This is good! It's easy to see that the largest file is not necessarily the 'first' one. At this point, I can't identify the original defintively, partly because the file recovery process has modified some of the metadata. ALL of the files were modified on Oct 15.... But I can filter the results lis...

Can you determine from the filename if the file is an original photo? In most, but not all cases. If I've done a rapid-sequence with the camera, the results have numbered suffixes. So I could use this as a somewhat more labour-intensive approach by looking to see if it's a resized copy or an in-seq...

I'm looking for a way to identify .jpgs by name and sort them by dimension. I'm trying to deal with the aftermath of a disc failure for a photo album. I've got thousands of recovered photos that are re-sized copies of the original. For example, these are various sizes of the same photo: 20210101_132...

Thanks! there are constant changes to the file system - well, if you call changes to google and firefox parts of the file system. Thousands of little changes a day. Would be nice to keep Everything from tracking certain apps. I note that there's an option to exclude filesystem files and folders - is...

Over the last few weeks I've seen a dramatic increase in response time on some of my desktop apps, primarily Everything and XnView. Both of these apps have an index in the tens of thousands, and perhaps millions of files, across two RAID/NAS drives with a combined memory of 2Tb. So I'm wondering if ...

Ooh, interesting question, and I just happen to have two items on my wishlist! 1. A file list of folders or files to search for specific text. Until recently, I thought there was such an option, but never went looking for it, until I needed to compare several lists of email addresses from several ye...

Ding Ding Ding!

I seem to have answered my own question....

I've got at least 3 drives with copies of several thousand jpgs, and I want to rationalize the bunch. I could compare Drive A with Drive B, generate a list of common files, then compare A with C, and B with C, then filter for all the common files. Then there's Drive D, and perhaps E. But what I'd li...

I'm looking for a way to catalogue files on a drive. I see that the export function includes the file names, and am wondering if there's a way to export the other columns of data too: path, size, date modified and so on.

Is there a way to configure the export process to include that info?
