Fantastic! That did the trick. Thank you very much. 1.4 is back to working properly.
Is there a similar settings tweak for 1.5 that will let me use it concurrently with 1.4?
Is there a reason 1.5 didn't install to C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a?

Ghopper

Hi, I recently installed 1.5 and am having some trouble. The first thing that seems strange is that it didn't install to C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a. Instead, it installed to the folder that I ran the exe file from. I don't remember seeing an option to do that. Second, I can't find an uninstall...

Ghopper

- Now DisplayFusion works on Word files opened from 1.5, but not 1.4.

Ghopper

Thanks for the suggestions. I followed those instructions a number of times. Each time, as soon as I selected filter.csv from 1.4 and clicked Open, the list of filters was populated with many duplicates, e.g. Audio/Audio 2, Compressed/Compressed 2, Document/Document 2, Executable/Executable 2. etc. ...

Ghopper

The 1.5 sidebar options under View (to show Folders & Filters) is very cool.

Ghopper

I might have done something wrong, but I ended up with apparent duplicates of some filters after importing them from 1.4. For example, 1.5 shows "Audio" and "Audio 2"; "Document" and "Document 2"; "Executable" and "Executable 2" etc. It als...

Ghopper

I just did this for settings, bookmarks, filters, and search history, and it was very easy.
I really appreciate the clarity of the instructions.

Ghopper

Fantastic! Thank you

Ghopper

That sounds great.
From what you're saying I guess that installing 1.5 won't affect my existing installation and continued use of 1.4?
And after installing 1.5, I can copy my .ini file from 1.4, rename it Everything-1.5a.ini, and replace the file that is named that in 1.5?

Ghopper

Nirlauncher sure has a lot of things it can do. Seems like Traybar stopped development a long time ago. Not sure it would work with anything more recent than Windows XP or 98.

Ghopper

"right?" Yeah, that's true, unless it's something so good that nothing else compares. Personally, I'm basically most interested in officework-type productivity programs that let you find things, organize things, access things, conduct and organize research, fix simple/common computer probl...

Ghopper

It's amazing to think that 1.5 is even better than 1.4. Mr. Carpenter is a genius.
Rescanning doesn't seem like a big deal at all.
Do you know if I can use the same .ini file from my 1.4 installation in 1.5 (and preserve all my settings)?

Ghopper

Wow, thanks for that info. I had no idea.

Are there any reasons to refrain from starting to use Everything 1.5 at this point in time?

Ghopper

Thanks for those suggestions. I didn't know that XYPlorer and Directory Opus could do that. Instant File Opener just feels kind of awkward and slow for me to use. It's good, and it's pretty ridiculous for me to look gift horse in the mouth, but I can't help but feel like there might be something bet...

Ghopper

Thanks for these suggestions. Proving that great minds think alike, I've used about 80% of these. I never tried 7+ Taskbar Tweaker but it looks interesting and I think I will. I'll also re-try Quick Access Popup. I remember thinking it was impressive and I don't remember why I stopped using it. It's...

Ghopper

Can anyone suggest a program that will let me easily create sets of frequently-used files, grouped by project or topic? When I start working on a given project, I generally have to open a number of files that I'll need to cross-reference and refer to while I'm working on that project, and it takes w...

Ghopper

On the theory that people who love Everything are clearly smarter than everyone else, I thought I'd ask for recommendations of any other programs that you find exceptionally useful.

Ghopper

Everything is one of the best programs ever created. It feels a bit presumptuous to make a suggestion, but since there's a dedicated section here, I guess I will. I often enter a search term, then want go back to the immediately preceeding search term. From my perspective it'd be nice if there were ...

Ghopper

I just noticed something strange. On my computer, the Processes tab of Windows Task Manager always shows two listings for Everything. One typically uses approximately 60k of working memory and the other typically uses approximately 3k. After creating a couple of shortcut-based filter searches as des...

Ghopper

Re my erroneous assertion that there's no easy way to see that a filter is being used, you pointed out: "Double click the divider between the search bar and filter bar to swap sides." Wow, that's great. It completely solved my imaginary problem. I don't know how I never noticed that before...

Ghopper

Fantastic. That worked. It seems that my problem is that I was drafting the searches in a Word document (so I could keep track of what I had tried) then copying them from Word into the Everything filter organize/edit dialog box. But Word was creating "smart" (fancy curly) quotes, and appar...

Ghopper

I just noticed that my post didn't match what I wrote. There are 6 spaces between the dash and the word Microsoft, but only 1 space appeared in my post. Do I include those 6 spaces in the search? Also in trying this I've been organizing/editing the original search I created with the shortcut (above)...

Ghopper

Fantastic, thanks. I am not sure what you mean by “use double quotes to escape spaces.” The folders I’d like to have searched in this filter each have names consisting of more than one word with a space between each word. I put double quotes where you put single quotes in your example, but it didn’t...

Ghopper

Wow, that's great! Thank you very much for the detailed reply. I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly. Is it possible to limit the scope of such a shortcut filter to multiple selected folders on selected drives, instead of entire drives? I never noticed that the name of the active filt...

Ghopper

Thank you very much for the detailed reply. Would doing that enable the second instance to have different option settings than the initial instance (for example, different indexed drives, different excluded filetypes, and different fonts and colors)? My reason for wanting two instances is because I ...

Ghopper

Before asking a question, I want to again express my appreciation and admiration for the creator of Everything. This program is absolutely indispensable: it’s extremely well designed, amazingly versatile, and incredibly useful. Thanks for creating it! And thanks also for making it better and better!...

Ghopper

Thanks! That solved the problem. I must have somehow inadvertently clicked the whole word option without knowing it. I always knew that the problem originated with me and not the program (operator error), but I couldn't figure out how to fix it. Thank you for diagnosing it so quickly. My installatio...

Ghopper

Thanks for the quick reply Mr. Void! There were 3 boxes checked under “Search:” - Fast ASCII search - Match path when a search term contains a path separator - Match whole filename when using wildcards I unchecked them all (leaving no boxes checked), restarted it, and forced an index rebuild. It did...

Ghopper

Hello, Everything is one of the greatest programs ever created, and I think the author is a genius. In an age when every incompetent loser and his brother is publishing stupid “apps” to “monetize” (why has the word “monetize” replaced the phrase “hawk a worthless product?”) their dumb ideas, the aut...

Ghopper

I completely agree with the original poster: Everything is the best Windows program I've ever used, bar none. It's a work of absolute genius. I wanted to chime in regarding metadata from the perspective of someone who doesn't know what XMP is. It'd be great if metadata/tags for all Windows file type...

Ghopper

Thanks! That did it.

Ghopper

Hello, Everything is one of the best programs ever made. My deepest respect to the developer. I just installed v. 1.4.1.877x64. The new features are absolutely fantastic. Previews, thumbnails, folder-sizes... It’s all simply amazing. Probably due to my incompetence, I have one minor problem. If I ru...

Ghopper

Hi, I've been using Everything for years and it's utterly indispensable - one of the best programs in the history of programming. It’s presumptuous to submit a suggestion regarding a program that’s almost as perfect as things are possible to get in this world, but I’ll do so anyway. It’d be nice if ...

Ghopper

I re-installed the program and it fixed itself. Thanks Maybe someone might know the answer to another question: Before running the disk cleaners, I simultaneously used both the 64bit and the 32bit versions of Everything on a routine basis. It was nice because you can set each version to use a differ...

Ghopper

Hi, I've been using Everything for years and it's utterly indispensable - one of the best programs in the history of programming. Which makes the problems I've caused all the worse. I just ran 3 disk cleanup programs: CCleaner, Wise Disk Cleaner 8, and Glary Utilities Disk Cleanup. Doing so seems to...
