In Everything 1.5 it iis possible to define internal file associations too. More info here That thread describes 2 (more or less) different ways to get this done. In your case, you don't need a context-menu entry and "just" want ENTER/double-click on a MKV/MP4 file to run your batchfile. G...

Do you have a bookmark or filter using the i: macro?

To check, open Organize Filters/Bookmarks and check the Macro column for each bookmark/filter.

Another place where macros are used, is with /define. Check your definitions there too.

XYPlorer:

Code: Select all

Open (Folders) = $exec("C:\Program Files $(x86$)\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" "%1")
Open Path      = $exec("C:\Program Files $(x86$)\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /select="%1")

Sessions were introduced in version 1.5.0.1372a

Yes, it should be as simple as that. But to be on the safe side, put the folder to exclude from the search first: !“c:\the first folder\subfolder of the first folder\" hashdiff:"c:\the first folder\";"c:\another folder\" Thank you for testing! Glad it works as intended.

In Everything 1.5 pasting without punctuation is possible using the 'CTRL + SHIFT + V' keyboard shortcut.
(just stumbled upon this old thread and thought it was worth mentioning)

Ignore punctuation

Moved to the Everything 1.5 alpha forum.
Please post 1.5 alpha related questions there as answers for 1.5 questions differ greatly from 1.4 answers

Round brackets for grouping are no longer supported in Everything 1.5.

See discussion here

@NotNull Your solution would still mean that the folder will show up in the bookmarks side panel. I know. It just means one entry you can ignore vs. like 25 (?) entries to ignore. It cleans up the Bookmark menu. @Void Custom Macros are neat for sure, but they are not as extensive as what one can ac...

EDIT:
The $param2*: idea might be useful for the ELEMENT formula and preprocessor function too.

For the new Path column drag & drop feature.
As it is still experimental, feedback is appreciated and will help to make it better.
(in this thread or the linked one is perfectly fine)

Lucky for you someone else had the same idea adn @void implemented experimental support for this feature.

See here.
(don't forget to leave feedback!)

Got it. Thank you for explaining!

One question though:

void wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2024 5:02 am The session is also saved when you exit Everything.

Exit the GUI ( File => Close Window) or stopping the process ( File => Exit) ?
(probably the latter, but better be sure)

burgundy wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2024 5:12 pm Surely those two searches are logically equivalent

Will depend on your Everything version (and a configuration setting).

What version of Everything?

Just curious: Why are sessions saved every 15 seconds instead of onclose of tab/window? Firefox also saves sessions on a schedule (also 15 seconds, btw) so there must be a good reason why. Because Everything does not get a signal when it (= Everything) is closed or not enough time to save the session?

What happened to Filtermacro parameters? Filtername = Startwith Search = startwith:query: Macro = dummy<query> In the olden days <query> was the first "word" of the search query, making the rest of the search (second "word" and onwards) a regular search. 1.4 debug log: search 'st...

Maybe the following can help (a little) in re-creating something similar in Everything. I wrote it for fun, just to see how far I could stretch Everything before it would break. Turns out *I* was the limiting factor ... Every result gets weighted through a more or less random formula -- it was more ...

Everything does not disable Windows Indexing.

Even more: Everything 1.5 can make use of the Windows Indexing results (if asked to).

Yes:

- Go to Menu => Tools => Options => Indexes => Exclude
- In the Exclude files field, type

~$*

- Press the OK button
- Wait until Everything finishes excluding these files
- Done.

void wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 11:33 pm Was open_search_action set to new tab?

It was. Did not know this setting would work on filelists too.
Even more consistency

[Suggestion]
Sessions can be restored manually, but I would love to see active sessions being restored after an update as part of the installer (setup.exe)

Prtable zip is a different story.

Ctrl + clicking the open button will now open searches in a new tab. Shift + clicking the open button will now open searches in a new window. Love the consistency here! Open without keyboard modifier still opens in a new tab. Guess that is the expected behaviour? (fwiw: it is my preferred solution)

If you want results of -- for example -- just your X:-drive, add

X:

to your search.

Please try with paths that contain spaces.

Even with 1372a?

For me, the 1372a version does not work (=no results) with the previous code.

After deleting an item from the search history dropdown list , typically the next item will be focused. Mousecursor position makes Everything confused: if it is in the search bar, the search bar will be focused next If it is on a different item, that search history item will be focused next. Just so...

Currently not. I vaguely remember that @void would look into this later.

Change the search of the diff filter to the following to make this work again. #if:<#stricmp:<#element:<$param:,;,1>,#element:<$param:,;,2>>==0,"!"> file: regex:[regex-escape:[element:$param:,;,1]](.*$) | regex:[regex-escape:[element:$param:,;,2]](.*$) unique:regmatch1;size;dm Will update ...

Please check the Index menu items.
Did you activate Stop Updating or Pause updates? Choose Update Indexes

(status should also be shown in the statusbar)

As said: I can only partially answer your questions.

2. What is your max_hidden_windows set to?

Not interested? Please say so (I need closure ..)

Haven't looked at sessions yet, so a partial answer: 1. Same as previous version: Open opens in current tab, CTRL + Open opens in new tab, SHIFT + Open opens in new window. 4. You can change this behaviour under Menu => Tools => Options => Advanced, changing the following settings: - open_search_act...

Can't answer that. I visit these forums way too often to need notifications

Note:
The search syntax provided above is probably not compatible with Everything 1.5.0.1372a due to the introduction of &PARAMSTART: and &PARAMEND:

This message will be removed if it still work as before.

Put those together in one or more Bookmark subfolders:

You can drag your ES CLI bookmarks to this new folder.

On second (third?) thought: the amount of 'humans' that has a need for $parent-size is probably *very* limited.
If get-property() will support $path again in the future, that should suffice (IMO)

This might work (did not try to move the folders)
