This pic shows the bookmark and the result of using it. It looks fishy.

I tried several other sort types. Whatever I specify, the debug window shows one less!

When I use the ES.EXE that I built, I see sort type 11.

Now I'm using 860b. I have no HKCU\Software\ES key. Create times show and toggle up/down correctly in the GUI. Here's a tidier experiment (using JPSoft's TCC command interpreter).

That's what I see: IPC: execute query: g:\*\tcc.exe search 'g:\*\tcc.exe' filter '' sort 11 IPC: execute query: g:\*\tcc.exe search 'g:\*\tcc.exe' filter '' sort 10 But in the ES.EXE console, I see: v:\> es -dc -sort-date-created-descending g:\*\tcc.exe 2017/03/09 23:22 G:\tc20\tcc.exe 2017/01/04 17...

After a lot of farting around, I'm pretty convinced that ES.EXE is doing what it should. A couple strategically placed debug messages suggest that. But, as before, the results don't come back if the requested order. p:\myes\release> myes.exe -dc -sort-date-created-descending g:\*\tcc.exe es_sendquer...

vfatica

The sorting worked for me in previous versions of Everything so I'm not sure what is going on there.. I updated to 1.4.1.859b (x86) and the two sorts I mentioned earlier still produce the same results, both sorted descending. I can toggle ascending/descending in the Everything GUI just fine. But I ...

How do I post an image? The only method I can find is [img]URL[/img] and I'll find out right now if FTP works. Is there a more direct way?

When I use "-highlighted" the only thing highlighted is the part of the path/name which I entered on the command line. For example, if I es.exe -highlight c:\sy I get several results for C:\System Volume Information[...], but the only text that's highlighted is "C:\SY". OT: Can I...

And while these seem implemented in the arg parsing, they produce no additional output.

Code: Select all

-date-created, -dc
-date-modified, -dm
-date-accessed, -da
-date-run

And when I use

Code: Select all

-attributes, -attribs, -attrib

the only attribute I ever see is "D".

vfatica

These seem to be misspelled and unimplemented:

Code: Select all

-highlighed-name
-highlighed-path
-highlighed-full-path-and-name

I'm just objecting to "containing only links". It is absolutely nothing special (except to Everything). A directory **IS** a list of links. All directories "contain only links". Hard links are bi-directional. If file2 is a hard link to file1 then, by definition, file1 is a hard l...

vfatica

You can reliably tell if a directory is empty, but right now, not with Everything. I would think it is less of a matter of whether you can or can't reliably tell, rather a matter that even if it is "empty" (meaning empty with only hard links inside, or even really empty), it is a director...

vfatica

empty: will find folders that are empty in the Everything index. They may not actually be empty on disk. This may occur if you exclude files, or as therube mentioned if they contain hardlinks. Please confirm folders are empty with File -> Properties (Alt + Enter) before deleting them. A hard link *...

vfatica

It appears to have to do with hard links. At the least, one of a pair (or more ?) of directories containing (only) hard links is considered "empty". To me, that behavior is wrong. We agree. (I would typically NOT use [any] empty directory remover within anything "Windows". [And ...

vfatica

Type: matches on the Type column, which appears to be the same as the Type column in Windows explorer (set by Windows as a description of the .xxx suffix of a file name). Thanks! That seems to be consistent behavior. And it explains how "type:Executable" turns into .JAR files. The default...

vfatica

You have to open the Folder name as shown in the Name field, not the Folder shown in the Path field. The former will be empty, the latter may not be. That's what I'm doing, with "empty:" as search criterion, I get, among other things, 82 objects in the "Name" column called "...

Are there any constants I can give to the "type:" function? I thought maybe I could use the built-in types but when I put the following strings in the Everything Search window, or use them in Everything_SetQuery(), I get peculiar results: type:Everything gives nothing type:Picture gives no...

vfatica

The search docs say the search specification "empty:" will "Search for empty folders". In my experience, it finds folders with no subfolders (empty or not). This is easy to see in the Everything search window. Enter "empty:" (no quotes) as the search spec ... scroll dow...

vfatica

This is an interesting topic. And while I don't think it's Everything's place to modify the file system, I can't even get off the ground. If I simply enter "empty:" (no quotes) in the Everything search string location, many of the folders listed are not empty. I've tried to attach a link (...

vfatica

When using"Everything_Query(TRUE)" and "for ( DWORD index = 0; index < Everything_GetNumResults(); index++ ) ...", is it guaranteed that folders will be returned before files? That seems to be the case.
Thanks!

Actually, it's 13 mount points, but they share only 3 GUIDs.

How does Everything use WM_USER? Please explain how Everything handles volumes without drive letters that are mounted in several places. I have a volume mounted on a "plugins" directory inside the install directory of 10 versions of the same product. Those mount points, and their contents,...

Good! Thanks! I'm OK for now.

Maybe you'd consider always enabling WM_COMMAND. ... ?

Changing the behavior was easy enough (and it works). // process-wide; will allow me to be elevated when service client is unelevated ChangeWindowMessageFilter(WM_COPYDATA, MSGFLT_ADD); I don't understand why everything32/64.dll doesn't, by default, use the Ex version to allow WM_COPYDATA.

My app doesn't create any windows. I'm getting results with Everything_GetResultPath() and Everything_GetResultFileName().

I have a console app that uses everything32.dll to do queries (notably Everything_Query() and Everything_GetResult*()). My normal set-up is: service running, client started unelevated. The app works fine unelevated. But if I try it elevated, queries just hang. Should I expect this to work? I could c...

vfatica

It works with all those changes.

vfatica

Thanks. How about the first post in this thread?

vfatica

I don't get that either. I'm accustomed to [^character_list]. But if I move the ']' in "[^]" elsewhere in the list, the search fails.

vfatica

The example given in the search docs, regex:[^]a-zA-Z0-9`~!@#$%^&*()[\;',<>./:">?{}|_+= -] to fine filenames containing non-ascii characters works as advertised, finding 10 files here. But if I remove the double quote from that list of characters, the search results are empty. I'd expect th...

My second post also stemmed from my misunderstanding of "rc:". All's OK for the moment.

vfatica

Regarding my first post in this thread ... Sorry! ... without fully understanding, I was expecting "rc:" to behave as "dm:" does. Now I understand what "rc:" does.

Another oddity: when I type the 'y' of the word "today", the files disappear.

I can't find Everything_Reset in the header, LIB, or DLL.

I modified dll.test.c to search for L"*" and to hang around for a while after the search. When the sample EXE started, its working set was about 3MB. After the search, its working set was about 32MB. Is there a way to free that memory?

Maybe implement an app that runs elevated and relays the messages from your unelevated app to Everything? This elevated app would need to call ChangeWindowMessageFilterEx to allow it to receive WM_COMMAND messages from your unelevated app. I'm just experimenting. It's extra apps (like the service) ...

vfatica

Sigh! My approach (Everything elevated from logon-triggered scheduled task) is quite sufficient for queries (that's what's most important). I was hoping to add extra functionality. But I can live without that since I have the tray icon.

Thanks, void

vfatica

Drat!

And the only way to run Everything un-elevated and have it catalog NTFS drives is to also use Everything running as a service ... right?

- Vince

vfatica

Thanks again. Hmmm! It's not working and I don't completely understand why. The instance of Everything.exe in question was started by a logon-triggered scheduled task as me and with the highest privileges. This way of starting it avoids the UAC prompt. I can find the window, but SendMessage() isn't ...

Thanks! Are those defines/examples in any of the source dowloads? I didn't see them. I was also going to ask about getting to "Options" that way.

How can I programmatically ask a running Everything to show its search window (or create a new one) as can be done via the tray interface?
Thanks.
