Ok... thank you sir!

andymbody

Select all the files and press Ctrl + F5. This started the indexing... thank you for this! I was not aware of this Ctrl+F5 option and did not see it in the docs (is it documented there?). I did do a search afterwards for hits on Ctrl+F5 and found some entries in the forum. I'm not sure how I would ...

I have 2 8TB NTFS drives. The crc-32 property index for drive R looks to be up to date. However, drive S does not seem to be updating this property index. I've tried a number of things, but see no changes. Specifically I just moved 9gb from C drive to each backup drive (R, S) manually. I used Win ex...

That's funny... I was just about to suggest a note field for bookmarks as well... must be something in the air lately... :) I sometimes forget why I made certain decisions about all the other fields in the bookmark, and a note field would provide a way to remind myself about all those details, espec...

:!: Ditto to this request! :) I'm currently trying to write an interface that can export ET results and display this grouping based on a query string. But I'm struggling with the design and details. If this could be done within ET, that would be amazing! Thanks for considering it! I just discovered ...

Thank you!

. :?: "The non-wildcard extension is case sensitive." Clarification... the following also excludes the uppercase ini file. file: setup ext:INI;inf;ex? This bug also causes the opposite behavior when using the not (!) operator. When attempting to exclude an extension, it will instead show t...

andymbody

Here is a little different situation.

It found the uppercase file that matches the wildcard, but did not list the uppercase file that did not include the wildcard char.

I did find that the USB drive has an issue. It's more than 10 years old. It's a wonder that it is still working at all. I'm not sure why the card has the same issue. It is connected directly to a hardware port in my laptop that is less than 3 years old. But if it should be populating normally, then ...

andymbody

"Could you please reply with the content of this file." Yes, but... I narrowed the cause to the wildcard character (?) for ext: filter. See screenshot... If I do not use the (?) wildcard character, it finds the uppercase file as expected. Otherwise it omits this (and other uppercase) file(...

andymbody

Update: This issue is seen when using wildcards in extension filter (ext:) list I think there is a bug with "match-case"... Results will not find all cases (specifically uppercase) when "match-case" is turned off. Using Version 1.5.0.1354a (x64)... (I don't know if this happens ...

andymbody

Ok... will do... thanks!

I certainly hope you are immortal, because you are a wealth of knowledge that cannot be duplicated!

andymbody

Nothing excluded. It works when I add the drives as folders, so I will do that. If I figure out why this is happening, I will post an update. The laptop is part of a domain and managed by the organization... maybe that has something to do with it. I'll connect the drive to another computer and see i...

Thank you!!

My laptop does not show any search results from my external NTFS Card or USB drive They are both listed in NTFS section of options, but I cannot see any files in search results. See attached screenshot. It's probably a setting which is causing this, but I have been unsuccessful in locating the reaso...

Thank you both!

Thank you for the info David! I will be sure to backup the LocalAppData DB also in the future. I may revert back to the previous version when I get home. I assume that I can just replace LocalAppData DB (or uncheck this option) with the one from the Everything folder that I backed up, then run 1335 ...

andymbody

I have not updated Everything since 1335. It was working fine this morning. I then decided to update from 1335 to 1352 just now. When I rebooted computer and opened EverythingApp, it started indexing again from scratch. I only have one property that needs index (CRC-32). Issue: 1. External files tha...

Ok... thank you for the explanation! Sizefilelist1 is a huge help in itself! It narrows the list to a manageable length to work with.

Thank you Sir!

1. Lets say I have a folder on c drive that has 50 files in it. 2. Each file has unique properties (different file types, dates, etc). 3. Is it possible to find the duplicates of these 50 files on another drive? Without having to search for the dupes for each file one-by-one? Example: S1. 1st search...

andymbody

Just a thought... To avoid the majority of issues related to this setting... would it be worth prompting the user during load if Everything detects that a drive letter has changed, or that it finds 2 drives with the same volume ID? If Everything prompted in those infrequent occurrences, the user cou...

andymbody

In your case andymbody, I would leave this option disabled (the default setting)

Yes, will do... thank you for all your help with this issue!

andymbody

You're too quick for me! lol Sorting by row doesn't make much sense, so Everything is just sorting by name for now. Searching for the row index with row: doesn't make any sense either, so it also does nothing for now. Yes, I see your point... and I agree for the most part... the use that I had was f...

andymbody

I would like to display the results-list sorted in a way to know which file/path is currently being indexed at the moment, or was last indexed. I found a column called 'date indexed' but the latest date shown 29 hours ago (not live) and I assume this is stamped at the completion of an index operatio...

andymbody

I've tried to find a way to add a column to the results-list that would show the row number/index of each item in the list. Basically a 'list-index'. Much like you see in Excel on the far left of the table. I have been unsuccessful at finding such a 'column' within the list of possible columns that ...

I'm new to Everything, but I use this... file: path:<r|s>:\ !dupe: It shows only files that are unique to one drive or the other (not duped between them).

I think this is caused by the mirroring software. I don't use any mirror sw, but maybe I did in the past... I can't remember...

andymbody

I am already guessing the two volumes have the exact same serial number.

They do show the same in the ini, but when I inspect the hardware serial manually, they are different

Disabling auto_move_ntfs_volumes should fix the issue:

Will do this and report back...

andymbody

You can have the complete script if you want.

That would be great... can you tell me where to find it?
Does it include code for extracting column header text?

You should not run Everything in Admin mode as this may prevent your access
