The Everything Server will now dedupe filenames. Just following up here to say thanks. I've been testing out using v1.5 alpha with Everything Server for a few weeks now to dedupe file paths on a Drivepool volume and it has been working great! The configuration to get everything set up is a bit comp...

distinct: sort:fullpath is not the best option for deduping pooled storage. A better solution is needed. distinct: is not real-time. There would be a large performance hit for Everything to re-check the distinct state for all duplicates on every single file change. I will consider adding an option ...

If this project were made open source, you'd have dozens of people hissing over the fact that it's written in native old-fashioned Win32 API C++ and that it needs to be ported over to cross-platform Qt6 Toolkit which only works on Windows 10/11, and Windows support will basically become a "you...

You sound biased and wanting to create your profit just saying how I feel Of course I'm biased toward my opinions. I don't even know what you remotely mean by the "create your profit" rant. Most open source licenses explicitly forbid any type of selling or bundling of code into a commerci...

Dont make it open source it would kill this program and too many people would customize it too much and itll get messy and disorganized if the source code is realeased. For once, please dont fix whats not broken I don't understand the almost spambot-like replies from people who don't give any ratio...

I'm pinging this thread again because I would really love to see the codebase for v1.4 open sourced. I think this project is in a unique position to benefit the community by having the source available for a lot of reasons. On a personal level I'm interested in being able to add support for agent-ba...

Sorry to bring this old thread back to life, but I would greatly appreciate having the source code available. For one, it would be awesome to look at the code of a well-crafted app and gain some insights into the intricacies of filesystems like NTFS. The most important reason, however, would be the ...

@void, adding distinct to the base filter certainly improves on having to enter it each time, but it also makes the filtering system more complex (every filter would need to include the distinct parameter in addition to whatever other parameters are specified). That's a minor gripe, but still someth...

@void Thanks so much for addressing this issue! Adding distinct: in front of any search I make DOES seem to resolve my issue with using remapped drives (in the context of using DrivePool with the custom parameters specified in this thread ). I see only one line in the index for each file in a DriveP...

Some of these posts are obscuring the original issue. The point of this thread is using Everything with a storage pooling software like DrivePool. The FAQ covering duplicated results don't address the issues with pooling software, and while using a folder index can technically be considered a workar...

@void Adding a feature to hide duplicate full paths would be extremely useful in a complex configuration using a pooling software like DrivePool. Excluding specific disks won't help because DrivePool handles it's own duplication algorithms (disks aren't simple mirrors). But it seems like it should b...

UPDATE: it looks like you also need to turn off automatically including new fixed volumes (auto_include_fixed_volumes=0). I'm still testing it out but I finally seem to be getting somewhere.

@void Is this broken in v1.4.1.988? I can't seem to get anything to work. Every time I try to modify the settings the app just ignores them, adds all the volumes back to the settings, and nothing is indexed for the actual drive/path I'm trying to create (I'm using DrivePool). And yes, I've closed th...
