Everything 1.5.0.1368a This secondary sort is no longer consider when showing dupe lines. Found a bug in 1370a about dupe_lines when using a "!" before the 2nd sort: If I want to find all files with same size but different directories: z:\ dupe:size;!path result showing addtionanl lines i...

You will need to force a rebuild to pickup the correct size and dates. You can force a rebuild from Tools -> Options -> Indexes -> Force Rebuild, or Tools -> Options -> NTFS -> volume -> Right click -> Reindex This sometimes happens when I download files to my external disks (USB cable connected). ...

I'll look into using the dupe properties instead of the current sort for the dupe lines. "dupe_lines" should be added only to differentiate each dupe group. My use case: - find files dupes on size - for each dupe group (same size file), sort them by ext or path, so I can easily tell which...

bit

I want to find files of dupe ext and then sort by path in each dupe group.

Code: Select all

file: z: dupe:ext   sort:ext;path

However the addtional sort will break dupe_lines. It now adds lines on all rows.

Looks like a bug introduced in recent versions.

Everything 1.5.0.1366a will now only assign custom columns when they are visible, you perform a search on a custom column or sort by a custom column. Previously, Everything would assign custom column values on search. This change invalids many of my old bookmarks, such as regex:"(item|id)(\d+)...

This command are not so clear to me. I guess it only gather info for shown columns which not indexed.
"Gather needed column data for selected rows" might be more clear.

When export to tab-seperated txt, if any column is a property not indexed, it's not garanteed to be exported with the right value, but empty instead. Like "Aspect Ratio" for video. Looks like it need time to show this property and everything only show it when the row is not hidden to user....

when finding dupes a faster hash algorithm is preferred. we have dupe:size;sha256 , but it's a bit slow. (also sha1/md5/sha512) I found a better hash algorithm there for non-cryptographic use, which fit the need for fastly dedupe files. xxHash, especially XXH3, which is fastest in my knowledge. Look...

ok good to know this.
I guess sort: after dupe: should have no side-effects on dupe: behavior, but only change the order of result items?

I know dupe:p1;p2;p3 will auto set sort to p1-p2-p3, and then I can change that by adding sort:p2;p3;p1 so new sort is p2-p3-p1 dupe:col1;col2 sort:col2;col3;width;path But if I place the sort before dupe:, the result list changes. sort:col2;col3;width;path dupe:col1;col2 seems "sort:" can...

currently the search bar only dispaly one line, makes it hard to edit a long search content.
