I have a couple of discs formatted as exFat volumes (standard USB external physical disk MyBook drives) from before I knew indexing those in real time isn't really supported (I think). Under Options/Indexes/FAT there is only: - Attempt to monitor changes (which doesn't seem very reliable) - Rescan o...

I do see in "Everything 1.5 Alpha" , "Search Modifiers" (https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10906) "< > = Group search terms This does give identical results. Glad I found this. Got very accustomed to using round brackets (as we do in Google searches) with this ...

Excelllent, THANK YOU! & BTW it picked up the system dark setting. Reason it wasn't before is obviously I was still on the latest 1.4 stable release. DUH!

stevenroussos

For some reason the Windows 11 Dark Theme For Apps isn't affecting Everything. It's still light. I see it is available in 1.5 , but the most recent 1.5 I see is alpha which is 2 years old. Has 1.5 not been released yet? Are there any versions other than 1.5.1 or Alpha? I don't even have Themes in Vi...

Windows Task Manager in PROCESES tab will show under "Everything" a list of all currently open searches, usually alphabetized. This is VERY useful. 1. Sometimes it is a little buggy. After 1st opening TaskMgr there is a number in paren after the main Everything.exe task, and if you click t...

Had prior main computer sent for warranty repair, contents backed up. Used another in the interim. Both with Everything. Main computer replaced with brand shiny new one (YAY!) Can someone help with the proper Command Window or PowerShell commands to correctly combine the 2 older history .csv files i...

I had a keystroke flub and was going to copy the name of a file I had located (in this case an .mp4) and had copied the characters before the "." and accidentaly hit RETURN so it renamed the file ".mp4" I have no idea the disk it was on or any of its date or size into. Is there a...

stevenroussos

Still "to do"? Seems like it should be fairly straightforward, but I realize you have a mountain of requests/tasks. But this would surely be one of the most useful & appreciated enhancements. Just a simple "restore last session." Other things like a list of previous-session s...

This appears in This PC folder: This PC\Galaxy S9+ showing Card (SD card) and Phone (device memory) However, when I go to Options, Indices, Folders. Add Folder, "This PC" in the "Browse For Folder" form does not show it. If Galaxy S9+ folder appears to the OS (Windows 10) on the ...

stevenroussos

Ah, thanks. I didn't think of using folder indexing. 1. Does it include only the single folder, or does it recurse to subfolders? 2. Any idea why ir USED to work when my machine was window 7, but denied access once it was upgraded to W10? Does 10 handle these priveledges differently at an OS level?

stevenroussos

Everything is not "supported" software by my work company. I do not have admin access. On previous machine, which was running Windows 7, I was able to just unzip the portable version and run Everything.exe and it was able to index the NTFS volumes without performing a proper install and wi...

For the "doubtful" item, can it just start Excell and then grab the first selection to the system clipboard from there as its input? I could use Excell to view, sort search & then finally select & COPY the row texts.

THANKS! The script worked! However, that grid display to pick from leaves a few things to be desired. - I would like it to put the "video"" AFTER the text of search expression, so that when I view all open Everything processes in Windows Task Manager, the start of the expression shows...

stevenroussos

I still had the issue I desccribed:every attempt I made to add anything after the search expression with a space inbetween didn't work, no space, so I guess I am going to get "video:" just stuck up against the search expression from the input file a I did with "type:Video". That'...

stevenroussos

Oh that's cool, thanks! That does eliminate the messing around with the .csv file in Excell, copying list to to new txt file etc., so GREAT! HOWEVER I still cannot get it to proper add " type:Video" to the result. Seems like my code in my last message above should work, but it insists on N...

stevenroussos

I tried this to simply add a space and "type:Video" , as well as 10 other varitaions on the syntax. Nothing I do works. The below creates the search windows minimized, but just smashes "type:Video" up against the line from the file so searches for the wrong string. For instance, ...

OK I just answered 1. with a little research. From https://stackify.com/what-is-powershell/ ("What is PowerShell Start Process? How to Execute a File from a Command Line in Windows") Last line of script should be: Start-process .\everything.exe -Argumentlist "$search" -WindowStyl...

Below are instructions to create and run a script to autoload a predefined set (time-ordered in this case) of search expressions each in its own window/process. (btw this forum page would not let me attach a .txt file, oddly, it kept insisting any attachment be an "extension.") I got it mo...

stevenroussos

Did you ever add a restore previous session function?

stevenroussos

"Task Manager" refers to Windows Task Manager. If you start it, and got to Processes tab, and expand Everything, it is a convenient summary of all open Everything windows, showing the search field. It usually works but on random occasions goes cattywompus. Sometimes some random event I can...

stevenroussos

Not sure if I can reproduce. It seems to happen at random. It is fine for awhile. Then goes cattywompus without warning. Then reverts back, maybe after rebooting if I am luck but not always. Or maybe some other usage of Everything makes it revert, I am really not sure. I don't use the Show History f...

stevenroussos

That hint repaired the Search History columns, thank you!!!

stevenroussos

Thank you!

stevenroussos

No it is set to "High" Thanks for considering the suggestion. It would be extremely helpful for heavy users like me. And thanks for the fantastic App!!!

stevenroussos

I will try that. I have no idea why the copyright is different from me than you. I just downloaded it and used it. No idea what is going on.

stevenroussos

Thanks, but.... I followed the instructions exactly to download and install that latest nightly build that supposedly fixed the issue... NO LUCK. When I bring up SEARCH HISTORY it still has the superwide columns and missing column titles where you can normally slide them around. Oerhaps a RESET func...

stevenroussos

I would be SUPER useful to have a SHOW ALL HISTORY window that was not tied to a particular open search history. It should stay OPEN and update dynamically when a newly seen search string is submitted. The listed searches should be double-clickable: - If there is a current search window open with th...

Have a bunch of searches open I would rather not have to re-enter. However after computer sleep and wake they are all now refusing to accept any keyboard input. Otherwise the menus, resizing, result options (click, context menu, etc) are all functioning normally. What is causing this, and is there a...

stevenroussos

Thanks for that tip

stevenroussos

Just discovered the really useful duplicate file functions built into Everything. Use one of these terms first on the line, you can augment with setting search type and other terms for fragments of titles. Most useful to me is namepartdupe: Flexible partial filename duplicate finder, in case you sav...

stevenroussos

Cool, thanks!

stevenroussos

Also, if you have drives that are non NFTS (including thumb drives) you can add them to the Indexes, Folders in Options.

stevenroussos

THANKS A MILLION! You should send this to VOIDTOOLS creator so it can be included in future releases. VERY handy!

stevenroussos

THANK YOU! My intent will be to copy the main .csv file and edit it to include entries to my wishes, which might include searches older than the last day. In which case I guess I will edit the input file name to the name of the copy with my edited want list, then change foreach ($Query in $recent) {...

I use Everything a lot, for multiple concurrent things, sometimes ending up with dozens of Search Windows open. When it is necessary to reboot the computer I take care to properly CLOSE the Everything app so that all my open searches are saved in the Search History.csv file. So, after restarting, I ...

I will try 1.4 (I didn't notice I was on an older version) and will get a crash dump when I can

stevenroussos

Crash basically every time upon waking computer after I put the computer to sleep with multiple Everything search windows left open. Most aggravating. Version 1.3.4.686 (x64)
