Thanks to both of you for the swift and extensive replies. Here are my answers: -Does the program titlebar say "[Administrator]" at the top? no, it does not -Are all of your indexes located in the Indexes > NTFS section, and nowhere else? yes, they are -Have you paused updates under the In...

hi, it must have been discussed here before, but I cannot find a message about it: my instance does not reflect all changes. I just now deleted a number of folders from disk (and bin) and they remain in the database as if they are still around. I got all settings in the gui set to update (both gener...

hello, regarding the post above: In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters.... Change the Name to: No File Lists Change the Search to: !filelistfilename:. Click OK. What would be the filter for ' filelists only ' ? Kind regards and thanks in advance for your help, Kazzy

kazzybash

hi, installed the latest version. Now from my rightclick menu within Everything 1.5 the 'open' 'explore in everything' etcetera context menu that was there is missing. I am wondering: is it just me or is it Everything? I may have missed a discussion/thread in which this issue is adressed (as often :...

kazzybash

Thanks raccoon!!
I never knew about this search command. Can I change 2 hours to, say, 24 hours? And what does 'rc' refer to? What does it mean?

Kind regards, kazzy

kazzybash

this is exactly my experience too

kazzybash

hi, hereby a feature request. It would be nice (not necessary :P ) to have a pause button for use with the search: !FileHistory\ file: | folder: I have the list for this search sorted by modification date, so I see which files are being changed in my system. Sometimes this goes so fast that I lose t...

Thanks a bunch horst.epp!

Hi, this should be on the forums somewhere, but I can’t find it yet: what ‘code’ should I type before/after my search term to get an EXACT match and an exact match to what I typed ONLY. Example: I want to find this following file and exactly this file only (there may be duplicates, fine, but it has ...

kazzybash

hi, those are there indeed, I was referring to something else. Thanks! regards, kazzy

kazzybash

thanks man, for your kind reply

restarted as admin, does not make a difference as yet.

Please see attachment what it looks like on my machines. I assume I am looking for something that isn't there. I'd like to be able to add an option, say, 'open with' this or that.

Kind regards, Kazzy

hi, not sure if there is already a thread or post on this, I could not find it as yet. I am looking for a way to either have my standard Windows context menu items in Everything-right click // or a choice-selection of it. (by the way, a standard windows context menu does not seem to exist as differe...

thanks, will check and report back

hi, everything.ini I got in three locations: -C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Everything\Everything.ini -C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.ini -C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Everything\Everything.ini I think I only need the first one, correct? The others can be deleted I assume. I think they are le...

kazzybash

great, thanks!! there is a kind of problem here that is beyond Everything, and it is the fact that in Windows one cannot firmly and definitively give a drive letter to an external drive (you can never be certain that a connected/disconnected/reconnected drive retains it's letter. It's an omission re...

kazzybash

thanks a lot David!

I could not make sense of the last command (\ in the search results) but the slashes do work!

Regards, Kazzy

kazzybash

thanks raccoon! I am learning each post

I did not know of this bar.

kazzybash

thanks David! This is a very good work around indeed. I did not know of this option to add filters.

Kind regards, Kazzy

hi void, have been reading this thread. I am not sure if I am asking for something that has already been cleared. I do have a number of file lists in a folder. They list files on offline volumes. They are added to the Everything-index on start up. Question: when I then put a volume of which a list e...

kazzybash

hello void, hereby another feature request. There are a number of standard search options (if that's the right name for them) I put in my bookmarks list. Say 'file: ' or 'folder: ' When working with these options I have to add something to them, say 'folder: that' or 'folder: this'. It would be conv...

kazzybash

Hi void, would it be a meaningful feature to have the ability to switch on/off file lists? This could be all file lists at once, or an option per file list used (I think this would be harder to implement). Context: I make heavy use of file lists, I use them as a catalog for offline volumes. But some...

kazzybash

great, thanks!!

kazzybash

thanks NotNull! the subfolders toggle worked

I do not understand these tips:

- 'CTRL + click' on 'Everything.

this does not generate anything, any change for me...

- Double-click the "ROOT" text in the statusbar

I do not see a root text in my statusbar

kazzybash

hi, when starting up Everything 1.5 alpha 64 (latest version, I installed it as such that it totally replaces 'normal' Everything) I get the list of, well, everything on my machine. Let's say I select a filter (ext. txt), I then select in the 'folders' window a more specific location, say 'Downloads...

kazzybash

hi void, horst.epp, thanks for your replies! last week I changed 1.5 to completely take the place of 1.4 disabling 1.5 (using your tutorial void). That works like a charm. But the deskband effectively asked my where my bookmarks.csv file was. In the deskband on the 'topbezel' I do see 'more' under w...

kazzybash

hi ettb, all, installed this deskband. Nice piece of work!! Trying to make it work the way I want to. One problem I stumble upon is that on opening I want it to show last modified files on all drives, except C:\ . How to achieve that is not yet clear to me. Another is: I can select my own bookmarks ...

kazzybash

hi notnull, thanks for your extensive reply. Version 7 is indeed a long time ago, I am using 10.xx now. The software is good enough to keep on using AND has a lot of potential for improvement which would make it a truly great piece of software. I was thinking to try to find out the way in which Q-Di...

kazzybash

hi guys, indeed, Everything uses it's own database (which has a speed comparable to Everything). Apart from that I am one hundred percent sure that there used to be a tickbox in which one could indicate to use either the native database or the Everything database. Anyhow, this option is no longer av...

kazzybash

hi, on the forum I looked around for further integration of Everything in programs I already use, like Q-Dir. I did not find an answer to my questions yet. Is anyone having a proper integration of Everything and Q-Dir up and running? I mean by proper: with the ability to send folders from Everything...

kazzybash

hi, first of all I want to apologize for asking the following question here, but the Listary dev (sadly enough) apparently has stopped working on his great piece of software a long time ago. I am using Listary pro 5. There used to be a possibility to have Listary use Everything's database in the pas...

thanks raccoon, for your extensive and kind reply! regards, kazzy

kazzybash

omg void, I am the one who was confused in the first place :lol: . Let's interpret this as a very extensive way of asking for help, ok? Fumbling around a bit more shows me even more filehandling goodness (being able to walk the path down all the way to the driveletter) than I was asking for. Sorry!!...

kazzybash

hi, when using Everything I regularly come across the situation that in Everything I selected a file for copying and copied it (got it on the clipboard I mean) and then I want to paste it to a folder that is in the same Everything-window, just under my nose. That is: the folder itself may not be dir...

kazzybash

thank you void! regards, Kazzy

kazzybash

Hi all, still toying around with this. Posted here to further facilitate my specific use of everything alpha as a cataloguing tool (next to being indexer of live volumes). @void: would it be possible to have an option to add the disk-label to the 1.5a part of the screen on the left side? https://i.i...

kazzybash

hi, thanks a lot for this set of bookmarks that is useful indeed!! Hereby a few that I make use of. Possibly of no use to anyone else. crap In case of running this script on your OS-drive be careful in case you'd decide to delete things (although I do not expect many inexperienced users here). Sugge...

kazzybash

hi Eric,

thanks a lot for your kind answer. I tried too, and true,

.

takes precedence. And then ' takes precedence over .

I do have exotic foldernames in my archive that I cannot change for that would hamper their functionality.

Regards, kazzy

kazzybash

hi, what character in a foldername would put that folder top of list in Everything results (sorting by name)? What table of characters is Everything 1.5 using? Silly question will perhaps, but I want to use a specific foldername that puts that folder top of the resultslist when sorting everything by...

kazzybash

wow guys, this does the trick. Exactly what I needed, I mean, also in vivo. This works for the task I intended. Thanks a lot!!

kazzybash

hi both, thanks a lot for your reactions. What I am looking for is 'folder only' , I am (in this case) not interested in folder-contents. What I am looking for is a refinement in folder management which, as of yet, I have not been able to find in any tool. So I am looking for a way to display folder...

kazzybash

hi NotNull, thanks for your kind reply. I am not sure if I understand you correctly. I was not referring to any function I knew of, but to something I wish to accomplish with a search and management tool (preferably Everything :P ). Total Commander has a function to search for folders up to a specif...

hi, was searching for an Everything-function connected to this one here: https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9740 I am looking for a way to display folders exclusively on a specified depth of level (not first level per se). Say I have this drive E:\ with the deepest nesting at le...

thanks a lot void, I will look into this and post back if I did accomplish. great support. regards, kazzy

kazzybash

hi void, thanks for your extensive reply. I am not sure if I understand you correctly. Maybe I was not entirely clear as to what I was aiming at. Let me try to clarify a bit. I use 1.5a like as intended, as a very easy and quick search tool. I only recently noticed that indexed contents of previousl...

hi, been using 1.5 alpha as standard replacement for 'normal' everything. What a GREAT tool this is (been using 'normal' for years btw). Thanks so much for development and maintenance.

Hi thanks for the quick response. Very helpful, because it is exactly what i asked for. In using this option however I found out the downside of my request very quickly. For instance: renaming a folder is not reflected in the database. Obviously. You cannot eat your cake and have it. But it would be...

kazzybash

Hello, sometimes I use everything (which is a marvellous piece of software that I use daily) on a partition that has a lot of files of which only a small portion changes between sessions. Scanning this disk does take some time and even though I want to use some database, it does not have to be 100% ...
