Maybe it should be called "stop monitoring (ignore changes)"?
and "Pause index updates (keep monitoring)"

Not possible to do it like Excel, 'my sheet name with spaces', they use single quotes to indicate it? Not essential though.

Thanks for that, would be good to have that info on the documentation for reference

How do I reference the 'Regular Expression Match 0' column in the Column Formulas?
I'm trying something like regex:binary:content:^\x00+$ column1:=len("Regular Expression Match 0:")
but it doesn't seem ok?
How do we use columns with spaces in their name?

defza

The solution is to add the "binary:" option, ie.

Code: Select all

regex:binary:content:^\x00+$

(which is a bit weird, as the \x is a binary character essentially, so not sure why it wouldn't match without the binary: switch)

defza

If I search for regex:content:^\x00+$ on certain folder/file, then it only finds one file, but the many others are never matched. All the files are just a bunch of nul characters, no newlines, nothing except nul characters. Here are 2 samples that I expected to match but are not matching: https://dr...

I have some .lnk shortcuts that point to pdf files. I want to copy all the target files at once, but I always get the shortcut files only. I can turn on the "Shortcut Target" column, and I can right click in the column on one of the files and say "Copy Shortcut Target", then I ge...

distinct:"Extension" gives you one entry for each extension. distinct:"Extension Frequency" gives you one entry for each frequency. So if there are 5 .txt files and 5 .jpg files, either .jpg or .txt will not be shown. I see, but your query just gives me a list of all extensions,...

I use a modified script from NotNull to create a list of files which need OCR. It uses pdftotext tool and creates a file need_ocr.txt in the dir with the PDFs. Currently it adds an unwanted space on the end of every name in the list. @echo off setlocal rem echo on pushd "%~dp0" cls ::____...

Thanks, but in this case, the file shows application/pdf as File SIgnature and content-type just fine. But in the log it says failed to load stream F:\Seminary\TheologyBible\theolibrary.shc.edu\www.duq.edu\documents\theology\_pdf\faculty-publications\Bulletin_of_Ecumenical_Theology_21_2009.pdf 80048...

Content match cache:

How do I do a content search without the cache? e.g. force the query to do a raw content search from scratch?
Or to try and repopulate any attribute without using the cache values?

Hi, I would like to show the files that have the result of "failed to load stream". Is this possible? In my case, they are the one's that I'm looking for, basically, dirty or bad or textless PDF's. They usually have this attribute of not being able to be loaded. I saw error 8004807a in the...

Would like to see how many files are being searched? e.g. 23/2345 ? Also, how about being able to see what file is currently being searched? e.g. Tools -> Debug -> Show current operation details....

Ctrl-N copies over the last used filter. It’s got to do with the settings about what to use when opening a new window, it’s got lots of settings that can be tweaked and defaults changed. That’s all there. That’s why I was thinking a ctrl-shift-n would maybe open one with everything clean. Yes, the f...

Oh thanks NotNull. That taught me two new things: A. Please consider changing your Home filter: In Everything , from the Tools menu, click Options . Click the Home tab on the left. Change Filter to Everything . Click OK . This will default your new search windows to use the Everything filter. This i...

Nice. So many times the Filter is on something I don't expect, and then I don't find the thing I'm looking for. So I'm looking for a way to make it clear that this isn't "Everything", but rather just "Documents". 1. I would like to show what my current Filter (Everything, Documen...

Hi, If I've done a long running operation like a full content: search for example, and then I mistakenly press something in the search bar, or change something in the columns or something that causes the results to be rebuilt, I would like to be warned that I will lose these results.

We can search for them in Everything 1.5 Alpha using a custom tailored binary contents search. If you could attach a very tiny public domain MP3 file with a typical AcoustID tag, I can examine it in a hex editor and give you a couple search options. I see what you mean, a hex search on the contents...

Thank you for your suggestion.

So, I still can't search inside an mp3 file for some custom or non-standard id3 tag like the AcoustID for example, right?
Even if it's slow and non-indexed?

Hi, I been using voidtools for years, but I notice with the 1.5 that most times new files and deleted files don't reflect their changes in the index anymore? Like I downloaded a file now to G:\ drive and it's not in the index, but the C:\ drive shortcut recent thing does show up. It's not in the Ind...

I also get confused when it says no Updates, then I go to the site and version currently downloadable is newer than the one I'm running. So, I guess the Check for Updates... function isn't entirely the truth. Then why not report in the "no updates" dialog that there are updates "XYZ v...
