I am having problems to find a property of files that allows selection /exclusion via: - on a not mounted volume - offline (not locally stored) on OneDrive Attrib:O or Column "Offline Status" and "Offline Availabily" are always empty in the results display. How about something li...

Well, not quite gone. The sort time appears to be watched, and when everything thinks it't too long, the message occurs again.
Tried this when sorting all pictures (filter) by System.VolumeId, which is not indexed here. The sort is very slow.
Windows indicates "no response"

Working on a subset of 50k pictures, the problem is completely gone.

Hrmpf... looking at the context indexing options, i noticed ... they are all gone ...!
Don't ask me how this happened, but I'm now getting fresh ones.
Coming back to this post when it's done.

I have my Pics options set such that they are indexed via SHA-256. when sorting this column (and likewise, when searching for duplicate SHA-256) sorting starts, but after some time, the message box asking if the sort should be aborted pops up. Entering Wait resumes sort (as does X-ing the message), ...

OK, I did as advised. Since I had deleted the Offline volumes on the system booted from SM2-980-C(C:), I used the dual booted SSD850-b(C:). Indeed, the volume names of the SM2-980-C drives do differ: \\?\Volume{81} SM2-980-C(B:)(Offline) \\?\Volume{dc} SM2-980-C(B:) Which explains the described beha...

Re-indexing has finished now, the files threema-* is still showing in Everything like before, but it does not exist.

1.5.0.1319a I'm using a filter named "renamies" to select files with names that need to be normalized by a subsequent rename operation. After the rename, some (not all!) items with the name prior to the rename are still showing, although the rename was done, so the file in the result list ...

For me, re-indexing does not occur in normal activity once it has completed -- yes, it takes a long time at first (over 500000 Files, just jpg's) Several months ago, re-indexing also happened, but with the more current 1.5a versions it does not. My solution to the original problem works now, albeit ...

Example Basic Problem: I would like to find all files having a SHA-256 identical to that of the currently selected file of a search result (to be opened in a new search window). It is probably very simple, but I can not figure out how to extract the (indicated) value of the SHA-256 to plug into a qu...

Thank you again for your extensive help. Trying to follow this up, if may have found a serious bug "somewhere", which may not be related to Everything, but it "smells" like it. So I have no idea how to proceed. Looking and the listing search result with filter Everything, Search ...

Please consider using a tool like shasum256 (or md5sum). shasum256 will produce a sidecar file (.sha256) so the hash only needs to be calculated once. Everything has support for .sha256 sidecar files. I had no Idea about .sha256 files. Thank you! But how does this work? :? Are the SHA256 values use...

I have found Property Indexing (currently only using MD5:) extremely useful. In fact, I am using it extensively on some 200000 picture files. Here, the indexing takes a while, but that's OK. When I added *.mp4 to the "only Files", the indexing is taking longer than 3 days. :geek: because t...

The first of the suggested remedies worked: I dropped Administrator mode while staying with Service.
I have not tried to debug, because it now works.

Thank you

PS: why is an Administrator limited this way? The problem now is, that I can't store the .ini inside Program Files\Everything.

rgbigel

That is exacty the problem. Explorer shows, Everything does not show previews. I just checked the preview handler tool. It shows a handler (to my surprise), so possibly Explorer is using that, or maybe its own, not visible to the preview handler tool? But why then does Everything not use it? The nam...

rgbigel

so much has improved... even Windows 11 Explorer is now able to show Pdf documents, both in Icons and in Preview modes.
So in think Everything (current 1.5.0.1294a) should also be capable of doing it?

Noticed a probable error causing no previews in OneDrive\Pictures, which never show in Everything, but do show in Explorer. It may be a result of a "Quirk" of Onedrive: it appears that the attributes assigned to files which are open. This is the setup in Everything: - including MD5 in Ever...

Very usefull already! But another suggestion follows (you know me...) Within the results, another feature would really help: Exclude (from results list) Example: when a list of crc duplicates is showing, I would like to delete all files in path(s) xxxx and filenames:abc hence I would like to Exclude...

rgbigel

It's documented! But quite hidden.
Right click on the property column header (MD5) and select that function from the list.
Unfortunately that selection is easily lost when any search attributes are modified.

rgbigel

I just happily found that I can find duplicates, here for md5.

And by just a hunch, I tried excluding the file which have no md5, too, which I had not been able to find documented.

Works: !md5:null

just great!

But it does not work after looking for md5 duplicates

OK, I was unaware of the /match_start_of_filename_with_caret=2 Option, which was set to 1 before. Using =2, it works. However, I still do not understand why the leading "#" makes any difference. What's so special about that character? However, /match_end_of_filename_with_dollar_sign=1 (or ...

When I use a search for #0789 I get the correct result with two files, #0789.jpg #0789 - Kopie.jpg As soon as I add the leading caret the results list is empty. This also happens for a search with $ at the end of #0789$ it does not happen for searches containing no # character. (I have not tried oth...

[Ver 1.5a is just amazing, incredible progress; no errors found yet] I do have a suggestion about dupe: It seems natural to me that when looking for a dupe, one would also sort the results by that column.

Thanks for your enormous effort developing and maintaining this prog. I understand the performance issues when updating the index. But looking at a program like "TreeSize Free" shows that there might be another option: you could just do a "live" traversal on request only. Followi...

I totally agree with @colinchaffin -- whose post is from 2017, but no real answer seems to have been given. Using a file for each junction within a folder I would like to search is totally unpractical . Consider this, with search addressing backups with names\dates like \20110203: \folder to search ...

When Rename is selected by right click on Everything results, there is a very useful pattern matching replacement functionality in Everything. However, in case of a file name collision, I receive a query about what to do, allowing only three options, and the first one (try again) is always selected....

rgbigel

I think this would be quite useful.

I would also suggest to generaslize this: show explorer in the results window when a folder is selected, showing the files in selectable views.

It would save having to open an explorer window, e.g. when walking directories.

rgbigel

There ist also an unexpected behaviour with excluded folders: when you add a subfolder of an excluded folder into the "folders to scan", the contents are ignored. I think, when you explicitly include a folder, it should never be ignored. The exclude is even prioritized when you define a ju...

rgbigel

The problem exists because Everything.Exe is running (e.g. as a task). Before replacing it, you must completely quit all, if need be, by task manager.
I have found that using just File/Exit (in the window or the task bar icon) may not close the system task (strangely, only sometimes).

I may be blind, but I can not find the Content: function in the help for search syntax.
I knew it was there (from the very bottom of my memory about reading in forum).

Every-Body loves EveryThing ;) What I can't find (or is missing) is a way to specify a filter programmatically. In particular, I would like to open the program using specifically the (implicit) filter "All Files", without setting the default filter used when I open Everything later. Exampl...
