Thank you, I missed that.

This is an odd idea I had during some really extended file operations. Is it possible to run two different installs/copies of everything, each with their own index, at the same time. The reason I ask is because I use the index everything provides a lot. However, especially during data conversion job...

Janus

Okay, finally got it working, more or less. Be sure to keep an everything shortcut on your desktop for when you remote in. Since I wanted information on shares by network address only, I deselected drive monitoring. Then added the shares via the folder menu. Now I can get direct share addresses with...

Sorry for delayed response, after easing off, work is suddenly insane again. Everyone wants all those little things they thought they had months yet on, done TODAY!, and are convinced their lack of planning is somehow my problem if they are insistent enough. First, I am trying to access the server r...

Janus

I appreciate the response, but it is not working for me.

While the etp client may be working, the web interface is not, which is my goal.
I want to use a web browser so I can put each server in its own frame, then combine their results.

Thank you anyway.
I will keep trying.

Janus.

Okay, this may be a stupid question. It started with an old android tablet I decided to use for locating files on my network. I have several servers on my lan. Very private, well firewalled, not visible from the internet. Plans for a subdomain/VPN link for remote access from job sites later, but no ...

Janus

For me it would be workgroup search. I have several computers on a network, mostly windows. Each of those windows machines runs everything. It would be very useful for members of the same workgroup, or lan, could pass on file queries about shares. Network requests would be for shared files only, whi...

Janus

You can try installing in the "program data" tree instead of program files. Or you can make a directory on C root, beware that W7 & later makes this hard. It creates a phantom dir in the current profile, redirecting as needed by default. There is a way to turn this off, but I don't rem...

Janus

I am not sure how hard this would be to implement. However, on those occasions when it is needed, it would help a lot. content:"Sam*" Match Sam*, works normally. For wildcard though, use single quotes. content:'Sam*' Match any word starting with Sam content:'*Sam' Match any word ending wit...

Janus

I have been using the content:??? system to quickly scan for files matching both name and content. I normally use ztree for this, which is fine on my main machine, but sometimes the files spread across multiple machines. Right now it says querying, which is nice, but I sometimes think it may be froz...

@therube

I have and use this tool.
However, I was hoping there was a simple way for the function to be included without the extra step of opening that tool.
Switching tools can break work flow, so I try to avoid it.

Janus.

@void

Is there a way you can have Everything indicate that a file is open?

Not for all of them, just the ones shown in the gui, or as a tag in IPC searches?

Janus.

Janus

@NotNull The doubleclick on tab to close is removed so when I use it on a fresh system it doesn't annoy me. I simply compile it to have my preferences by default, then I have a nice portable tool that is preconfigured. I did the same with notepad++ which I have configured to always convert to ascii ...

Janus

@NotNull Warn is the proper word, and I have flixed my spilling horror. As for what I removed. Sound, I dislike a large amount having a any clicking from my computer besides my keyboard and my mouse. Double click not one something in a pane to navigate up, gone. Double click on tab to close, gone. '...

Janus

@NotNull No problem on the time. As I said, I am still testing. When I am happy with it, I will be putting up exes and the source. Source is setup for VS2015, with all third party libraries in the source tree. Everything is fully static linked, no external or support files required. The same basic s...

Janus

Update: I have finally removed the need for external support DLLs to get Everything functionality in explorer++. All of the functions needed for folder size are now a part of the main program. It checks to see if Everything has a directory indexed, via direct IPC, then gets it data that way, or fall...

Janus

@abu I also use everything on a lan with servers monitored by everything via tools/options/indexes/folders. It works, but uses a lot of memory since it a singular lan wide index. ReactOS is not quite ready for prime time yet, so I may soon have to switch to Linux for my servers. Nothing against Linu...

Janus

A thought. First, the current advanced search is great, but cumbersome, and it also puts things in an odd order in the search box. Between 'Search' and 'Bookmarks', you could put 'Filters', a drop down containing commonly used filters. When a filter is selected, it is either prepended, or appended t...

Janus

I had a thought, and I hope this is coherent. I have (a) customer(S) with several servers on their lan(s). Currently, they use everything as a fast index to avoid hunt and peck file searching. {The built in windows search is broken beyond bothering to make jokes about it, and unstable on top of that...

Janus

I would like the ability to manually add to/edit the index exclusion list. The reason for this is so I can exclude drive letters I reserve for portable devices. Currently I can not add a non existent drive letter, and I would like to be able to. Currently I add devices and manipulate drive letters s...

Janus

A question.

Does Everything support ADS streams?
There are tools like this Nirsoft ADS Viewer, but they work one drive letter at a time.
I am hoping everything works with them.

Thank you either way.

Janus.

Janus

I am aware of that, but that is not what I am talking about. Apparently I was not a clear or specific as I had thought. C:\a\1\b/file.txt C:\b\2\c/file.txt C:\c\3\d/file.txt C:\destination\ Copy with paths would allow me to search for file.txt, select them all, then copy them so they end like this w...

Janus

Something I use quite often with ztree is the ability to copy files including their paths. It has two modes, one is complete path relative to the root, the second is relative to a branch point. I would very much like to have the ability to select a group of files. Then be able to copy them with path...

Janus

The documentation was unclear if it applied to directory/folders as well. The clarification is appreciated. In the meantime, would it work to use Everything_IsFileInfoIndexed to get recorded attributes, then treat zero recorded attributes as not being in the index? Or are there some circumstances wh...

Janus

There is currently a way to check if a file is in the DB. I am requesting a way to see if a directory/folder is in it. I want it to accept files/folders/directories, but that might very hard to implement, and slow. So I am hoping for Everything_IsFolderInfoIndexed to compliment Everything_IsFileInfo...

Janus

Thank you. I have not touched the ipc stuff yet. I guess I get to now. What I did was use everything to look up folder sizes in explorer++ because the built in is slow. To do that with usable performance, I added everything_getfoldersize & everything_foldersizecache functions to the dll. They us...

Janus

I am looking for a way to determine if the DB in everything is busy. I have integrated everything into my personal explorer++ fork as a way of getting directory sizes, and it is fast. My problem is when I do to many file operations to quickly, it tends to crash. If I turn off directory sizes, it run...

Janus

Based solely on my own experience. Speeding up the hardware and software does nothing for you, if it clogs the wetware. Snazzy borders are for people who can not naturally multitask. The gaudy borders, fuzzy edges, blank real estate etc, create visual separations that provide wide area visual contex...

@void

I feel sorry for the table holding the print out of your to do list for 1.5

, have you worn your printer out yet?

Janus.

Janus

@msys Not a lawyer, but from years of study, and trying to state things simply. Part of what has kept the ReactOS project going so slow is blackbox reproduction of core windows functionality. M$ already tried poisoning the tree, and failed. On the reuse and API fronts both. The clauses relating to p...

Janus

@msys You may this funny, but that is part of the reason I will also not be going past Win7. W8 and later is not windows. W10 is just a graphics terminal for your microsoft cloud account. The advertising and usage profiling also offends me in many contexts, not the least of which is that I actually ...

Janus

@msys A couple of thoughts for you. Set hide results when search is empty {Tools=>Options=>Results}, this helps by keeping the initial screen clear. I have ~8.5M files indexed, and it makes a difference for me. The second note is one I spent some time running down not just with everything, but other...

Janus

Is there currently a way to demark symlinks?

Such as give them a different background or text color?

Had to use bold for background, but I think I am understood.

Here's to hoping.

Janus.

Janus

@void Other than for handing out files, my site isn't anything. As for servers with millions of files on lan servers, I was actually thinking about something different. Take advantage of already having the ETP service available. Have a setting for whether or not to include lan shares in generic sear...

Janus

Okay, I have now uploaded the explorer++ source. explorerplusplus-180302.zip It is setup to use VS2013, Boost 1.64, Pantheios 1.01 Beta16 & Stlsoft 1.9.124 which I am using. Environmental variables used as follows Boost, Panthieos, StlSoft. I will be updating with the last few changes from githu...

@Void My site is really pathetic, I am not a web designer, and I prefer tables to css. I have a forum and a blog for my personal fork of Celestia, and that is about it. Been thinking about reorganizing things since I am making several personal forks of programs. Here is my modified explorer++ and tw...

Janus

@Void I am working on cleaning up my code now that I finished a short paying interruption to my hobbies. I have however run into a question. Is there a way to determine if a path is in the index? I use everything_getbuildversion to determine if it is loaded and running. I have not however, been able...

Janus

@NotNull While I agree that this is a little off topic. It also illustrates a common problem in software, especially the last few years. Feature and mission creep. I fear that if to many capabilities are added to everything at its core, it could suffer the same fate. Right now, it does one thing, an...

Janus

@notnull Whether I agree or not with killing off SmbV1, not everyone can. I still deal with software and equipment that only speaks SmbV1. The embedded/plc/homebrew market has lots of things like that in it. I have had to troubleshoot so many problems because some IT 'person' updated some package wi...

Janus

@ FrozenGamer I know this is an odd question, but what samba/cifs versions are you running on your server? I ask because I had a problem with an update on a server that dropped it back too SambaV1, and that slowed things a lot. I currently run two servers on my lan, one for work projects, and the ot...

Janus

@FrozenGamer At the moment I am running ~8M files, using ~650Mb of ram. I have noticed that when I move dir trees around, or extract really large projects. Everything gets sluggish. Using talk manager and the diagnostic window, I traced the problem. In task manager you find one core saturated at 95 ...

Janus

Okay. I warn you, this code is messy. This was structured to make single stepping easier. I have done no real optimization yet. The first addition is to everything32.def appended to the end. Everything_GetFolderSize Everything_FolderSizeCache The second is to everything.h EVERYTHINGUSERAPI void EVER...

Janus

Okay, I think I have finally got it. I need to test further, but I think I finally did it. Response time is about a second for anywhere up to about 150 folders. Though it did crash a couple of times, but only after several minutes of continuous movement. I am also now of the opinion that C/C++ strin...

Janus

@void Working in DLL source. Added a couple of items and two calls. Take a look at this. Here is where I am getting results that make no sense to me. I initially tried with EVERYTHING_REQUEST_PATH, but that gave the directory the folder in question was in. So I switched to the full path and name, wh...

Janus

Okay, here is my next attempt. It generates a parent directory query, then checks to see if the query has changed. If it has, it updates the query, otherwise, it just proceeds. Then it loops through the result set. Response speed is largely determined by total number of files in query. 500K = 1-2 Se...

Janus

Speaking strictly for myself here. I would like to be able to run Everything on each computer on my lan. Have them all enumerate non automatic network shares, with access set to 'everyone'. (Samba/Cifs) Basically public shares only, unless you add one by hand. Then it reaches out to other computers ...

Janus

Okay, that was fun ... NOT!!! I brute forced my way through and made a history check version of the code. This piece of code works with the idea that I am checking a large number of subdirectories in a folder sequentially. It derives the name of its parent directory. It then compares it with the las...

Janus

Okay, really stupid question here. I have been trying to take the passed path from explorer++. C:\Windows for instance. Get the foldername, Windows in this case. The parentfolder, C:\ in this case. Construct a querystring "parent:C:\ folder:", for instance. Compare that string with Everyth...

Janus

A different approach then. Since this is being used in a file explorer, it will always be wanting the size of what is to it, a subfolder. Can I reach upwards to get a wider range of downward content. For instance, I am browsing C:\ Explorer++ will then request the size of C:\Windows then C:\$Recycle...
