hi NotNull, sent you a PM. Thanks for your efforts, truly appreciated. regards, kazzy

[{"Path":"size","dark_foreground_color":"#ffff00"},"Path":"dm","dark_foreground_color":"#ffff00"}] This is missing the name identifier. To set the Path column text color to Yellow, please try: [{"name":"P...

kazzybash

hi David, thanks a lot for implementing and this message! Trying to make it work. Let's take the image on the top of this thread as an example. Name of the column is 'path'. color is yellow (I take this yellow: #ffff00), mode is (or appears to be) dark. That would result in: [{"Path":"...

thanks a bunch. Downloaded and in use

hi, the regex works very well, a big thanks once more! A follow up on this thread. The expression below (and above) is giving me: "the first 5 characters must be identical" regex:"^(.{5})" dupe:path;regmatch1 Would the following be possible and if so, how: "the first 5 chara...

Looking at my Internet connections, a local and remote address of: 0-0-----------------------------------------------------------0 Has appeared. Any idea what this is please? On one of the connections, instead of a number, CIFS is showing, I've no idea what this is either. Address connection.jpg wh...

kazzybash

hello David, thanks a lot for your explanation! With regard to your question: to me it would be meaningful to have this option. For instance: I use the 3-date columns (created, modified, accessed) and I would be interested in giving two or three of them their own color. I feel that in general the op...

kazzybash

Hi, on the forum I saw this image and I was wondering if it is possible to set the color of a sole column like the yellow colored one in the picture (possibly it was edited afterwards?). If it is possible, then how?

Not sure if I’m helping you with this, but maybe you could try ‘Alldup’ (you can search for duplicates by hash OR byte-by-byte AND/OR name). Regards, kazzy

kazzybash

hi, I tried but cannot get this to work, it clearly is beyond my capabilities :) . But I found a way to get closer to what I achieve by using this line of code the two of you came up with in another topic : regex:"^(.{5})" dupe:path;regmatch1 . I need to complete the task by hand, but this...

Hi, not sure if I should be posting this question here (as it may not be an Everything-related phenomenon), but let's see. It can then be kicked in the off topic subforum, obviously. Got a NTFS formatted disk. A folder is shown in Everything that cannot be accessed (File Explorer and/or CMD) or remo...

Hi NotNull, therube, this one below does it, that is what I was looking for (not the variant with "B.." being skipped, although I do understand where you're coming from). When you want A..12 345678 and A..12 876543 to be considered "equal", but not B..12 345678: "C:\your\sta...

kazzybash

Sorry for addressing you wrongly NotNull!

kazzybash

hello David, thanks a lot for your kind reply and code. I tried the query, but it did not yet do what I am looking for. This must be due to my explanation probably :) . Please see the foldertree zipped in the attachment, it contains only totally empty folders/subfolders. When I run the query with 't...

kazzybash

thanks therube for this suggestion (it is an improvement!)

regards, kazzy

kazzybash

thanks a lot Horst! implemented

kazzybash

hi all, is there (in a collection of folders within one parent folder) an easy syntax to query:

show all folders of which the first 5 characters in the foldername are identical?

regards, kazzy

kazzybash

Thanks therube! much appreciated

hi horst, thanks for the suggestion and I did search the forum a bit longer, but as yet I have not been able to find a topic about this on the forum. Do you, does anybody have a link please? Kind regards, kazzy

kazzybash

hi horst, thanks. Now I see that David has addressed this here. Scripting the production of a single backup-file (7zip) could be an idea for me, will consider that then. Regards, kazzy

kazzybash

hi therube, thanks a lot for your effort in answering my question. I am not certain whether we understand each other. Let me try to clarify my situation. Please have a look at the picture: foldertree.jpg On the column on the left I have a few new folders with new files. The column next to that shows...

kazzybash

hi David, would it be an idea to have an option to export/import ALL Everything-settings in one go? Thereby I mean the .ini, bookmarks & filters? It makes it easier to transfer between different machines. Regards, Kazzy

kazzybash

hi David, possibly this has been mentioned before, but using 'subfolders' in the bookmarks list could be helpful when the list is long (and it is here with me

). Thanks for reading, regards, kazzy

kazzybash

I see, not for guys like me indeed. Thanks for the lead anyways!

kazzybash

Is there anyone in Everything land that's aware of any (preferably free) programme that has a fuzzy search to find dupes that aren't exact please? Maybe Alldup is able to do what you are looking for (it has a function for images, but I am not sure if it has a function for other filetypes). regards,...

kazzybash

thanks meteorquake for your extensive reply with explanation and script! I am trying to make it useful, but I am a total n00b when it comes to script (never got past ms-dos and I know how to program my microwave). I looked around on the internet, but did not find an answer yet. How would I be able t...

kazzybash

hi all, was reading this thread . It deals with duplicates where my question below does not (only when it comes to foldernames). A fuzzy search in Everything would be great (Filelocator Pro, an entirely different - and slower - approach to searching than Everything, has it). I was wondering if it wo...

kazzybash

thanks a lot David!

kazzybash

Hi folks, is there a way to move files that have come up in a query to another location in their respective folders (and also the foldertree those folders are in)? Put differently: how to move a selection of files that are scattered over folders (that are scattered over a foldertree) leaving the fol...

kazzybash

Thanks a lot David, works like a charm!

You ask: ‘Can there be a . in the filename part?’

I am not sure what you are asking, because, say, ‘001.filename.txt’ is perfectly possibl, isn’t it?

Regards, kazzy

kazzybash

thanks David! The second one (regex:^_+) does produce exactly the results I am looking for. The first one (regex:^\d+\.) produces wanted mixed with unwanted results. For instance 2.txt (and/or 513236190445411.txt) is coming up, but unwanted. The formatting is important to my query: 000.filename.ext ...

kazzybash

hello void, my header looks the same as yours in the image. Thanks for your reply! Just as in this thread the problem seems to solve itself... nice, but strange! I don't know how Everything works, but maybe the program needs a full computer restart to function properly sometimes. Anyway, I do have t...

kazzybash

I do have some additional questions about keywords though. Say I have files named: 001.xyz 002.xyp#d 003.fdls.4s.rrrlp 2132312abler 33334345355w545 ...etc I want the query to in-/exclude files that have names formatted like the first 3 in the example above. With the first 4 (or 3, 5, 6) characters l...

wow, thanks man!! I will go into this coming weekend and report back Nice! regards, Kazzy

kazzybash

hi, had a look into it. The problem appears to be absent at the moment, weird... When it returns, I will with it. Thanks!! Kazzy

kazzybash

hi all, just to check if I am not doing something wrong: no filters applied, being 100% that there are name- and size duplicates in my drives, they should come up in Everything when querying by 'dupe:' , right? I don't understand how I do not get results (rightclicking the name column does provide m...

kazzybash

Hello all, hello void, this did work, but after a while when using this seach command I do get all files that do have the keywords in their name (and yes I do still use the ‘!’). Weird no? I trying to figure out what goes wrong. Is the number of possible keywords in one command maybe limited (say to...

hi all, got this archive of excels, neatly ordered. New excels come in regularly, offered in archives. I download those, unpack and then move the newly created folder with contents ('new set') to the archive ('old set'), by hand. I would like to automate this. Thing is that the foldernames in 'new s...

thanks a bunch, will try this out with pleasure! regards kazzy

kazzybash

thanks void!!

kazzybash

:idea: This works, phenomenal... I haven't figured out how to make lasagna with Everything, but I a think it will be able to do even that. Just one last step in this thread... I only want to move nested folders with the same name when the parentfolder does not have any other files or folders in it. ...

kazzybash

hi there, could anyone tell please me how the following can be achieved by Everything: -for the contents of a folder give my keyword in the searchbar (this I am able to do :P ) -in case keyword is present in filenames those will show in the results -now, I am NOT interested in processing the files t...

kazzybash

hi, on my laptop I have quite a number of folders that each only contain a folder with the exact same name as the folder they are in. The deepest folder contains files I want. Is there software to move those deepest folders up one level and/or does anyone know how to script this? Thanks for reading!...

kazzybash

Hi, probably this has been asked here before, but would it be an idea to have a command added to the Everything context menu (please see attachment) under 'Expand' to go one level or several levels up in the tree? For example in my image it would bring me to the level of 'C:\' or one level higher to...

hi, on my pc I got two instances of Everything 1.5 Alpha: one fixed (set to be like the 'normal' instance of Everything (not being 1.5 Alpha I mean) and one portable. I do not run them simultaneously. If one instance runs the other is not running and vice versa. The behaviour of double click in the ...

There you go… thanks Horst! I didn’t even know this was at all possible.

Regards, kazzy

kazzybash

Thanks a lot David.
Just as a matter of interest: how does this work, then, if anything would change in the Everything-service?
regards, Kazzy

kazzybash

Hi David, -The service not being installed correctly, or not running will definitely cause Everything to not see changes. The question is now: Why was the service not installed correctly or running? If this happens again, could you please: Check if the Everything Service is running (Start -> Service...

hi, whenever a new version is released I do install. I got 'no alpha instance' in place. Normally I download and run the installer. For my understanding: could I also download the 'standalone' , extract the Everything64.exe from the zip, replacing the Everything.exe (renaming it in the process, of c...
