If using Bookmarks with tabs, could the tab Title be an option in Bookmark settings?

I will add path searching support to Find and select, so you can find and select all your files on your H: drive. For now, please sort by path, select all files on the H: drive, then resort by size. Selecting via path H: does not select "file 0" in the first group in the example above, th...

When searching by coordinates is Everything searching by numeric characters or numerically to the number of decimal places? In the example formats you gave latitude:53.14 longitude:09.34 latitude:53.149 longitude:09.346 latitude:53.1497 longitude:09.3462 rounding numerically of 53.1497 to say 2 deci...

My cut and paste error. Still NO results whereas v1369a did?

... Cancel that. I had the wrong filter on, switched to Everything and all good, Sorry

Version 1.5.0.1368a (x64)

Have filenames of format, where x's are alphanumeric and vary in number, while n's and m's are numerical xxxx-nnnn-mmm xxxxx-nnnn-mmm Need to have a column with "nnnn mmm" How? I found addcolumn:A A:=regexextract($name:"-(\d{4})") will get me column A with "nnnn", but h...

Thanks for that. Setting the Options Home to use the "Everything" filter had the unfortunate effect of when opening Everything anew would bring up the last search that did not use the "Everything" filter, but now does :-( However you suggestions further down gave me the clue to g...

Windows Explorer right-click menu item "Search in Everything". How do I open in Everything, if not already open (apart from startup in System tray), with filter set to "Everything", irrespective of filter used of previous session? How to open in New Window/Tab? If I already have ...

With Everything using Alt-Left arrow, I can go back in previous searches for the current session, including changing to the previous search's filter. However if Everything is closed, reopened, and choosing History/Show all Search History to go back to a previous search which had a different filter, ...

Thanks for that, I will give it a try asap Just to confirm what we had also discussed re the excluding of folders and files in the exclude tab, if there are "spaces" in the path name in either the Exclude Folder filter or Exclude files, unlike when entering into search, double quotes are n...

Using Everything 1.5, when closing via File/Exit the entry in Task Manager (not the Service running) takes a long time to end. Same for for /Restart in search field to close and restart Some times 10 minutes or more? A computer shutdown comes up with a message that Everything is still running and wh...

Why when I rename a file in Results either using F2 or right click rename does the file not always get renamed? it remains the same :( When I try again I get the popup "Unable to rename" Error 2 When I open the file folder the file has been renamed. So why after a rename is Everything not ...

Copying the path and pasting to search box did not work... Then realized the path had spaces in it, so needed to put double quotes around it.

When you have the path column in search results and you right click on the path in a row you have the option that displays the file's folder (yellow folder icon) If the focus is put on this, a submenu pops out, including the option to go up to the parent folders, omit, standard copy/rename/delete et...

If you want to change the default action when clicking a .dot file go to the following registry key

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Template.8\shell

In the right hand pane change the Default value from New to Open, this changes the default action to Open

Is it possible to add the Exif property "GPS Horizontal Positioning Error" to the list of Exif properties that can be indexed.
This field gives a measure (in m) of the accuracy of the Latitude, longitude values in a JPG's Position.

Thanks

Version 1.5.0.1350a (x64) When creating bookmarks there is the option to edit/add columns. For a particular bookmark using the my Everything filter (Name;Path;Size;Date Modified) I used 'select...' to add Extension to get the added column showing the file extension. (Name;Extension;Path;Size;Date Mo...

At the bottom of that thread the question is asked if it works with 1.5a, and the answer was NO
Any updates?

Change column1:=sum:($width) to column1=sum($width:) , the colon placement.

Note that as there is only one width per file, column sum($width:) is the same as $width: which you already have a column for?

See viewtopic.php?f=12&t=11949

Refined to DUPE on the "\1.\2" combo using column1 <regex:^(.+)\s[(]2[)]\.([^.]+)$ fileexists:\1\.\2 column1:=$regular-expression-match-1:.$regular-expression-match-2:> | <regex:^(.+)\.([^.]+)$ fileexists:\1" "\(2\).\2 column1:=$regular-expression-match-1:.$regular-expression-mat...

You could try adding a column using column functions. Add the following to your search

column1:=substitute($name:," ","") addcolumn:column1

This will add a column of the file name "ignoring" spaces. You could then DUPE for that column?

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried putting regex: in front of fileexists: eg. <regex:^(.+)\.([^.]+)$ regex:fileexists:^$1:" "\(\d+\)\.$2:$> but that gave nothing, so obviously can't use regex with fileexists: ... So I used the last example you gave me with the hardcoded number (1) and use...

I'm trying to find all files with the pattern filename (n).ext I can find these with regex:^(.+)\s[(]\d+[)]\.([^.]+) as the filename is captured in the first set of brackets and the extension in the second I also wanted any "unnumbered" files matching "filename.ext" so I tried re...

That worked thanks.

just one more thing, what is the extra needed with this search to display a column with the number of matching files in each folder?

Using 1.5.0.1339a (x64) In the help it states child:<filename> Search for folders that contain a child with a matching filename. Also in the forums for finding files with non ascii characters I found regex:[^\x00-\x7F] For me the regex search returns 132 files with highlighted non ascii characters. ...

Using Version 1.5.0.1337a (x64) Portable Using the search string below to search in folder H:\Psim for files with text content "PUT ", I got a whole list of files...good so far. "H:\Psim\" content:"PUT " But I realised that it was picking up files with the string ...&qu...

Add to your Index/Exclude/Exclude Folders the "Add Filter" entry below. The ?: part will exclude the Recycle bin from A:..Z: drives

?:\$recycle.bin\

This should remove entries in your Recycle bin(s) from your searches

What about looking at File History tab for properties of the .db file in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Everything?
On my machine I can see versions going back at least 6 months?

This relies on having File History backup turned on. Also if you are taking other backups you may have earlier versions?

So i'm not looking to exclude these, I want them indexed as most of the time its helpful or at least not problematic. I'm just looking to temporarily hide them during a specific search. i'm using the alpha if relevant. add the search term !attrib:H to your specific search to exclude items with hidd...

a more simple one?

regex:(?-i)^[a-z]|[\ ]+[a-z]

(?-i) case sensitive
^[a-z] start of filename a lowercase character
| "or" operator
[\ ]+[a-z] one or more space characters followed by lowercase character

Try regex:(?-i)(?<![-.])\b[a-z]+ I'm note a regex expert in any way but got this to look like it works? \b[a-z]+ looks for word boundary including beginning of sentence followed by at least 1 lowercase character (?-i) makes the expression case sensitive (?<![-.]) excludes hyphens and stop character ...
