Hi tuska,

Is the TIMESTAMP on SharePoint also changed after the upload?
nope

What happens when a file is MOVED in SharePoint?
only the path changes

Will the file size also be changed here?
not anymore, only one time after the first upload

Will the timestamp be changed?
nope

Best regards
David

David.P

Yeah, I believe it is only possible using a sync software that creates a database of all files.

David.P

Even if the left and right file have the same "timestamp" and only the file size is different the files are listed in the synchronisation window and suggested for synchronisation(!) That would be a problem, because the size difference ("Thanks" Microsoft) applies to most of my ~...

This is a very impressive setup and run tutorial, @tuska. I am still reluctant because the entire procedure honestly intimidates me. Will this enable me to press a button and then clearly see after a minute or so which of my ~100.000 files and folders have been added, renamed, changed, moved on eith...

David.P

Understood. Long version of my post from yesterday just before going to sleep: While I do recognize the effort, unfortunately I don't have the slightest idea what tuska's posts are about. In other words, I still don't understand anything tuska has written in this thread. Unfortunately, I can't even ...

I have two sides of the same folder structure with some 10.000 folders and some 100.000 files. One side is mainly modified by myself, the other side is modified by half a dozen other people.

David.P

To my knowledge, there is no tool to find moved files in this context. Microsoft had a tool which were able to do that using a databse but this is discontinued. Yes, most sync tools do this with a database... Then I'll have to stick with PureSync for the time being, which a) usually recognizes rena...

David.P

Thank you, I will definitely try Total Commander. On the other hand, I just remembered that there actually is one feature that I need, and that is recognition of renamed and/or moved files and folders because this happens all the time, probably even more often than actual changes to files. syncdirsc...

David.P

Hello all, the linked threads are a bit over my head, unfortunately. Therefore, I thought I'd ask here if anyone has found a simple and robust way to compare two directories with some hundred thousand files once or twice a day, where usually only one or two dozen files will have changed. I've been t...

David.P

Thank you. Will test and report back.

David.P

Okay for now I shall try and add the following folder filter:

*~1*

I will continue to report on the issue, if applicable.

Thanks @all
David

David.P

Thank you, will do all and report back.

David.P

Okay, I've done all of this now. I even completely uninstalled and reinstalled Everything and let it run with default settings. It still doesn't show thumbnails and previews for images. Actually, there are no thumbnails nor previews for any file types. Is there anything else I could try? Attached is...

David.P

Thank you, will do and report back!

David.P

Unfortunately, I now have the opposite problem. Everything no longer downloads anything, for example when the preview pane is active. Not even images are previewed. Thumbnails are not displayed either, instead only the JPEG icon appears. I have not blocked Everything in the OneDrive privacy/download...

David.P

Was anything shown under the attributes and reparse target column for USERNA~1? Ah sorry, those columns were out of sight because the list was too wide. The "Attributes" column shows letter "D" and the "Reparse Target" column shows nothing. Please try adding C:\Users\U...

This search shows the following in the "Name" column:

USERNA~1

I don't reember having set up any folder junctions recently.

David.P

I also have no problem with long file names in OneDrive. I've also checked that the shortened path duplicates that Everything displays are also displayed for fairly short paths. I haven't knowingly changed anything in my setup, my OneDrive for Business path and contents has been like this for years.

David.P

Okay, after rebuilding the index, the problem from the 1st post above seems to have disappeared. Also, the issue with the grayed out files under the non-existent path "P:\foobarbaz.V\..." seems to be gone. However, I still get duplicate search results. Each file is displayed twice in the r...

David.P

Okay will do, after my index is rebuilt, should the issue persist then.

I have a directory under the following path: C:\Users\Username\OneDrive - acme.com\ACME-AB I get completely inconsistent search results on at least some of this path's subfolders. For example, in a subfolder called "Foo baz" (which is also not found when searched for) there are about 50 PD...

David.P

Thank you, that helps for the time being. Looking forward to the favorite locations in the folder sidebar feature!

David.P

Awesome, that works perfectly!
Thank you very much!

Hello Forum, I'm just realizing that I normally would like to exclude lots of folders and only include a few folders in the search results. However, sometimes I'd still like to search everywhere, but without having to rebuild the index beforehand. Is there a solution for this use case, similar to Om...

David.P

Hello Forum,

is there a possibility to show a column that contains the day of the week? For example, the date in long format according to the Windows settings, or an additional column that contains only the day of the week?

Best regards

Hello Community,

Is it possible to search for a file name OR for something else, for example file content, at the same time?

For example like this:

Foo OR (ext:docx content:Foo)

(this example does not seem to work).

Is this possible somehow?

David.P

Thank you! Looking forward to this feature.

David.P

Short follow-up question: is there a way to have Everything index *.msg file metadata like e.g. email sender and recipient?

David.P

Okay, thank you. I work three days a week on one computer and the rest of the week on the other. Therefore, filters.csv may be changed on either of the PC's. I will now set up a manual sync that will sync filters.csv from OneDrive before Everything is started, and after Everything is closed as well....

David.P

Thanks for the quick reply! I was thinking about the symlink method mentioned above, and putting Filters.csv on OneDrive. Will that work, provided Everything will only run on one of the computers at any given time, or will symlinks to Filters.csv be overwritten on save, thus breaking them?

David.P

Hi all,

what would be the best automatic method to keep the Filters-1.5a.csv file in sync between multiple computers?

David.P

Thank you so much!

David.P

Hi Forum,

where in the Everything Settings can I define the abbreviation "cont:" for "Content:", for example?

David.P

I don't have words about how awesome this is.

I dare hardly ask: could another column be added that tells the number of occurrences of each (deduplicated) search result?

And... can I assign custom names to the added column(s)?

David.P

Oh, my bad. The code doc: #replaceterms:<#trim:<#regex-replace:<#regex-replace:<#<:search:#>:,"[\r\n\t ]","|">,"\|+","|">,"|">,#<:<#term: col1:=#term:>#>:> addcol:col1 sort:col1;dm distinct:col1 ..is supposed to go in a Filter. That WORKS!!!! Time an...

David.P

Wow...

This filter works like a charm now.

However the latter (deduplicate results) seems to do nothing for me at the moment. Is the syntax correct? There seems to be a little difference behind

#trim:#

David.P

This is incredible. I can simply highlight my search term list in Excel (or somewhere) and immediately all matching files are displayed in Everything. I still have something wrong with the filter though, because it doesn't return any results when used like this, with the search terms in the search b...

David.P

Thank you so much, this is amazing (again). When I enter this code in the search box. #trim:#regex-replace:<#regex-replace:<#clipboard:,"[\r\n\t ]","|">,"\|+","|">,"|" ...then it seems that the clipboard is being monitored, and as soon as I copy my (...

David.P

Ah, that's fantastic. Can I build a filter from this as well, since the case occurs often for me? My search terms are typically strings consisting only of letters and numbers. The search terms are separated from each other typically by a mixture of multiple spaces, new lines and/or tabs. Do I have t...

David.P

Thank you -- that's clear.
I mean, if for example I have 20 or 30 search terms in the clipboard and I'd like to do a quick

OR

search with these.

Is that possible without having to type the search operator between all search terms?

David.P

On a similar note, I just tried to create a filter for Word documents. Probably I made a mistake, because all Word documents are always shown, no matter what search term for the file name is entered in the search field. https://i.imgur.com/OWyg6el.png Thank you for pointing out what I am doing wrong...

David.P

Hello Forum,
is there a way to link a significant number of search terms with

OR

without having to type

OR

between all search terms?

Best regards

David.P

Thank you! That works perfectly, and I don't have to change the input date in two places anymore for this search!

Now you can use the following search:

dcm:07/18/2023

which Everything will expand to:

dc:07/18/2023|dm:07/18/2023

David.P

Hello Forum,

is there a shortcut to search for

dc:07/18/2023|dm:07/18/2023

so that the date only needs to be written out once?

David.P

I'm sorry to report that unfortunately this did nothing in my case. I also did not have the corresponding value "8895b1c6-b41f-4c1c-a562-0d564250836f" in the registry for the .txt file type: https://i.imgur.com/s9HphxG.png I then had deleted the "shellex" key shown above, but the...

David.P

Thank you! In my case it's usually something in the range of a few dozen ORs.
