Everything uses up to or more than 8 GB RAM (after clicking the bookmark to save the database):

And Everything after kepts the 8 GB of the RAM.

Is there a way to avoid that?

Is there a way to release the RAM without exiting Everything?

Biff

That USB stick is not scaned automatically https://i.imgur.com/c2Kh84d.png When I press the "Rescan now" Button nothing happens. And the new items are not added to the volume. Respecteively they are not shown. Now it suddenly is scaned, I do not know why. Two or more different Everything w...

Biff

Yes, thank you very much, I really appreciate that very much.

If only there weren't all this (unknown) information that you wouldn't want to leave the computer especially with these huge logs that cannot be controlled due to the sheer volume.

Biff

OK, thank you.

It looks like it would become a huge log, already 65.000 lines after 1, 3 minutes or so running the dubugging.

Actually I could imagine that there is a very high chance that it is simply my garbage computer causing the high CPU usage.

Biff

Holy...OK, I think I lack this ability to combine things, very sorry. So the CPU numbers. Do you see the same numbers without content-searching? No, I don't. content-searching with numbers like 80 has by far the highest CPU numbers, if I remember / understand correctly. 25, 40 numbers of RAM when Ev...

Biff

Just realized that this issue might be related to your high-CPU usage during content-searching (mentioned in this thread). Yes, so it can certainly be. There the CPU usage is high because of the content search, here it uses so much CPU without me using Everything. Do you see the same numbers withou...

Biff

Thank you very much! So content_max_threads works for content searches only. So there are 12 of them: https://i.imgur.com/FNEOGbl.png Obviously content searches will take a longer time this way. Yes, the drawback. I will try some different amounts of processors. Content searching with 80 % CPU alrea...

Biff

I believe @void when he says that there is not a lot of personal data in these dump files. Yes, if he said so, in any case, of course, me too. Unfortunately not a lot of personal data (in relation to non-private data in the log), is not no private data. And (even) a (little) log might contain extre...

Biff

Is there a way to avoid Everything using 80 % of CPU (when searching for content):

Biff

Yes yes, I understand. But actually I would like to take a little look at the content of that log. So many logs contain so much private information....

Biff

OK, thank you. So there is no other way than to install one of these programs to see the content.

Biff

OK.

How could I see the content of that dump file?

Biff

Everything often uses about 25, 40 % of RAM and is often greyed out when trying to access it. In the status bar it reads "Rescanning:...D:" altought that USB stick is not plugged in:

Is there anything I could do to avoid the high CPU usage / no response?

Biff

Thank you!

Only the ones not yet indexed.

Oh sorry, I meant:

If I remove a drive while the properties are being indexed, will the properties be fully indexed from the start or just the ones that aren't already indexed?

Biff

OK. At the moment there are no UAC prompts anymore, I didn't change anything after checking the check boxes the last time and then restarting Everything after UAC prompts still occurred and kept occurring after restarting Everything. However, now, after restarting the computer there aren't anymore. ...

Biff

How can I find out of whicht drive the properties are indexed at the moment?

When I remove a drive, will the properties be indexed completely from the beginning or only the ones not yet being indexed?

Biff

Yes yes, that is what I meant, why do I need them although Everything obviously does not run with admin rights anymore? How could I turn them off? So the UAC will not pop up anymore?

Biff

Although Everything no longer runs with admin rights, the UAC still appears, for example when you click OK / Apply?

Biff

Oops, oops, somehow these recommendations seem to confuse me, sorry. And everything else. I suspect there isn't much left that still could be wrong now (but maybe still enough): https://i.imgur.com/lgYY3bW.png I guess, this is not possible: Is there a way to keep such settings when (re) installing a...

Biff

Everything 1.5 will never recommend running as administrator. The Everything 1.5 installer will recommend the Everything service. The portable Everything 1.5 will recommend running the indexing process as administrator. Oops, sorry, reading is obviously not my forte as well. So indexing as admin ob...

Biff

When I started Everything the first time after having done the new Win installation it shows a Window whether to run Everything as Administrator or with that Service? Next to run as Administrator it said "(recommended)". So this is better as using the service? Before I always had that serv...

Biff

So there is nothing to worry about (e.g. the properties are all kept when changing a drive letter, no new idexing needed, etc.).

Many thanks!

Biff

I want to install a new Win 11. Should you pay attention to anything regarding the drive letters, which have to be changed for each drive in the operating system after installation? For example, if I subsequently change the drive letter D: that the operating system automatically assigned by Win 11, ...

Biff

Oh, that' s great! Thank you very much!

Biff

Disable indexing of these properties under Tools -> Options -> Properties (You'll loose the information for offline volumes) Sorry, I do not understand at all. I have to disable (does that mean to remove e.g. Available Disk Size here? Or is there a special option for disabling?) https://i.imgur.com...

Biff

Great! Thank you very much!

Biff

That's great, many thanks!

Biff

Could one save the current (search result with) selections, e.g.:

So that you don't have to manually search for / mark them all again if necessary.

Biff

Could one open an exact copy (same filter / search, marked drive in the folder panel, etc.) of the window just being shown or a special window in a new tab or window, e.g. by pressing a shortcut, for example CTRL+T? Or in another way duplicate a tab, e.g. by dragging and dropping a tab with the mouse?

Biff

Could one show Available Disk Size and Total Size for example here (or in the folder panel):

Biff

Ideally, Everything should update the volume label. Oops, okey, alright, very confusing for me, sorry. So at the moment generally actually one had to reindex evey new drive (after Everything automatically had indexed one), since one (I guess) usually would rename the drive's label to one's need. So...

Biff

This is useful if the volume goes offline. Sorry for my bad understanding, what for is it useful to now have an old / not existing label? And why apparently only when the hard drive is offline? Everything currently does not expect the label to change. Oops! Why? Is that so unusual? I'll look into i...

Biff

Thank you!

That does not mean that every property / file will be indexed like the first time lasting some hours or longer?

Why does Everything not automatically change / adapt the label? So what sense does that make, what is the advantage to keep the old label?

Biff

I renamed the label

of the 20 TB drive in the disk management in Win.

How could I make everything take over the new name?

Biff

Yes, probably no such tag to be found.

Many thanks!

Biff

Is there a tag / label that would indicate which source a video comes from? E.g. whether from a DVD, BluRay, YouTube, a streaming service, etc.?

Biff

Ah, that is great, thank you very much!

Biff

Ah, OK, I see.

Biff

Your Z: drive appears to be online so should have the correct properties. I generally is offline, when I connect it those values are updated, when I plug it off then the values are kept (the last time at least). You don't have to do anything, you can plug the drive back in if you wanted this inform...

Biff

Thank you! Everything tried to gathered the property values for these volumes when they were offline. So obviously it did not do that before. Everything will periodically try to update your volume properties. I thought it would do it when the drives are online. This will help prevent updating volume...

Biff

What's the problem with the age ?
Do you think that software gets worse just by being many years old?

I am not sure, may be some does.

But I am afraid, I have some problems with command lines somehow.

Biff

Why are the values of columns like "Available Free Disk Size", etc. suddenly empty after plugging off a drive? https://i.imgur.com/DsClsAs.png When I connect N: those values are shown, when I disconnect it (with "savely remove") they are not. What could I do to always show them (...

Biff

OK, thank you, seems to be 7 years old.

Biff

Oops, well, yes, sometimes there is a lack of responsibility, indeed.

No no, no problem with it, one of the backups sometime just overwrote the one with the old ini file.

Biff

No, no, no need for apologies. Works great now

And besides, it just is an alpha version, so something like that (and even much worse) can happen, I guess.

Biff

The old open_file_commands ini setting was removed. And there is no backup of it, I assume. OK, so there is no way to get my code back, I just have to add the programs / extensions again I added to that code here. custom_open_commands has the same functionality, plus a few extra things like adding ...

Biff

OK.

That sounds great.

Many thanks!

Biff

Ah, super, works again! Thank you very much! The original (edited) code (being in the older Everything version) [{"filter"="*.3g2;*.3gp;*.3gp2;*.3gpp;*.amr;*.amv;*.asf;*.avi;*.bdmv;*.bik;*.d2v;*.divx;*.drc;*.dsa;*.dsm;*.dss;*.dsv;*.evo;*.f4v;*.flc;*.fli;*.flic;*.flv;*.hdmov;*.ifo;*.iv...

Is it possible to search txt files in the preview?

I cannot find open_file_commands anymore. And it does not seem to work anymore. What am I missing?
