Never thought about this before, but now that you mention it, i realised that annoys me too in explorer.

I believe what you want is called "natural sorting". It should already be available as per viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9791#natural

Thanks, that works just as well too!

@NotNull thanks, confirmed it works. _Now let's see what that option breaks in the future._

I am sure such files exist and are indexed by Everything, because i can search for them by full name:

I would like to search for the little poopies that macos creates, the files which start with "._".

I expected `startwith:"._"` to work, but it does not. I attached a screenshot of what i want to search for.

This is an interesting idea: store the content in something like an SQLite with FTS?

I am talking about "content indexing" feature, not about the usual file indexing which should not be changed.

I have found the issue:

`General` - `Search` - `Focus search on activate` -- this should be disabled. Interesting that no Advanced setting was highlighted for this.
Anyway, now i need to find out how to `Focus search when window is opened`.

Thanks for the support!

The changed settings are these ones: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12D8rXm ... sp=sharing

I tried with `clear_was_result_focus_in_view_on_file_operation` both true and false without a difference

I would like to know how to make Everything remember the selected file in the result list, after i do a file action. In the video from the link at the bottom, it can be see that every time i press enter and a file opens, the selection is moved back to search, instead of remaining on the file i had o...

Reminder that Everything defaults should be changed: viewtopic.php?p=55830#p55830

Reminder that the new user default could be improved: viewtopic.php?p=55837

Thank you very much ! It works as expected

phpBB offers ATOM feeds, not RSS, but i don't think that's a problem for any news reader. There is a feed for "all new posts and their replies" here: https://www.voidtools.com/forum/feed.php However, there is not a feed for "all new posts, NO replies". It should have been availab...

@void, this question makes me bump again my thread which suggests (arguably) better Everything defaults: viewtopic.php?p=55837

It's great to hear that you have it planned. Thanks a lot for the response!

There is a big drawback with `Mix files and folders` imo: Copy from another issue: I want to sort by 2 columns: sort by both run count and path at the same time, in this order. From this perspective, what _I_ would like Everything to do is to mix files and folders together, sorted by path, when they...

Thank you for the input @NotNull! One thing which i see you don't touch (and nobody else did) is the fact that i want to sort by 2 columns: sort by both run count and path at the same time, in this order. From this perspective, what _I_ would like Everything to do is to mix files and folders togethe...

@ChrisGreaves thanks for your suggestion about "default search". I'm already using that! However that does not fix my original issue: > If i use `sort:runcount;path`, either by typing that, or by using the `GUI, View -> Sort By -> Advanced Sort` [...] i cannot use `Mix files and folders` [...

This is an interesting discussion. What is, for you, _normal usage_?

# Part 1: What I want Right now I use Everything from FlowLauncher, as a general purpose search, nothing more. I want to search for subparts of the full path, and to get my folders and files. A sample of how i use it is this: https://i.imgur.com/TX4C2fy.png My settings are - sort by `RunCount`, by c...

Regarding > while E is indexing i cannot search anything else. from above. It seems that if i rescan, searching works and files are not hidden. So it seems that the files are hidden only when adding a new thing to index, not when reindexing an existing thing. It also happens if i edit an exclude fil...

Another log: filter seems to work this time: `**Library\CloudStorage**`

Note: using Service to index and not "Indexing as admin" via separate E instance.

> I wonder if there's a non-printable unicode character in the path or filter? I assume there was none in the filter, because i typed that myself in SublimeText first, then copy pasta into E. I am not 100% sure about the path, but i didn't see any after browsing in windows explorer, then copy pasta ...

Please see in the file attached. I have a network share of a Mac: `Y: (pokambrian)` I added the exclude filter: `**Library\CloudStorage**`, but it doesn't seem to work for that network share, because all the files under ``` Y:\Library\CloudStorage\GoogleDrive-...\.shortcut-targets-by-id\...\SRL ``` ...

Hello, I answer this question myself: The solution is to enable Search -> Match Path (Ctrl + U)

1. I have the following - D:\Wallpapers\Artstation\[other folders] - many/other/nested/folders/artstation1 - many/other/nested/folders/artstation2 ... - many/other/nested/folders/artstation40000 - many2/other/nested/folders/wallpaper artstation00001.jpeg [...] - many2/other/nested/folders/wallpaper ...
