I would like to avoid adding this to the UI to prevent users from accidentally running as admin.

Understandable. I have a small suggestion: if I add a search command to the bookmarks, can it automatically "press" enter?

jo29

It must be possible in some way since Process Explorer/Autoruns/etc do it.

jo29

I run Everything UI in the background. Whenever I try to run Everything as admin, it still shows as user-level in the process manager. I have to click File > Exit and run it as admin (using the mentioned shortcut or by right-clicking).

But I still can't see how this is relevant to my suggestion

jo29

I don't have Everything in the taskbar : )

jo29

As of now, if you want to run Everything (occasionally) as admin, you have to locate a shortcut (or Everything.exe itself) and right-click to run as admin. I suggest adding an item to the File menu, just like Sysinternals tools.

That's the part I wanted to know. I was ready with some suggestions if you weren't prioritizing.

jo29

I can see you have quite a long todo list for Everything. How do you manage it (sorting by priority, urgency, etc)?

jo29

Code: Select all

*\BaseLayer\Files

worked for both folders.

Please try removing this NTFS volume:

Greyed out.

I tried exiting Everything, removing it from the ini but it reappeared.

That's what I tried. It worked for the ProgramData folder but not the All Users folder.

jo29

I noticed that in the ini, there is C:\\ProgramData\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Containers\\BaseImages\\{UUID}\\BaseLayer under ntfs_volume_paths, although, the include in db box is unchecked 860,000 Down to a meager 417,000 now :D. The ones in C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Windows\Containers\BaseImages\ wo...

I did and it works now (es uses ~1.1GB RAM). Thanks.

This is an issue with Windows, isn't it? There are recursive shortcuts inside these two folders that I am guessing happened either due to the update or due to using Windows Sandbox.

jo29

Here is one example: \\?\C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Windows\Containers\BaseImages\{UUID}\BaseLayer\Files\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Windows\Containers\BaseImages\{UUID}\BaseLayer\Files\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Windows\Containers\BaseImages\{UUID}\BaseLayer\Files\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Windows\C...

Yes.

-Please try an Everything search for:

Nothing.

Maybe you are requesting more than filenames?

I don't do it through es, but in Everything I also index some other parameters.

How much memory does ES use before it dies? Around 6MB. It is born dead though, sortof! It doesn't show activity at all. However, in a sandbox, I removed some drives to see when es.exe works. I found that when it does, it does reach close to 2GB. Sounds like ES is dying and the process no longer ex...

Thanks for replying. I just want to say: - things were working fine just a couple of days ago with over 2 million files. - when I tried creating a mini dump of es.exe, it gave the error: "Error configuring dump resources: The system cannot find the file specified." - Everything itself is w...

OK. I tried to reproduce the error in the sandbox: 1. First, I renamed the db file to force Everything to recreate it. The issue persists (outside the sandbox). 2. when I copy over my settings file to Everything inside the sandbox, things work fine. 3. When I copy over my (newly-created) db file, th...

I am using the latest version of both (1024 and 1.1.0.26).

Code: Select all

es.exe

hangs in the same way.

Code: Select all

es.exe -h

works fine and exits.

I tried with a Windows sandbox and things work fine, so it must be something with my current setup.

jo29

I have a task where es.exe saves a file list periodically. The command is: es.exe * -export-efu export.efu A couple of days ago, it stopped working. The process just sits there for hours with no CPU activity until I force quit it. It leaves behind a 0-byte file named export.efu The variables in the ...

Issue is fixed, confirmed. Thanks a lot.

This happens even without the

Thanks for the quick replies by the way.

How are viewing the EFU file? Notepad++. It automatically detects encoding. The export file created by the GUI opens in Notepad++ without a problem. In both cases (GUI and ES.exe export) the file is read as UTF-8. The problem is that, with ES, many Unicode characters are messed up (replaced with qu...

This will set the code page of your console to UTF-8.

I tried. Same result.

Thanks for the great tool.

Export from the GUI is in proper UTF-8, while es.exe export messes up Unicode characters in file names (for example, emojis like

)
