Thanks for considering this!

Thanks for this. Had to perform a checksum only comparison between two directories the other day, prior to discovering this, so instead had to use a different, more convoluted method via Powershell.

One interaction flow that has unexpected behavior is the following: 1. A search query is entered in Everything. 2. One or more files are selected then cut (via eg: Ctrl+X), to place them in clipboard. 3. Outside of Everything, in say File Explorer, the files are then pasted to the desired location. ...

To clarify create folder B inside folder A and check the date modified timestamp of folder A updates. If the date modified timestamp updates, then the file system is "Fast rescan" compatible. Fast rescan will only read folders that have a new date modified timestamp. Ah, I see. Thanks for...

I have a Samba/SMB network share that happens to be on an NTFS-formatted drive on the Linux-based NAS. The tooltip for 'Fast rescan' in the Network Drive preferences of Everything state that it's only compatible with NTFS volumes. Does this mean it can somehow detect the underlying NAS share uses NT...

A Synonyms list is on my TODO list. Just wanted to add that this would be a hugely appreciated feature if implemented at some point. I haven't tested the AHK suggestion (though I augment various Windows things already with AHK) but wanted to voice support for it, as 20-30% of every filename I write...

Search Everything for 'Search History.csv" .

Ah, cheers. For me that's much less useful than chronological order like the Opera example above. Would be nice to have an option in the settings (or config ini) to alter this.

Sorry for the double post, but I just noticed history drop-down entries aren't displayed from last typed. In fact I'm not sure what order they are arranged in at all.

The screenshot below shows the very last typed history result highlighted:

Arrow-key down, DEL (similar to what you can do with FF's awesomebar). Thanks. Is this documented anywhere? Found the Search History page in the docs but it doesn't mention these features. How do I add a search to the search history? Press Enter from the search edit or perform an action on a result...

Atl-back-arrow, Alt+right-arrow, kind of does it. Search bar dropdown, kind of does it. Everything | Options |History, kind of does it. Didn't see the History setting before, nice. The Alt+Arrow key was kinda flaky though, as it doesn't seem to return me to the current search when navigating forwar...

"Things to do" list for a future release of Everything: mp3 bit rate columns etc. History menu? It would be great to have custom columns, ala File Explorer. That way it could be configured to display audio metadata. Something also useful for columns would be to implement flexible columns ...

Joy!

Discovered it was the fact that my AHK scripts weren't being run as Administrator. With Everything being run as Admin the scripts couldn't access the window. Now I run the script as Admin via the shortcut I use to have it auto-start with the system.

wrong sorting

Good to see it's on the to do list at least. Looking forward to it being implemented.

Wish I knew what was causing Autohotkey to not play nice with Everything.

When sorting files Everything sorts single digit numbers without leading zeros amongst double digit numbers, such as: 1 11 2 23 In File Explorer under Windows 8 (and IIRC OSX, too) it sorts naturally, from lowest numerical value to highest - in the example above '2' would be sorted under '1'. It wou...

Ah, the parents: parameter is just what I'm looking for! Cheers

So I read the docs and found this section: Limit the search to a single folder: c:\windows\ !c:\windows\*\* I'd like to be able to search only one directory deep. This is the code I'm currently using for an 'Apps' search filter: <"C:\Portable Apps\"|"C:\Program Files\"|"C:\P...
