I'm doing more testing my end and will have an update soon.

Thank you void and I just noticed also that the date accessed of folders is not updated or correctly reflected after rebuilding the index with mod1 (1.5.0.1367a (x64))

anmac1789

There was a major performance improvement to formulas in 1366a . Assigning a column would take a second or two with older versions. In 1366a it is now instant. (but slightly broken, please see below) Please try: addcolumn:column1 column1:=right( $path: ,10) I had forgot the colon (:) after $path bu...

anmac1789

It seems like custom column functionality with excel is not working for example, column1:=right($path,10) doesn't give 10 characters from the right of the path in column1. Did something change ?

anmac1789

Can everything 1.5a have somekind of mark like a green circle or a red diamond to mark the positions of interested files or folders in a long list of filenames ?

Thanks for the information anmac1789, What is shown for the Windows Explorer Properties for one of these folders?

anmac1789

As you can see in all of these screenshots, the folder timestamps are not there for the backup\ , Inventory\ and OLG\ folders but the folder timestamps do exist for Desktop\ and Abid\ folders which somehow when extracted, everything does not update those timestamps.

anmac1789

Timestamps of folders are dynamically updated by Windows when one one of the files in that folder changes. double checked on windows, windows only shows the date created for folders. Windows explorer will not show the date modified and date accessed for folders by default that's why I chose everyth...

Hello, I noticed that the latest everything version 1364a is not indexing folder properties properly.

so you are saying that using file extensions is the only way ?

@meteorquake had a clever idea to mark files that are linked. Maybe this method can work for you too.

But this is for color filters by extension

There has been bug fixes to the database. What version did you have previously? I would need to see the crash dumps to determine the cause of the issue. Previously, I had the 1362 version and it worked fine but then shortly after maybe a day later or something 1363 was released. but, even now, I ha...

For now, please try formatting with:

-or-

avoid the formatting:

column1:=$date-modified:-$date-taken:

Why doesn't ss:SSSSSSS work ? isnt the 7 long S's suppose to represent 100 nanoseconds ?

anmac1789

For the highlighted file time difference between date taken and date modified, why is it -0 ? it should be 2 seconds. Please see screenshot
