Requests for future enhancements to the the color filters feature - In addition to color allow using any emoji symbol, shown as prefix in the first column for matching files. - keyboard shortcuts to add/remove selected file(s) to a color filter - search functions to list files matching a color filte...

I think zuzu_kuc asked about setting a color for individual files, one by one. That seems different from the current color filters which applies a color to all files of a specific type. I also think It would be useful to have a quick way to add/remove a a label to individual files so I'll add some t...

Why not just start with AutoHotkey and if you ever find something it cannot do then try the others.

While waiting for built in synonyms it is pretty easy to do this kind of replacement with an AutoHotkey script. #Requires AutoHotkey v2 Synonyms := Map("sewage treatment plant", "STP" , "Constructed wetlands", "CW" , "Horizontal subsurface filter", &...

Thank you for making Everything awesome!

This feature has already been added . $number0: $number00: $number000: $number0000: $number00000: ... etc. Oh nice thank you for already requesting it and thanks void for implementing! I would mildy prefer $numberN: where N is a number instead of those multiple zeros. For example $number20: is nice...

Feature requests. 1. Add a padded number syntax similar to the existing $number: but prefix pad with zeros. The syntax might be $padnumber<N>: where N is number of digits to output. For example rename files x.txt and y.txt with pattern %1$padnumber4:.%2 to get x0001.txt and y0002.txt 2. add a shortc...

Add support for date syntax dm:YYMMDD , that is year-month-day with two digits for each segment. For example the date 2022-11-23 is 221123 in the YYMMDD format. Existing 1.5 date syntax supports YYYYMM[DD[Thh[mm[ss[.sss]]]]] and I don't suggest removing that. Instead add a setting that toggles inter...

@void Thank you

Thanks also therube for making me aware of the wildcard support in v1.5. It wouldn't have helped in a recent case where I ran into CLI path max length trouble, but I'm sure I'll find use for it in some other cases.

We can open the multi file renaming window from CLI with filepaths as separate parameters -rename [filename1] [filename2] [filename3] [...] https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/command_line_options/#multi_file_renaming In the case of many files with long paths this can hit the maximum CLI pa...

It depends on the filename used in the USN Journal event. It would be useful to know the answer to this: If a user in tests notices that Everything 1.5 does detect hardlink deletion on a particular SSD drive then can the user rely on that being the case also going forward, for that particular drive...

nod5

(I had it on my list to inquire about just this...) In my tests Everything 1.5 does detect when a hardlink file on a regular SSD NTFS drive is deleted. In that regard, I'll just note that hardlink deletions were not detected on HDD on my end. That's interesting. If the dependency is "If enough...

Got it, thanks.

Press F5 to reload sfv, md5sum, sha1sum and sha256sum cache. Ok. Yes after F5 press v1.5 does notice if the .sha256 file in/out of the test folder, though it still seems to not work all the time or with delay, but I can't yet pinpoint the issue more exactly. To be fair I have so far only tested thi...

I found no option to change the color of the active column header (red arrow). Changing the result bg color for the active column (blue arrow) does not affect the header color. Bug? Intended? Todo?

Thanks. With the format "<hash><space><space><filename>" for the .sha1 file I can get 1.5 to find the matching file. But I now encountered another issue: if I delete the .sha1 file Everything still shows the match for the search. Example search: C:\checksum\a.txt sha1sum-sha1:a94a8fe5ccb19...

Thanks for the reply. Force rebuild works but takes a bit of time to finish. Idea: Could Everything have an option to frequently check the existence of the hardlink files it has indexed? In use cases with not very many individual hardlink files (I'm not suggesting this for hardlink folders) this mig...

Thanks for considering :) Changing the sort order via the search is in development, so you could include something like the following in your filter's search: sort:size-descending Nice.

Funny. Was just thinking about it and came up with the same idea! :) As long as it ends the autofill when I type ":\" (I use that a lot: :\TEMP to only get the rootfolders TEMP) :) I hope an autosuggest feature could be made compatible with that use case. - Sublime (editor) uses Ctrl-P to...

I understand the frustration with having to type function: I'll be reviewing auto complete in Everything 1.5, and also adding support for customizing the main UI so you can have a size bar, date modified bar etc..

Feature suggestion: Add a custom command, and customizable keyboard shortcut, to go to (select and scroll to) the first file/folder in the results list. The shortcut could be a toggle: if the current selection is a folder then then jump to select the first file. And vice versa. With first file/folde...

Now I think it is caused by all the extra info that isn't (by default) in the database, like attributes. Index those and you will get results much quicker. Possible. I'll test that later. Though I guess that would lead to Everything itself indexing the disks slower. I hope the Everything dev, void,...

The new ES is great! Dramatic speed improvement when saving whole drive .efu files from command line compared to old method using everything.exe command line.

I request a command line option to do what "file > export" does in the GUI. The command line has a "-create-filelist" command but that is a very slow in comparison. When I do "file > export" on a SSD drive with search string "C:\" the save is immediate. When I...

Hi, I'm glad to hear that. And yeah some of my hotkey choices weren't so good. I guess the best approach is to mimic Explorer where possible. Alt+Up or Backspace for parent folder. Enter to navigate into a folder. Alt+left/right for back/forward. Plus one more to start/exit folder browsing mode. Alt...

A heads up for anyone monitoring this thread for changes. I made a small tool with hotkeys for browsing efu files in Everything
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5635&p=15436#p15436 I hope the Everything developer makes that functionality native.

nod5

No love for this? I should add that the tool is merely a few extra hotkeys that make use of the "parent:" command and other built in Everything commands. These are its features: Press Enter or Alt+Enter or Alt+Right on a .efu file in Everything = start efu browse mode In efu browse mode: A...

nod5

Everything is great but, like some others in the forum have already requested, a mode to browse folders like in Explorer could be useful. Especially when indexing discs or drives to .efu file lists. With such a folder explorer mode Everything could replace some standalone disc cataloging tools. Soun...
