Thanks void. I will collect the most important syntaxes in a text file from now on.

abr01

This might work: pic: "K:\Bilder\Fotografie\*\*" If not, take take a second (or 100!) to formulate way more precise what pattern describes your files/folders as this turns out to be completely different from what you initially asked for. P.S. You didn't answer my questions .. Yes, that is...

abr01

The date format you mentioned first is different from what you've shown (so the regex: would be wrong)? So these dated "files" are actually files, & not "dated" directories? If you only want files specifically in K:\Bilder\Fotografie\ & no subdirectories, you can use par...

abr01

I have the impression, that [a-z]+-\d\d-\d\d\d\d\\ stands for the date format. But those date formatted folders should not be filtered. All of them should be searched. Here's another approach to show what i try to achieve: 23-Okt-23 any many similar folders are not to be filtered out. I want to sear...

abr01

Just noticed that I skipped a quote in the regex: version. Repaired in the original post. Let's approach this step-by-step; your filter will come later on. - Make sure the Everything filter is enabled - Make sure no other serach modifiers are enabled under MEnu=> Search (like Regular Expressions, M...

abr01

NotNull, none of both codes work here yet. My full (example) command is camera-model:XF1 wildcards:"K:\\Bilder\\Fotografie\\*-##-####\\**" to filter for that camera model and excluding deeper paths. I also try to build a template, where i have just to fill in my camera model, but that does...

abr01

Using camera-model:abc after having re-index the database including the camera model property is fun and very fast. But i found, that i would need to limit the search path to the first level. So everything in K:\Bilder\Fotografie\Dated Folders (e.g. K:\Bilder\Fotografie\Feb-12-2024), but excluding a...

abr01

Another observation: I ran a test on the same document searching for a combination, that is included, 'decrease sebum'. Which was giving me the correct RTF, but also a bunch of other documents, which seemed suspiscious to me, since i wouldn't expect the very rare word 'sebum' to be found in science ...

abr01

Could it be, that just searching for gua sha (two single search terms in the content search box ) simply isn't appropriate? Seems, like we sometmes have to place < > around the search terms? Because now i can find that search words in the Content search. But in other cases, just using both search te...

abr01

No, it doesn't show up. And if i use another word, that is in the text, the whole text content of the RTF will be shown in column A, as i can tell by the mouseover info tip. Once i use the original search term, which in this case is 'gua sha', nothing will be displayed. I will be able to check this ...

Where? Into the search field? Replacing a line in the filter? I have no idea where to past that command into. Append Void's string to your existing search string as shown below:-Untitled.pngDon't do what I did: paste it into the search box as the only item. (I stopped it after the content of the fi...

abr01

I just came across a word, that my content search won't find in an RTF file. The file type is included in 'index file content', and another search term from the same file is found. That's strange. I am re-indexing now, but i did that the night before already. How can words slip through? Is it maybe,...

abr01

Thanks void. Looking forward to test the new format. I'm also hoping, that some script guru will provide some script for Directory Opus, that will automatically generate collections of locations, based on the coordinates, that would be fed into Everything, and afterwords back to Opus, to generate a ...

abr01

Thanks void, for the tips, i made that .bat and created a current backup.

abr01

(There is also the [Everything.exe] -save-db switch which will cause the .db to be saved to disk should you not want to actually exit Everything at a particular time [& during which time the disk .db may then not otherwise be [as] current as that stored in RAM]. Did that just this morning to br...

abr01

Thanks, therube and void!

And yes, i had also the impression Everything would resume indexing after a shutdown. Not sure, what the reason was, but it didn't happen on my own machine. Will investigate.

abr01

It seems, that with tags, comments, longitude and latitude included, building the index can take several hours on some machines, and indexing starts from scratch, if the machine is shut down inbetween. Is there a way to export the whole index as a backup? And if so, will it detect changes afterwards...

abr01

Found something: with this type of format latitude:<53.1497N> longitude:<09.3462E> i started to get plausible results. So the coordinate values have to be in angled brackets, in decimal format, and with four digits after the decimal point. Edit: since i get the coordinates with more than four digits...

abr01

Well, that's strange. I took the values directly from one of my photos, and also tried to shorten them at the lower decimals, but i didn't get any results. Also tried the decimal values, latitude:53.51733N longitude:10.05195E, nothing. Here's how my setting looks, same for longitude. I had the index...

abr01

Yes, i tried that already. I don't see any progress bar building up (waited a couple of minutes, since this kind oft search can be slow). I have also added the drive to the search, to see, if it might speed up the process. Maybe the format isn't right yet?

abr01

After having re-indexed Everything, including latitude and longitude now, i'm not sure about the correct syntax, even though i believe i have replicated the code format from your search functions page, in the format latitude 53°31'2.388"N;longitude 10°3'7.02"E However, no search is initiat...

Thanks, that works now. I can include it in my various search presets. By the way, because the dm variant finds that stuff, how would i exclude items coming from the Control Panel, like Fonts?

Shouldn't type:"file folder" dc:today work? Maybe i need some re-indexing then? Not sure.

abr01

It works, halfways. I have to experiment a lot more. At the moment it takes awfully long, like an hour or more. Even when i try to narrow down to the path and file type, it is still very slow. Another thing, i have yet to find out, seems i have to convert the data from hms to decimal format first. U...

Thanks, that works. Would it be possible to change the behavior, so that no < > are even required, for convenience? @err_24546, yes, i was referring mainly to those tags in Opus 12/13.

One of my hobbies is photography. I'm recording my sessions using OSMand, so that i can locate most of my images. Would it be possible to have some kind of 'fuzzy' coordinates search in Everything, that would return all images within a certain perimeter? That would be great. I am not familiar with t...

abr01

Thanks, i did that.

abr01

After some testing, this format turned out to be the only reliable one. The second example, whole:tags:<snow birds> doesn't work for me for some reason. But is there any way to simplify the input process, without having to type the lengthy whole:tags: part twice? I'm planning to build some multistri...

abr01

Thanks! It worked, and also with dc (date created). Which is funny, because i believe it did not half an hour ago. Maybe some kind of index had to be built? As for the staus bar, i don't have those properties, so i guess it's in the default mode already.

abr01

That's strange. Is the syntax correct?

abr01

Didn't test them all yet, but the whole:multistring:tags:snow whole:multistring:tags:birds type of search works fine. I'm gonna test the other ones too. Thanks guys! / What is shown in the tag column where only snow matches? Looks like only the second search keyword was respected. Anyway, i can work...

abr01

It works halfways, from a quick test. With your syntax i find snow and bird, but also just snow (where snow was the first search item in the line, if that matters). So all results contain snow, but not always birds (these are only two example search strings, but i'd expect it for other cases to be s...

abr01

In your examples, you have tags:nature;illustration. I have tried my own version, but instead of getting AND results, i get OR. What would be the correct syntax to search for multiple keywords in the tags, or for that matter, in other search modes?

abr01

Thanks. I had the same question. Answered now.

abr01

Thank you!

abr01

When i import my settings on another machine, i don't have my filters and bookmarks. Is there a 'full' export, including that and also language files and chosen theme (dark)?

abr01

In the meantime an user found the right syntax to make it work. So, the problem is solved. Here is the code that works: @set query= {dlgstring} Find CLEAR QUERYENGINE=everythingglobal QUERY content:{$query} From the Opus forum. https://resource.dopus.com/t/buttons-for-customized-everything-filters/4...

abr01

For example, i try to find the word 'cinema' in some text file, that woul be my input, what {dlgstring} is receiving in Opus. I am not sure, how Opus is communicating at that point with Everything, regarding the debugging process.

abr01

Well, the {dlgstring} is the input, the search item, which is received.. All the other filters from Everything work fine in Opus 13 Beta, because they have predefined criteria, like file: dupe: dupesize: size:>500mb , no input needed. But in this case, like in my code example, it won't work at the m...

abr01

Following button in Opus 13 Beta command does not return any results. Using Opus' '+' query, adding content:search: works as expected. I suspect, that the curly brackets ar not compatible with Everything's syntax. Is there another way to handle this? Set Focus=right Find CLEAR QUERYENGINE=everything...

abr01

Thanks. It works well!

abr01

Using content:searchitem works from the search field. However, i'd like to use a filter, that has the content: argument, but if i type the item into the search field, no results are returned. Is there a way to use a function or filter, that only requires the query in the search field?
