David, you mentioned that exporting as a txt file keeps the index journal..Gave it a try, but I couldn't see where the index journal entries are.

Also, is it possible, when saving as an EFU, to also save the index journal?

harryray2

David, on the subject of Tor, do you have any idea of a way to get Tor to respect the hosts file, rather than bypass it?
I don't rally use Tor for privacy as such, but more of a way to access some sites that are blocked when using my usual Firefox browser.

harryray2

Doesn't Tor normally bypass the hosts file?

harryray2

Thanks, Indeed I am, but it's strange, as this is also happens when I run Tor, which ignores the hosts file.
But the main thing that baffles me is why this has suddenly appeared, and why my computer is trying to connect to it.

harryray2

I just noticed that it's 0-0-----------------------------------------------------------0.com, the .com bit got chopped off.

What I don't understand is why it's showing as a local, and a remote address.

harryray2

Looking at my Internet connections, a local and remote address of:
0-0-----------------------------------------------------------0
Has appeared. Any idea what this is please?
On one of the connections, instead of a number, CIFS is showing, I've no idea what this is either.

I forgot to ask, by adding and-filter: to the start of the filters, does it affect the operation of the filter in any way, when using the filter normally?

harryray2

Thanks, I forgot about the literal operators in options. It makes sense now.

harryray2

Brill...Thanks.

harryray2

Thanks, it's a bit of a chore, but I'll have to go through all the filters. I assume there's no quick way of doing this except to go through the filters one by one?

harryray2

David, I have a weird problem...I have some files that end with DO NOT DELETE.7z When I search for the file name, or just DO NOT DELETE there are no results. If I search in lower case, the files appear. Even stranger, if I just put in DO NO, I get results, but no results if I search for DO NOT. If I...

harryray2

Thanks, I'll start with a relatively simple example... If I use the sidebar, highlight multiple filters by using the ctrl key, and chose some inbuilt filters, such as audio,compressed and video together it appears to work. Everything shows me mp4, mp3, rar files etc. About 23,000 files altogether If...

harryray2

Sorry David, not sure if I'm being dense, but I just don't get this.

When I try to combine several filters in the sidebar, it doesn't work.
Am I missing something?

harryray2

Apologies if I'm being a bit dense about this, I tried the and:filter on 4 filters, and it appears to work, so if there is no quicker option it looks like I will have to change each filter individually. I'm also wondering if putting in the and-filter: will have any unexpected results. I also just tr...

harryray2

I'm a bit baffled by this, are you saying that when choosing multiple filters, they aren't all enabled? How do I enable AND, when choosing multiple filters in the sidebar, so that all the filters are taken into consideration? Update: I think I've got this, adding and-filter: to the filters seems to ...

harryray2

Thanks, I've tried my custom filters DC:last10mins' with 'search on all drives except c:' and 'exclude Firefox and Tor'. All these filters work fine individually, but not together. If I use the 'compressed' and 'folder' and 'file' (which I think was already on Everything, as I can't remember putting...

harryray2

It varies, but If I want to copy to various folders, I simply highlight the folders in everything, copy the original file or folder, and use paste, either from the context menu, or from the Everything menu bar. The other thing that I do is use the 'paste to parent folder' from the Everything context...

harryray2

I can't help regarding Robocopy, but I use Teracopy, as I like the file verification option, I will have to check, but I don't think Teracopy changes the timestamps when used with Everything.

harryray2

Thanks, I did try selecting multiple filters in the sidebar but it doesn't appear to work.

It appears to work with the preset filters such as video, audio, executable etc, but doesn't appear to work when I choosing the filters that I've created.

harryray2

Vovsoft do something called "copy files into multiple folders"..
There is also, at the moment, a giveaway offer on it. One just has to enter the published serial number.

harryray2

Both have slightly different capabilities...I haven't had need to use them for a while, as I try to use Everything to look at shadow copies when I can, but I seem to remember that Shadow explorer had a search facility. I suppose it's an annoying problem with many programmes that serve a similar purp...

harryray2

I use Nirsoft shadow viewer, and shadowcopy view.
I tried using Shadow explorer, whilst it worked OK, I found that the restore point that I was viewing got deleted.

Have you come across this problem?

harryray2

I'm more on Harry's side than yours, Horst. I've long thought that multi-stage exclude lists would be a boon. In different circumstances - think of during a Zoom meeting demos - I don't want/need to show photos of my family hounds, but otherwise I would. Almost invariably I would exclude the recycl...

harryray2

Is it possible, from the sidebar, to use two or more filters at once?
Thanks.

harryray2

The problem is..there are various directories I want excluded permanently, irrespective of whether exclude, or omissions is enabled/disabled. In my existing lists, there are directories that are excluded for specific purposes, which are enabled as the need arises. As I mentioned, I need a 'set and f...

harryray2

@notnull...Thanks, but I don't have the results omissions list enabled all the time...

harryray2

Phrede..Yes, a secondary list would be useful.
I can't really find a way round this other than to use another instance of Everything, it's far from ideal though.

harryray2

Possibly a secondary exclusion list?

harryray2

I don't want to add it to the existing exclude option, as I also use the exclude every so often.
I'm looking for a way to basically 'set and forget'.
Using exclude and omissions is no good for me as I toggle these on and off.

harryray2

No good either I'm afraid. I frequently the results omission list..
What I need is something that will permanently exclude a particular directory across all drives. Along the lines of the exclude option in settings.

harryray2

Thanks, the problem is that I use various filters fairly frequently, and I don't want to have to change them all.

harryray2

I have my exclude list in options, which I enable every so often. Is it possible to have a separate, different, exclusion list, which I can leave permanently enabled, containing files and folders that I never want included in searches?

Thanks.

harryray2

Thanks, I've just noticed that if I highlight different directories in the folder sidebar this does the same job, but slightly easier.

harryray2

I want to search three different directories in one window (tab), can I do this from the context menu?
I tried highlighting the three directories, then used the context menu to open them, but Everything opened three different windows (tabs).

harryray2

Is it possibly classed as a system file as well? To see system files in Explorer the system has to be set to show these as well.

harryray2

Possibly this? Thumbs.db, on my system is a hidden file..It will show up in everything, but not in Explorer unless you have the system set to show hidden files.

harryray2

The tooltip (when hovered) seems like a good idea to quickly see a description of the bookmark

harryray2

A stream doesn't appear to survive if one compresses the file with 7-zip

harryray2

What does extended information do?

Thanks.

harryray2

I'll second that, it's something I've wanted for quite a while...I have gazillions of bookmarks, and The ones that I don't use on a regular basis have become a bit of a mystery to me as to what they do :shock: What I have been doing, which is very messy, is to put a description of the bookmark in th...

harryray2

Thanks all...

harryray2

Do you know if the free version of Treesize is able to hash folders?
Thanks.

harryray2

Apologies if I've asked this before, I can't remember...

Is it possible to find duplicates by using a hash in Everything?

How do I enable the hash computing function?

harryray2

I'm using 1355a..I can find this entry in the ini file, but not any other item beginning with context_menu_

harryray2

I also have a problem with filemenutools on the context menu in the sidebar of Everything.. On the context menu it just shows as a series of blank spaces.
Void is looking into the problem.

I like filemenutools but it can be unstable at times.

harryray2

Is there anyone in Everything land that's aware of any (preferably free) programme that has a fuzzy search to find dupes that aren't exact please?

Thanks.

harryray2

Thanks David, a fuzzy search would be brilliant..

Is there a way of refining this so that it only shows results that are not exact duplicates?

harryray2

Is it possible to find duplicates that aren't exactly the same? Possibly some sort of 'fuzzy' search. For example: Freedailymotiondownload.exe 1.2.3.4 Freedailymotiondownload.exe 2.3.4.5 Freedailymotiondownload.exe or: test Freedailymotiondownload.exe 1.2.3.4 tester Freedailymotiondownload.exe 1.2.3...

harryray2

It was also in the previous version. Clicking a folder in the main search window doesn't cause a problem.. While on the subject, If I select two or more folders in the sidebar and use my search Everything context entry, separate windows for each directory open. Is it possible to show the results fro...

I use a programme called 'filemenutools'. When I click on a folder using the folders sidebar to bring up the context menu, the entry for filemenutools is blank (although it does still function).
