Everything 1.5 will show offline files dimmed. You can then drag the dimmed files to the search box to search for them. yes. But M$ has trained us to db-click things like files and folders to open them. after 30some years it's second nature. Can we have that in Ev instead of an error message ? I me...

Rene

what happens when you db-click on a drive or folder that is not connected?

do you get an error message?

Rene

Hey guys, when I double click on a file or folder that is offline, I get an error message saying the drive is not accessible. How about instead, Everything could just open a new Ev window or tab showing said object and files from its database. is this currently possible in Everything or did I miss t...

Rene

Thank you, that helps

Rene

Thank you for considering this. the zoom is unfortunately necessary, but my main suggestion to tweak or optimize the editor's screen is mainly one of compromise on my part because of bad eye sight. And like you said the zoom factors in. if i were to set the zoom in Windows and Everything back to nor...

Rene

The filter editor and the bookmark editors need to shrink more when resizing the window. Notice all that ugly gray area? That's free space we can use when resizing the window. But also, since the dropdowns on the left just represent boolean values, i suggest to change them to checkboxes and set them...

Rene

Faaassst-cinating!

xxHash also has XXH32, so welcome back Everything x86.

Rene

come to think of it, i also find it odd that the alpha version currently installed does not check by default for the alpha releases. Just to wait for the forum notification, when the mechanism exists in the program. how about this suggestion: since we are testing for bugs and whatnot, wouldn't it ma...

Rene

thank you for your help figuring this out David

I'll try to do a fresh install of my Qnap to further test my hunch

Rene

Tested UAC, so after enabling it and rebooting, now Ev runs as a normal user not admin. but the shares still show as offline. Also now when I check Run as admin in options/general, it restarts right-away as admin with the uac prompt, standard behaviour. No prompt after reboot, also normal. but share...

Rene

Everything still running as admin? What does Process Explorer show for Everything.exe? -What is the parent process? -Is the parent process also running as admin? -Everything still running as admin? yes as admin. parent processes are wininit.exe\services.exe and explorer.exe both admin top processes

Rene

Is Everything listed in your registry under: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers Please make sure Everything is running as a standard user: Right click your Everything.exe or a shortcut to Everything Click Properties. Click the Compatibility tab. Cli...

Rene

ok so i cleaned out all regs that have anything to do with everything64 all folders in c: scanned for viruses, mbam too. system is clear. installed ev1335a and it too is doing it, showing shares as offline. Curiouser and curiouser I'm thinking it's something else than everything. sfc and dism are next

Rene

yep, directly with the exe

maybe it's something in the registry. uninstalling Ev leaves some reg entries but before cleaning them up, I'm looking through them to see if anything is out of sorts, not that I know what I'm looking for.

I'll reboot after and reinstall ev1337a to see...

Rene

that's exactly what I've done and I just have no idea what makes it run as admin.

the Ev service works fine, no problem there.

but the program is just starting in admin for some reason.

no multiple copies of Everything, just the alpha.

Rene

oh and ps: Ev launches as admin every time, regardless of the checkbox.

the word Administrator appears in the top of the window.

i deleted the shortcuts and relaunched Ev directly with the exe, still happens.

Rene

Hi Void i've just deleted my ini file and launched Ev and started debug logging. i set the options as you requested and restarted Ev. After restarting the Run as administrator is square-checked. it was unchecked before restarting, so i re-re-unchecked it and restarted Ev and sure enough it's back to...

Rene

Just curious if anyone else has noticed that?

Also my USB drives that aren't connected, do have the online color.

Rene

hi void, welcome back !

ev is missing some properties for mkv files, the Video bit rate and Audio bit rate, there maybe others.

but most other props work fine, lenght, resolution, etc.

Rene

I've checked the auto include and remove checkboxes and then I read through the ini file, I found that everything does write the values but after relaunching is doesn't read them right auto_include_fixed_volumes=1 auto_include_removable_volumes=1 auto_remove_offline_ntfs_volumes=1 auto_remove_moved_...

The command line is the default one, here is the console output: Everything Version 1.5.0.1300a (x64) Windows NT 10.0 Processors 4 IsAdmin 0 AppData 1 Service 1 cmdline "C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" SetActiveWindow failed 00000000 WM_ACTIVATE 0000000000000000 00000000...

Rene

I noticed the checkboxes in settings -> Fat, NTFS, REFS and Network drives are always unchecked after closing Everything through File -> Exit and relaunching it again. I've tested with Everything running as admin, as non admin, with or without the service, no difference. i even ran the /flush_file_b...

Rene

in the indexed Properties i think there might be a mix up with the property Video format where it shows the "codec id" i was expecting to see the Video Format instead, for example according to mediainfo: Format : HEVC Format/Info : High Efficiency Video Coding Format profile : Main 10@L3@M...

Rene

Ah, I see. In that case: Go to Menu:Tools > Options > Indexes > Properties Click the Add button In the Search box, type label Double-click Volume Label Press the OK button Back in the main Everything window, right-click the result list header and choose Add Colums In the left pane, Choose Everythin...

Rene

thank you, i look forward to trying this feature out!

Rene

Thanks i read that information already, i guess this is the next level of ETP server, but with possible multiple user creds. That's all good but if the server isn't up and running, do the clients retain the information ? More importantly is there a way to use this new server on a Qnap or Synology NA...

Rene

Network drives?

Well drives do appear in Network Drives but this Network index, is something else entirely.

Please have a look at the Screenshot i provided.

Rene

I'm not clear on 'Network index' in Tools

Options

Indexes

network index

What is it and how do we use it ?

does this work with vertical taskbar also ?

Rene

i like this idea, in fact i've been seriously thinking about suggesting a new feature for Everything that goes in the same vein :idea: :idea: :idea: See, i've been using Everything everyday for a few weeks while i'm trying to sort and organise my stuff, i mean a huge boatload of files (or is it butt...

Rene

yes it also states 2gb of ram, mine only has 256MB.Point is Qsirch is not an option. What i would like to do is make a centralised database for all my computers to use, i can't create an ETP server without Windows. but if it were an app on the nas then the Server+client (daemon) architecture would w...

Rene

Thanks but no-can-do with qsirch, it needs an intel cpu, while mine has an arm cpu.

so i was really hoping someone could make a Qpkg package for side-loading ?

Rene

hey all,

i have a qnap nas that i would like to install ES on, but it doesn't run windows.

it runs a proprietary (Linux based?) OS named QTS, i was hoping there was an app for that ?

Rene

@MMK have you tried f.lux ? https://justgetflux.com/

Rene

I'll consider an optional toolbar button to do this, thanks for the suggestion. I've also added Ctrl + Shift + V to paste the clipboard contents with punctuation and symbols replaced with spaces for the next version of Everything. ps: where are we with my suggestion of adding the (offline) disk lab...

Rene

Hello there, i think the title says it all. When we copy&paste a file name in search box, could we please get a cleanup button, like in emule, to remove dots and dashes, etc from the name ? Twould be twerrific ! ps: where are we with my suggestion of adding the (offline) disk labels in the datab...

Rene

idk about the checkboxes, but if you want to i guess.

thanks

ps: thanks for the info how to add to filters, i just tried it, it works

Rene

hey there

it would be neat to have all the stored drive letters show up in filters, for in case we have a huge amount of files scattered but only want for 1 drive.

cheers

Rene

hello there, i have 1.4.1.877 (x32 and x64 installed on various machines) and none of them find an update for Version 1.4.1.895 released Friday, 9 February 2018. it was released a month a go but i use Everything every day, it should've seen the update. i even tested with AV off. is this a known bug ...

Rene

thank you stamil but no i wasn't, i would like to set up the database to be used on many computers.

ideally have it reside on a nas and all the computers could update it as needed.

Rene

thank you both, sorry for the late reply, the notification got buried under the rest of the emails. i hope v1.5 is coming soon, please void don't forget about the disk label idea i gave you last summer. it'll really help to find things on external drives. here's an idea for void, what if everything ...

Rene

same thing as op , i would like to try this so i've setup all my pcs to use a network path to the Everything database. it's easier than having 2 etp servers (one is up 24/7 but has old usb2 ports. the other is a laptop with usb3 ports so i connect my usb drives to it) So i figure they could all use ...

Rene

Hello David,

can you please add this to the todo list: http://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopi ... 319#p16247

thank you

Rene

hello DrMusti & all,

how can i add this to chrome?

Rene

one thing i've noticed using an ETP server with my tablet is that whenever i do a file function like rename or delete or move, Everything on the tablet (client) doesn't refresh automatically with the new info. i have to manually refresh the display with F5. just wondering if i may have missed a sett...

Rene

hey there Void, i was thinking, your idea to rescan the files (as mentioned in your post above mine here), it doesn't have to be automatic, but it could be manual, simply by right-clicking the drive in explorer we could add/refresh the drive into the database. Everything could also just ask us if we...

Rene

hmm, v1.41.877 seems to not have the sorting problem on start (i may have changed an option in prefs, home, search use last value, that may have something to do with it?).

but still doesn't refresh after file op.

Rene

Just adding a bit of missing info from my previous post: i connect to a 64bit Everything server via an etp connection from a 32bit device in the prefs, but not using the service on the 32bit client only on the 64bit server. And only starting the client interface when needed and it connects to the et...

Rene

when i search for a file, i often i need to copy & paste just the path into other programs.

Could we add a feature "copy full path" please ?

Rene

hi, just reporting a bug

when i start Everything (even 1.4.1.873b) it always starts with the name column chosen to sort.

i've set the option to sort by path and even close everything with that column chosen for sorting but it always starts with name column.
