Of late I found Everything not listing a simple file "History .dat "in one of the program files folder, the dependency was too much I concluded it did not exist at all. Later I did find that it was there and Everything records other instances of existence but not the place which I would ha...

nagan

I think it is a feature to track recent changes , not a very important feature to have though some may like. You can search for discussions in this site. If enabled the listing of items is slightly delayed.....

Alduin's Khajiit wrote:version 1.2.1.371 and update says it is up to date

You are wrong. 658b is the latest. Try that..

nagan

Last , David was planning to bring the entire ambit of the search field from NTFS indexes rather than only 5 columns being done now, to eliminate entire delay. 2.Also there was some proprietary file handling system developed for Win8+ systems which he would want to crack on. 3.Also real time , indep...

nagan

Let us hope he turns back soon. Lot of bugs have cropped up. last month I thought the forum was down perhaps due to constant spambotting. Who has restored that? If it is indeed Void then there is some iota of hope...

nagan

Think when I tried sporadically it drew a blank. Good it has been restored. Was it by Void? When is he due , any idea?

nagan

Size queries do work and as Elbart says takes a huge time because it is not indexed by size.Hope you have got the latest beta. Void had proposed to read all the column details from NTFS journal itself , but seems to have gone on a long leave. Will have to wait till he comes...

nagan

Has Void gone to Mars? Why this huge disconnect? It does not bother a person much to inform that the devolopment will resume after x days.Or does he revel in such acts of disappearences....

nagan

Those files which are not found are hardlinks and unfortunately Everything lists only the main files.That is a limitation under the NTFS journal mode. If you add c: as a dir it will be shown.

nagan

It will not because the cache is not fully loaded. Made a similiar query and Void answered it.

nagan

I can tell you briefly. Menu>search>Add to filters. Here you can enter the search parameters , keyboard short cut key macro etc and OK them. You can tick Filters in Menu>View. From the filter box you can select your Rar filter. Alternately you can call it by a keyboard shortcut...Find for yourself a...

nagan

Confirmed Bug. Wonder when Void is going to look back at this forum. Any idea therube?

nagan

You have to create a file list with read extended information. The info is available in the forum and you might have to search for it...

nagan

Check if if it is 658b , the latest version. Also Win 7 has a rare peculiarity of not listing certain programs in the systray even though the program would have started. You can check it using Process Explorer.Looks more like a Win7 issue...

nagan

As for 658b which is a near perfect build (save very minor bugs), this should not occur . If the concerned files are updated as Folder or a FAT drive , it will update only as per the frequency you set in Tools>Options>Indexes>Folders for that particular drive/folder..

nagan

Would be safe to conclude this as a bug....

nagan

Sometimes even Windows can throw such errors , it it is unable to parse the file name. Earlier happened to me too.. Seems like Windows error..

nagan

Just as the title suggests, if I want to skip from the search results the hidden & system protected files, the two options (from Indexes / Exclude) that are supposed to do this aren't working. :( Hope you'll fix this soon. IMHO they work. After ticking the relevant boxes , you need to press App...

nagan

Will have to experiment with that? Sorry , not too clear with this? In my test case I had included only one drive d: in both NTFS and "Folders" . Hence dupe: in my case would return only duplicates from d:. The point is !dupe is listing some files which are also covered in dupe: , which c...

nagan

Folder indexing does work here. If a folder is already indexed , if there are any minor changes in size etc , F5 refresh will quickly reset the result list. Everything presently indexes only by Name...

nagan

For a test case I added d: to both NTFS indexes and to the folders. There are now no other drive/folder . After indexing dupe: lists duplicate files and !dupe: -non duplicate files. Surprisingly d: being a low capacity drive still lists around 20 non duplicate files. One amongst them is xyz.jpg. But...

nagan

Is d: a fat drive or a removable drive? In case it is a removable drive , and after removing the drive , database has been built fresh, d: will not be present. Other wise it works for me in 658b.
Anyway try "Force Rebuild" in Tools>Options>Indexes.

nagan

Try:
1.Enable the service by ticking Everything Service in Tools>Options>general.
2.Close Everything.In the properties of the Everything main program disable "Run as admin" . Restart Everything. See if this works...

nagan

I realize this is old news

. As of the present state , not much of a difference I would say. David is a world class magician , be it the development of a esoteric class product or doing the disappearing act which is the second time now.

. I hope he does not mind this gentle nudge.

nagan

First of all the Path should be set in the Environment variables (please google it to find how it is for your OS) , to your working es.exe folder.Then in the command prompt mode just typing es dude will list the files having the name dude. All the other search syntaxes for Everything works well in t...

nagan

I just thought that if you do something like sort by size that takes a long time that it would take a long time to build a database. If it builds that fast, why does it take so long to resort it? Both are different principles though. Sorting on any other than Name (Main) , Path , Type , Ext which a...

nagan

For whatever it is worth , it is better to have the Tools>Options>General>Home --Sort to "Name Ascending" as it usually was before this feature was introduced. In case you had made a sort earlier (for example Date created / modified or Size) , and then closed Everything ---if you open Ever...

vsub wrote:$exec("the xyplorer path" "%1")

Just adding to the reply. The entry to be changed/replaced is in the Open Path command line in the Tools>>Options>>General>>Context menu

$exec("%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" /select,"%1")

nagan

Though it will be audacious to expect the Developer to be present / replying on all days , it is quiet sad/disappointing to note a long absence. Hope Void has only taken a temporary break and comes back soon to take this magnificent product further to dizzy heights. Participation on a daily basis an...

Hi,
Anything further on this........

Is working fine in my Win 7 x 64. The show Window and new Window , both hot keys are working without a hitch.

Wonder if the "Boss"has gone on a sabbatical. It is nearly a week since he has responded to the posts. Hope he comes back soon!

nagan

Just to be clear, nagan, if you click into any another application - say, Firefox, and while in that other application's window, you press an Everything configured global hot key. Are you then taken out of the Firefox window and into an Everything window? Even as I was reading your post with ET res...

658b x64 I saw this event today on resume from Hibernation.Earlier I had minimised the ET Window with cache et all. The processor usage on resume was on for ET for quit some time, I tried to maximise the inactive Window which would not happen.Then I closed the program from systray which also brought...

nagan

Yes it does work.When the new window opens the cursor is positioned right at the search bar ready to take the new search , or if an existing Window is maximised the entire search query is highlighted which can be removed for a new search , if that is what you are reckoning? Is Tools>Options>Search -...

nagan

If I understood you properly..it is already there. Tools>Options>General>Keyboard .The top 4 choices specifically address your wants , and they are Global until of course they are not in conflict with a reserved key.

nagan

My point was...try typing dc The moment you type : everything will start a search on the whole hdd even if you wanted to type dc:today Typing t after that,everything will freeze for a second or two and then the message will appear asking you if you want to abort the search.If you abort it,when you ...

For some reason these files come at the last after Unicode files with Name index ascending. "Hilarious_Karate_Cat‬‏.flv", "‪Hilarious_Karate_Cat‬‏.gif", "‪Hilarious_Karate‬‏.gif", "‪Hilarious_‬‏.gif" Strangely "Copy of ‪Hilarious_Karate_Cat‬‏.gif" co...

I have not understood this properly. dm:thisweek returns 1/7/2013 -7/7/2013 and dm:lastweek returns 24/6 - 30/6 that is Mon-Sun cycle. If I checked for dm:thismon or dm:mon it returns blank and dm:lastmon returns 1/7/2013. When I checked yesterday dm:thismon returned 1/7/2013. This is in tune with a...

nagan

Thanks for the reply! I think the peak @ 115000 k or 115mb is peanuts compared to the lightning speed at which it would deliver the results for 1.27million files.Say an average of 11000+ files / mb. On an average the peak private byte 115mb is lesser than my Firefox peak.

nagan

@ Jerry Just a technical curiosity.. You sure would be using an OS Win 7 x 64 and above. In case all the USB drives totalling to 30TB as you mentioned is connected , what is the RAM consumption of Everything (say in the Task Manager or Process Explorer ) against the total number of files (the number...

nagan

What is the week cycle Mon-Sun or Sun-Sat?
I tried a search dc:lastsun today. Ideally it should return 30/6/2013 but it returns 23/6/2013. The same holds for last , past and prev. dc:sun returns 30/6/2013 which is fine as the latest Sunday.
Please ignore this if the cycle is set to Sun-Sat.

nagan

I really don't like that fact that everything immediately tries to search when you type a modifier...for example: If you type dc: it will immediately start scanning all files\folders even if you are typing dc: with intent to write something else too. This would seem an essential feature of search a...

nagan

Not too sure about the cause , but trying to exclude Everything from/in Antivirus or HIPS software can be a valid exercise to see any difference.I had an issue though not similar which was caused by the HIPS/Firewall app I have and solved after I excluded ET in it .

nagan

To get the current behavior you would have to use wholefilename:hello*world I renamed three gif files as HelloWorld , Hello World , Hello1234World. Using the wfn modifier as mentioned above does not show the results. But Hello*World* displays them as the trailing asterisk makes up for the gif exten...

658b x 86 This is just for information. I have a NTFS drive say E: . Option is to exclude hidden files. In the regular situation if Folder A which in turn has numerous folders and files within is hidden and then unhidden , what is displayed later is only Folder A. The immediate contents of folder A ...

nagan

Could the next update time against the listed folders be mentioned in date:hh:mm:ss .But that being transient data it will be quiet a task to refresh the option screen?

nagan

Finally , this is not a bug. The priority for functions may have to be changed form scan first to scan within results when nothing precedes them in the search box. If Everything is the filter , it builds up a good cache. If something else ,a faster search within the columns of the result.Also if an ...

nagan

but video: dc:2012 takes some time.Let us hope Void looks into it. It's little slower because you are doing scan on every single video file you have,not just the .mpg file(it's still way faster than dc:2012 without macro in front) Err...It was meant to be the video filter when chosen from the Searc...

nagan

@vsub You have a point here. Perhaps I was doing a query where it had already been done.So if it was a new ET opening every time .zip dc:today is immediate compared to dc:today with the zip filter (search .zip) on which inevitably scans the whole database again (or the cache if it is a recently clos...

nagan

Let me recount my experience with similar circumstances in XP SP 3 ET 658b 1.The first time you open/maximise the ET window in a session and make a query or sort , ET is going to take a very huge time since it creates a cache from the disk and the speed is around 340k /unit time whereas the database...
