Hello, I have 1373a and the open new window in tab option enabled. It seemed it worked a few versions ago but when I do new window or alt-space, it does not open a tab but a new window? Is that normal? (or only me). If if it, it would be good if the window hotkey (alt-space) could be mapped to new t...

Great. It works again.
Thanks for everything.

Thanks a lot for the response.
I knew I was missing something.

Hello, I just started using the sdk using the python example. For the attribute, and integer is returned (e.g. 16, 32). The attribute constants (e.g. D, A) are listed here: https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/searching/ I probably missed it but is there anywhere a correspondance between the...

Hello, I am using the -create-file-list in some scripts. The script/command line works fine with everything 1.4 but no file is created with everything 1.5. "C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -create-file-list test.efu path There is no error either. The command -create-file...

Thanks for your response. I started looking at the page and then tried 1352a portable on my second machine (similar configuration). And it worked. Installed it. And it worked. Went back to the one with the issue and reinstalled 1352a. And it is worked... Strange. So it seems it just needed to reboot...

Thank you for your response (and sorry for the missing details). * It always kept working in explorer * I have powertoys with monaco disabled (a long time ago). It crashed all the time so I don't use it. I don't think it was ever enabled on the PC where the problem occured. * downgrading: it did not...

Hello, I updated to 1352a and I have a problem with the preview behavior. I have lot of text files types (some non standard) that I ask windows to perceive as text. e.g. in the registry: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cps] "PerceivedType"="text [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.py] "PerceivedType"=&...

Thanks for clarifying.

Hello, I use Everything a lot, often not to look for something random on my drive but to select files in a folder, rename them, create an archive based on a filter, do a "smart copy", copy the path with forward slashes for python, etc. These are operations that only require to index the cu...

So Omit would work at the folder level before the search (excluding a folder excludes all what is below) while filter would consider individual items (making a filter to exclude the parent excludes only the parent and not the children items)? The first one sounds really difficult based on your examp...

As a follow up, I just tried and the regex work when in the filter definition. e.g. to hide all contents of programdata program file etc. except links and executable, etc. etc. + users appdata contents: !regex:C:\\Program(?!.*(lnk|exe)$)(.*) !regex:C:\\Users\\(.*)\\AppData So either I did not unders...

Thanks. You are right. I forgot to protect the \ and the space. However: it still does not work for me and everything in programdata shows when omit is enabled: 2022-07-03 10_37_21-programdata - Everything (1.5a) 1.5.0.1315a (x64).png Now, if I put the same regex in an interactive search in a regula...

Hello, sorry. I am still confused... If I understand the post above: using in files and folders regex:C:\\Users\\User1\\AppData\\(?!Local\\Lazy Nezumi Pro\\presets(\\|$)) should exclude all AppData except C:\Users\User1\AppData\Local\Lazy Nezumi Pro\presets So regex:C:\\ProgramData\\(?!Microsoft\Win...

Hello, after looking into it, it kind of works: 1) with es.exe: I used an xargs windows replacement called wargs (MIT license, https://github.com/idigdoug/TextTools). e.g. to process the search results with 4 processes in parallel : es -double-quote ext:jpg roof_ | wargs -P 4 -I f jpegrecompress.bat...

I'll look into it
Thank you!

Hello, perhaps there is already a way to do it otherwise it could be a suggestion. I use regularly the find shell utility (on linux...) which is really useful for automation as it can be used interactively. In particular: find path -name "test*" -exec ... or find path -name "test*&quo...

Hello, just trying that. Very useful I think (at least for people like me putting pointers in their folders on how to find stuff). Suggestion for default extensions: .md (markdown) .awk .sci (awk and scilab programming languages). I added them in the .ini file and for some reason it does not seem to...

Thanks for these pointers. I will look into them.
Yes a history is needed for deletion (it is also how it is implemented in the JFileSync tool I currently use).

Hello, I use everything all the time and really appreciate it. I have desktop and a laptop that I synchronize morning and night (to get the files changed during the day or night). A few hundreds files are changed at most in a set of folders comprising about 200,000 files. Folders are on both machine...

Thanks to both of you!
That is the info I was looking for! (didn't see it in the manual?)

"path:search:" works perfect.

hello, really appreciating everything here. ;-) I realized the the way my files are organize, I can find many of them with two keys. That can be done using: path:<key1 key2 (finding all files with key1 and key2 in the path: e.g. C:\lkj\klj_key2_lkj\lkj\test_key1_lkjl.test) So I am trying to define t...
