it be possible to implement the standard Ctrl-Shift-F10 keyboard shortcut for opening right-click context menus (of whatever file/folders are selected)? Currently, Shift-F10 only brings up a limited context menu, and it's also a context menu for the text/input sectio...

Coldblackice

Despite enabling Windows 10 "dark mode", Everything's implementation of the context menu continues to use the light theme. Is there a way to fix/change this?

Coldblackice

How in the world have I not seen this til now? Wow, this is fantastic! And that's a sizeable Github following, wow. Where have you posted about this previously that so many people have found it? I'm surprised there aren't more responses in this thread.

Coldblackice

This is a cool idea and all (I was a longtime Listary user), but honestly, IMO even better than this ability is incorporating Everything into Windows/Explorer file/save dialogs themselves. I can't tell you how many times a day I have to navigate to a random folder across a handful of drives in some ...

Coldblackice

An option to toggle the temporary excludes from the Search is on my TODO list. Thanks for the suggestion. For now, you will need to toggle temporary excludes from the Index menu, or right click the status bar. Double clicking TEMPEXCLUDES in the statusbar will disable temporary excludes. So to clar...

Coldblackice

Would it be possible to have the ability to temporarily *include* things in searches (and not just temporary-exclude)? Sometimes I need to search for things I've added to Everything's Exclude list (great ability btw). I exclude a number of "noise" folders/files/types like FileHistory, .LNK...

Coldblackice

Oh man (M/F), I would love to see that!! I spend a lot of time in the registry, although I have to admit taht it gets less now Windows makes it a lot harder to configure things beyond UI and GPOs. 100% agreed . More and more I find myself having to monitor systemwide registry access just so I can &...

Coldblackice

Yes please! I would love this feature as well. I use window autosize, but I'm still constantly having to resize columns to see everything (no pun intended), most often the path column, sometimes the name column as well. Even more amazing -- not sure if this would even be possible -- would be if user...

Coldblackice

I know this is a longshot, but is there any chance Everything 1.5 could be unshackled to transcend into a new dimension of bits and time, namely, the Windows registry? I realize average Joe user doesn't have much need for foraging around in the registry, but for any IT/admins in the house, the regis...

Coldblackice

It would be great if there was a way to override folder exclusions. For example, the majority of the time I don't want "FileHistory" folders included in my searches. However, occasionally I do want to search that folder. It would be great if there was a way to override an excluded folder f...

Tonight I will post QuickSwitch (mentioned earlier in this thread), a spin-off of JumpToFolder . I needed the QuickSwitch technology to bring JumpToFolder to the next level. When QuickSwitch works without (major) issues, I can finally continue working on JumpToFolder. I do have a version running he...

Coldblackice

Void, out of curiosity, which version do you personally use?

Coldblackice

I've been getting this same issue too when doing silent/automated installs, and have tried to suppress it as it breaks my batch installer. Great to know what it's from and there's a fix! I'll also try the nightly build, as well. Thanks!

Coldblackice

When using the "Exclude Folder" function, I use filter-objects most of the time since I have a number of repeated cache folders across a various number of browsers and browser profiles. When adding a filter, afterwards you can go back and click "Edit", and it'll still show you th...

Coldblackice

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when doing an advanced search, there are some search properties that don't get inserted inline into the search box after the advanced-search window closes. This has a negative impact for two reasons: It can become confusing afterward since there's no visible indication o...

Coldblackice

I am a user of Listary and found JumpToFolder from its forum. This program is quite a great alternative of Listary. I wonder if you have any intention of implementing some more useful functions in Listary called "Quick Switch". When a file dialog is opened and you have another Explorer wi...

Coldblackice

I like using the folder path quick-search ability, such as "\AppData". However, sometimes I only know that part of a word is in the folder name, so I try to do a wildcard folder path, like "\*cache*" (if I'm looking for files in folders that have "cache" in their name. ...

Coldblackice

Would it be possible to add a keyboard shortcut ability that inverts the search? For example, if I have a search consisting of: \Cache \Firefox \System32 Then pressing the "Invert" keyboard shortcut, e.g. CTRL-SHIFT-I, inverts each of those terms, adding an "!" in front of each o...

Coldblackice

I often use the path-separator ability to quickly whittle down a large resultant search set by excluding certain folders, e.g.: Search: sqlite But then seeing too many recently-modified files in the results from %AppData%\Firefox\Cache, causing the search results to "spam" cache file entri...

Coldblackice

You beautiful, beautiful bastard! This is brilliant. Awesome idea and script!

Coldblackice

I'm trying to find some particular text in a folder full of log files, but it seems that the "contents:" ability isn't using regex or wildcards. Is it possible to do this?

Coldblackice

Thanks. What's the purpose/difference then between filters and bookmarks? It looks like bookmarks are basically just filters with more configurable options. I must be missing something, however.
