Can we have a feature where, when I click ctrl+r (inverse selection), that it does not inversely select ALL files, but just those of the selected highlighted files ?

Do you mean selecting rename within windows explorer ?
Yes.
Do you see the same behavior in Everything and Windows Explorer?

If I select rename on a folder in windows exp, then pasting the name in everything it copies properly

Maybe you're running in a loop (because of the VM)? Are you running a non-VM Everything from within the VM? (As opposed to running a "VM" instance of Everything from within the VM.) No, I have other files in E:\ that I was sorting through. The E drive is just an external hdd. When I was r...

Explain "lock-up"?

like if i have a vm running from the E drive for example and i rebuild index the vm freezes and 'locks up' with no response, as soon as i end task everything in task manager then it starts working properly

Does everything lock up a drive when rebuilding external hdd index ?

I interpreted this statement ("There is no filename: search function.") to mean that the search function filename:

pardon me? I did not understand

nice one this will be a useful feature

yeah I think that will be cool to have but is it really practical when sorting through duplicates or important files rather than just tagging them with a certain background colour ?

yes i always use the latest version as soon as it comes out

Everything 1.5.0.1367a will now use date modified timestamp as the date accessed timestamp when a file is modified. While incorrect, it will make date accessed somewhat useful as there's no USN events when the date accessed timestamp changes. lol you had me at "while incorrect..." What ar...

What is your existing robocopy command? You can "get" your wanted source files, directories - from Everything. But how do you set, in an automated way, your target directory? Likewise, you can do the same with a GUI; Teracopy, FastCopy or whatever, but still you need to set your target di...

anmac1789

Is there a way to do copy-paste with robocopy ? For example, copying a file from one location to another updates the dc, dm and da but if I wanted to preserve all 3 timestamps, then can how do I use a script with robocopy and copy-paste without always using command line to do copy-paste ?

void wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2024 6:33 am This is a limitation with Everything.

Everything has a file database and a folder database.

Only duplicates from a single database are found.

ahh I see ... I had to use the Name column to find the duplicates

anmac1789

There is another problem with finding duplicates. It has to do with finding duplicates when the file and folder have the same name. For example, folder: IMG_1234.JPG file: IMG_1234.JPG When I assign a custom column such as column-1:name: find-dupes:column-1 then nothing is shown. Have a look at the ...

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 ?

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 ?
