Hi!

The method I used affected just 60.000 files and took under ten seconds. A "force rebulid" of the whole db with 6.500.000 files (most on network resources) takes hours.

Hi! I'm using Everything 1.5 alpha and always keep it up to date. This morning it listed numerous files that don't exist any more on a local HDD formatted with NTFS. I solved this by excluding the drive from the db and set "Include in database" again (with hitting "Apply" twice o...

Hmm, there's more. I'm still trying ADS and find it confusing. E.g.: The filter "!adsnames:' will show all files w/o ADS. After adding ADS to all found files most of them will immediately vanish from the list in Everything but a few remain, though "Alternate Data Stream Names" is one ...

Hi! This seems to work: ext:tif.jpg \buddies\ regex:^(.*\\[^\\]+)\\(.*)\\(.*)(\.[^/.]+)$ !fileexists:\1\\\3 regex101 was very helpfull: https://regex101.com/r/8py4PC/1 Group 1 and group 3 are used to build the fileexists expression. Took me quite some time with lots of try and error :? Thanks for re...

Hi! Seems I'm totally lost in the regex and its recall (\1. . .\9) matches. [sigh] Given the following samples: Original file: <path>\<filename>.tif Buddy file: <path>\buddies\<filename>.tif.jpg "buddies" is a fixed folder name. How can I find all buddy files that without an existing origi...

Nope this doesn't help. But possibly I've found the culprit:


"ADS_test.xmp" just is a copy of "ADS_test.txt".

Hi! Prepare a file: >echo streamdata >D:\test\ADS\ADS_test.txt:streamname This is what Sysinternals streams64.exe shows: >streams64.exe d:\test\ADS\ADS_test.txt d:\test\ADS\ADS_test.txt: :streamname:$DATA 13 And here's a screen shot of Everything 1.5.0.1338: ET_1338.jpg It's my understanding that &q...

Can't be done at the moment, sorry. I will consider an option to do this. OK, good to now. So I need to grab all .tif files, then grab the matching .jpg and compare their dates in a loop. Hmm, pretty lengthy. Anyway, thanks for your lightning fast response, flubber [Edit] I think I found something ...

Thank you for your attention, I appreciate it. Yes, "\variants\" is always the same string, only path and filename stem vary. I was already trialling: ext:tif regex:^(.*)\.[^.]*$ !fileexists:\variants\\\1.jpg to find missing variants. This works for me because all filename stems are unique...

I have a number of pairs like this:

path\filename.tif
path\variants\filename.jpg

I need to find all path\variants\filename.jpg with date modified older then date modified of path\filename.tif

Any ideas how to do this?

Hi! That doesn't work for me either. As the file properties dialogue in Explorer and the explore windows, Everything will not show any iptc/xmp/exif meta data embedded in .XMP side car files. Here's a sample: https://i2.paste.pics/JNXQ9.png?trs=d39f6a8f42e74f733b657c0972c5cfc0993a0269361a6fa40404ef1...
