Thank you. Very useful information. As I anticipated, it is not a problem in Everything, because it takes into account the modification date, which is not limited to the hour and minute as it appears in the window. By design, Windows updates the modification date first for what I actually modified, ...

cata_solo

Thank you void. Modified dates are correct for both folders.

My confusion was related to whether or not Everything takes into account the seconds of the date. Of course it should, in order to sort correctly.

cata_solo

I forgot to mention that I am using "Mix Files and Folders" features from View > Sort By menu.

cata_solo

Steps to reproduce this issue: 1. Sort the results in the Everything window by the Date modified column in descending order. 2. Create a folder on the Desktop and named it Parent. It appears immediately in Everything. 3. Open the folder and create a new folder named it Child. Look in the Everything ...

Thank you very much @void for the help related to the question #2.

cata_solo

Steps to reproduce this strange behavior 1. Open Everything. In my case it is 1.5.0.1366a x64 portable version 2. Sort by "Date Modified" column - descending order 3. Select the very first file at the top, in my case an Excel file edited today. Right click on the row and run "Open Pat...

It should be mentioned that the process started leaking the memory only if the application was running. As soon as the application was closed, the process remained at the same value from that moment. I am glad that this issue has been solved.

cata_solo

Many thanks @void for your support, a great one as usual. For me it was not a big issue as long as this version is in the Alpha stage. Also, the fact that I can do checks based on the previous versions that are public was very important to find out where the problem appeared. At the moment the appli...

cata_solo

As I mentioned, I use Everything Alpha, the x64 portable version, for almost 1 year. At each update, I download the portable archive, kill the process, then copy the executable in place of the previous one. I start the application, the service starts too. Please note that 2.1 MB is using the service...

cata_solo

Please note that I am only replacing the executable file, all the other files including the configuration file remain the same.

I tested only the x64 portable version.

cata_solo

I have been using the alpha version for almost 1 year without any issues. Last week I updated version 1363 to 1364 and today I noticed that 1365 is available. To replace the executable file I have to stop the service and obviously I look at how much memory it consumes. I noticed with amazement that ...

cata_solo

I confirm this issue was fixed with the new release 1341a

cata_solo

@void - Thank you. I am not using any active icon filter. Actually, I didn't make any changes in the program settings, except setting up the places where I need to be indexed. I replaced the executable every time you launched a new version, but this time by replacing it I immediately saw the issue r...

cata_solo

icon_shell_extensions=1, but it must also have the value 0. I personally reported an issue where it was necessary to set this value. It is not a setting problem. I ran both versions without the Everything-1.5a.ini file, I just put each portable x64 executable in that directory and ran it. Then each ...

cata_solo

An image is worth a thousand words. A visual comparison between program windows 1339a versus 1340a. The file icons on the left side are not displayed. I have been using version 1.5 since November 2022. I download the portable version and replace the existing executable file on the computer. This tim...

cata_solo

The recently released version 1.5.0.1340a has an issue related to the file icons. In the program window, none of the displayed files have the associated icon anymore, they are all the same. I restored version 1.5.0.1339a and solved the issue.

cata_solo

Nice tip. For the moment I renamed the file and I continue using it as -1.5a.exe. When the first beta will be available I make the changes for all files, including the process name.

cata_solo

I am using the portable version. The only file in the archive is Everything64.exe. Shouldn't it be the file name Everything-1.5a.exe? The other files in the directory are ending as follows -1.5a.ini, -1.5a.db, -1.5a.csv, -1.5a.ico.

cata_solo

Thank you @void.

cata_solo

You are correct. Thank you for your help.

cata_solo

Windows Search is not bad but it has big implementation issues that start from the way it interacts with the user, how it creates its index and many more. I think what Microsoft offered in Windows XP was the last search for everyone. It is inadmissible to provide us with a small box in Windows Explo...

cata_solo

Version 1.5 - Portable version all files in one place. According to this manual page https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/customizing/#icon if I place an icon file in the same directory where Everything.exe is I should be able to change the program icon. I followed the steps without success....

cata_solo

@void - Thank you. I will follow your advices.

cata_solo

Excellent. Thank you for your detailed explanation.

I prefer using Ctrl + Space or the dropdown at the end of the search row than having a long menu with search strings. I will keep nav_history off. Maybe you should analyze to insert this as an option in UI.

cata_solo

Version 1.5 If "Search history" is disabled in Options we should not see the History menu at all. On the other hand, you can keep it just to inform this feature exists in Everything. If you want to keep it visible please remove the link * (Empty) , it does nothing. Also, without "Sear...

cata_solo

Of course there are solutions to reduce the collected data. In my case there are 2 million objects just documents (Acrobat, Microsoft Office).

cata_solo

Setting up a search delay value in Tools > General > Search is welcome and very useful. The only issue even this value is set is related to the content: filter. Only if there is a content index to start searching ( Options > Indexes > Index file content checked), otherwise the search should start if...

cata_solo

I confirm this new option stops disks activity when scrolling fast up and the down the results window. Both should be used.

Thank you.

cata_solo

Thank you very much for the tips. I will implement all of them to check what is happening.

cata_solo

This option icon_shell_extensions=0 has no effect in version 1.5, but it works in 1.4.

Scrolling through the results window, around 450.000 objects the HDDs hum and have intense activity.

cata_solo

In Tools > Options > Content I checked only "Index file content" and I left all the others as they were determined by you. On a desktop with a last-generation processor, 128 RAM DDR4 and NVMe x4, content indexing takes a very long time. For almost 500,000 indexed objects around 250 GB in t...

cata_solo

This option icon_shell_extensions=0 has no effect in version 1.5. It works in 1.4 only. Scrolling through the results window, the HDDs hum and have intense activity.

cata_solo

What happens if someone doesn't want to make the content indexing? Indexing content will create a huge database in some cases, will consume resources to process it and many more. What I reported is a real issue. Only if there is a content index created the "Search as you type" option shoul...

cata_solo

Everything version 1.5. Make a few searches then go to the "History" menu and select "Show All Search History..." link. Press [Delete All] button on the right side and all the searches are gone from the list, then press OK. Open the "History" menu again. All your search...

cata_solo

In version 1.5 it is very hard to cancel a content search. I pressed Cancel, I deleted the query string nothing happened. An annoying window comes over and over asking me to Terminate Everything?. If I press Terminate it continues to ask me in a loop. I have to end the task to stop this. Content sea...

cata_solo

It seems it was replaced by the F6 key.

cata_solo

In version 1.4 when I was pressing the F3 key I was able to focus and highlight the search edit (see the page https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/keyboard_shortcuts/). This a very useful feature. In version 1.5 this is not working anymore. Just select a file in the result area and press F3....

cata_solo

This is Everything 1.5.0.1330a. Just type content : in the search area and see what is happening. Everything will start searching "something" inside all indexed objects. I was not able to end this process even I pressed Cancel, I tried to delete the filter. This is not a correct behavior i...

cata_solo

I replaced version 1.4 with 1.5 and I was not able to reproduce this issue. Version 1.5 immediately found the files containing the 1234 string. CPU usage was around 50%, when the program reaches 1GB of RAM starts again from 100 MB. This is happening a few times I guess the developer set up some rule...

cata_solo

I installed Everything 1.4 on a high-performance desktop (AMD Ryzen 9 7950x, 128 GB RAM DDR4, SSD Samsung 980 Pro 4.0 x4). I indexed a single directory on drive C: that has 40.000 objects (directories and files). I tried to search in the content of the files for string "1234" but without s...

cata_solo

@void - Thank you for the solution offered. I managed to make the selection quickly as follows: Tools > Options > Indexes > NTFS I de-selected all the drives that I didn't want indexed (Include in database). Then I added those directories on each drive to the Include only field. I didn't use the Exc...

cata_solo

@void - I don't have an issue with consumed resources. I wanted to test how it is to fully index all storage devices. Later I will index only certain directories. The option you recommended gave me results in version 1.4. Now the HDDs no longer hums when I scroll the results quickly up and down. I h...

cata_solo

@void - thank you for your explanation.

cata_solo

I have 2 SSDs and 4 HDDs. I indexed them in full to test Everything. There are around 1.3 million objects in the results and the Everything application consumes memory around 210 MB and the background process takes 22.6 MB. I sorted the Path column then I quickly scrolled the window from top to bott...

cata_solo

I forgot to mention it is the latest 1.4 version.

cata_solo

Go to Tools > Options > Indexes > Exclude . Press [Add Folder ...] button and select a directory then click OK. Now the directory appears in the list. Repeat the same step for the same directory. Now you have in the list two times the same directory. In this way you can add the same directory n time...

cata_solo

@void - You're right, it can be edited directly in the ini file, but I wondered why the author didn't include it in the UI if this option exists?

cata_solo

It will be a great addition to get autocomplete filters in the Search input line. For example, if I type siz to see with light grey color size:

This will help to easy learn the filters, macros and avoid mistakes.

PS - I am sorry if this was suggested before.

cata_solo

I forgot to mention that in my case Everything version it is 1.4.1.1022 (x64).

According to this resource https://voidtools.com/support/everything/ini/, for size_format there are 4 values between 0 and 3 as follows: 0 = Best format depending on the size 1 = Always show sizes in bytes 2 = Always show sizes in KB 3 = Always show sizes in MB Let's go to Tools > Options > General ...
