Thanks a lot.

In my case, running Everything (installed) and Everything (portable) side by side, it will not help to update both .ini's then?

Where portable is launched:
path\Everything64.exe -instance "Portable"

eswul62

Out of curiosity...

How about an option to add a "Net stop" command to File Exit ?

so, like
net stop "Everything (Portable)"
and
net stop "Everything (1.5a)"

Would that help?

I love this Rename tool!
Renaming files accross drives/partitions in a few clicks.
The traditional renaming tools you often need to click-click-browse-click...select..click

Will it be possible save a layout (column widths, sorting, no preview, etc.) as a user defined session and have that reload at relaunch (as an option!)? For example: I may have Everything full screen, with the preview side panel on, column width set and a search strong in the search box. All this to...

Many thanks for your elaborate reply.
I understand, technically not possible.
Bad luck.
I admit: indeed, it was a 'long shot'.

Thanks again.

I have Everything both portable and installed version on my desktop PC and laptop. Normally Everything on desktop and laptop are -not- running at the same time, they are either running on my desktop or on my laptop. A few questions 1. Is it possible to have the portable and installed version use the...

As always, thanks a lot!

Probably I am overlooking something: in Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks, clicking on either 'Name' or 'Search' does not result in sorting.
Right click the folder 'Bookmarks' (left) does not show anything relating to sorting.

Or maybe it is on the TODO list?

Thanks.

eswul62

Your reply crossed mine...

thanks again!

eswul62

Many thanks. I am sorry, in all 3 cases, the full path is listed in Everytin, between quotes and followed by a space and 1 so, like: SnagIt-05042024 085650.png Maybe it is not possible at all though. Just found it... Beyond compare does not use 1 as parameter but 'n' for file name. %f Absolute path ...

eswul62

Currently Everything does not offer something like a folder compare. There are dedicated tools that can do the job (like Beyond Compare, WinMerge, etc.) Regularly whilst comparing folders, those tools may find file differences. Before... taking any further action within above mentioned tools, one ma...

As the title says: am seeking a way to find duplicates images based on Exif Date Taken. The original images (from the camera) may have been renamed, stored elsewhere, or whatever. there is a 'dm:' or 'dc:' I have a context menu item to search for duplicates of a selected file. the Everything paramet...

Right now I have the below context menu in Directory Opus. SnagIt-01042024 155513.png As an example, the first item triggers following "D:\Everything\Everything64.exe" -s* file:#filename:"%1" Obviously launching Everything within Everything isn't possible. Is there some other way...

Currently I have to use a different device, not my usual desktop, with Everything setup with a bunch of filters, bookmarks, etc. A laptop with a 'clean' Everything.

eswul62

Up front: am not sure whether the following idea is workable. It is an * IDEA * only. It is about an option to create a kind of 'user defined dictionary' of synonyms. Or some kind of 'Tag List', or 'Keyword List'. When searching for 'this word', then Everything will also search for 'that word', bein...

Me too +1

eswul62

THANK you very much indeed! using: regex:^img-(\d{8}\s\d{6}) dupe:regmatch0 (Filter: N:\Photos) dupe:regmatch0 or dupe:regmatch1 - same rsults. I have to confess: I wasn't aware of something like 'regmatch' Vainly searched for the Help-file. Later I found it under https://www.voidtools.com/forum/sea...

The Everything 1.5 alpha will always use the alpha update channel. (this cannot be changed) The beta_updates setting is ignored. Automatic updating is on my TODO list. Thank you for the suggestions.

Yes, you are right... :oops: I am sorry, did not want to 'steal' your contribution, but for one reason or the other, I didn't read it. Shame on me.

eswul62

Super!

Many thanks.

eswul62

A suggestion only - I don't know if it is workable. In the Advanced Rename, add a new option (checkbox?) to save specific renames as a named preset. I often rename files the same way. SnagIt-12122023 071654.png . Maybe also add something like "Last Rename" or have the last rename 'sticky' ...

eswul62

Sorry for getting back on this, after months only. Reason: I was again busy cleaning up/deleting duplicate files from within Everything and I remembered having posted this thread. So, Everything: Search for X:\ dupe:dm (sort on modified date) now delete duplicates files with the same modified date '...

eswul62

As always: thanks a lot! Normally I wouldn't go beyond -say- 240-245 characters (total path length) In this specific case, these were saved/exported mail attachments, including include 'Domain', 'From' and 'To' and 'Subject' of the email in the path. So I would know what the file was/is about, as we...

eswul62

Thanks for the above. Whilst Everything is set to its default filter, then I am afraid I can't get Everything to rename the folder names, i.e. renaming (F2) will apply on the file names. Of course I could set the filter to "Folder" and sort on path length. However, in that case the files w...

eswul62

One rootfolder with -many- subfolders.
Files are sorted by path length.
Quite a number exceed the max of 255 characters.

Now, I would like to find and replace text in the path so as to shorten it. Some texts are double, or simply not necessary.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

eswul62

When deleting one or more files within Everything and the folder becomes empty, it may be that the folder is not necessary anymore, even not the path. Often when it involves old or duplicate files. Just as a suggestion: maybe add an option to remove folders (or paths) as well, when they become empty...

Maybe you could give 'Lockhunter" a try

With me this is a regular thing: when reorganizing files, I would like to move them to a path and have the ability to create folder then.

Exact, that's the one.

eswul62

Ah... super! Many thanks. Indeed, that worked out fine. One way or the other I 'felt' it should have something to do with the path as basically I was searching on the file name only, whereas I wanted something in the path be excluded. Or so... Could not figure out how and what though. Thanks again!
