I agree that having to assign a shortcut to then using an other shortcut is not as nice.

christophe

I have not yet have time to install AHK yet. But I have tried with PowerToys and I have found a solution: just assign any shortcut to Everything and use PowerToys to overwrite the Win+F key short thanks to the Keyboard Manager module : https://i.imgur.com/xEbrLL2.png (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F9 is the shortc...

I have this same issue, but with windows 10. Used the method on the site and the microsoft app still pops up. I am, however, able to use AutoHotKey to reclaim any windows key binding, including WIN+F. [as mentioned about QAP] Right now what I have is an AHK script to do this, but i'd rather have it...

christophe

I have tried QAP and it is managing this perfectly. It wish QAP could use Everything.

christophe

I can confirm that this tip for Win+F given in the support knowledge center of Voidtools Everything does not work, at least not in Windows 11. Even with this registry key, Win+F starts Feedback Hub, and you cannot assign Win+F to Everything. @Admin: You can update the support page by adding that the...

You could certainly try content indexing. Please make sure Tools -> Options -> Content -> Exclude recall on data access is unchecked. The initial index will download all files from the cloud. After indexing completes you will need to right-click your OneDrive folder (or right click the desired file...

christophe

Sorry I forgot to mention that I am interested in indexing the file content from my OneDrive. I do have the placeholder files on my hard-drive and Everything v1.5a is indexing them nicely. When I search for text content in Everything v1.5a : https://i.imgur.com/z24Za6h.png I can see that some files ...

=> I can search Cryptomator drive (added as a folder) !!! SOLUTION!!! How have you manage to make it work in Everything v1.5a exactly ? Are these the steps you have done to achieve this ? 1/ In Everything , from the Tools menu, click Options 2/ General on the left. Run indexing process as administr...

christophe

Hi, I have a lot of OneDrive files and a PC with limited storage space, how can I search at any time in my entire OneDrive files without permanently having these OneDrive files locally ? I am asking because I have seen that Everything v1.5a can make a search inside my USB external hard drive when it...

@horst.epp thank you, sync icon overlay works now: IconOverlaysOneDrive is for some reason not seem to change anything for me, but having IconOverlays=1 does display overlay icons

christophe

What should an overlay say for files that are available localy. This files are show with their normal associated file type icon. As there only 2 states of a file, the overlay for only on the cloud is enough info. I fully agree with you, it is a local like any other file, so does not need a special ...

christophe

Thank you, I now have the sync icon overlay for OneDrive files only available in the cloud. Do you also have the icon overlay on OneDrive folders that are only available in the cloud ? Windows is displaying also an icon overlay icon on OneDrive files that are available locally. In you TC, do you hav...

christophe

No, the ini file setting is all you need. You have to define it if its not there. So it should have worked, because I do not have the Cloud plugin installed as well. I have restarted the application and the pc, but I still have no sync overlay icons. The wincmd.ini file to modify is at this path, i...

christophe

Wow ! exactly what I want. Do we need the cloud plug to get this ?

I have added IconOverlaysOneDrive=1 in my wincmd.ini :

but I do not have the OneDrive status icon overlay.I have the latest version 10.52

christophe

I use Total Commander and it has all I need and much more than Windows Explorer. I guess you know much less of Total Commander as I about Explorer I definitely agree. I have tried to test all of them, but it takes a lots of time and effort (eg. attempting to have Directory Opus in full dark mode to...

christophe

Thank you all for the clarification of Ditto 😊 I am French, I didn't know Ditto was also an English word! I only knew a software with this name (I highly recommend you this tool by the way). I am surprised you have replaced File Explorer. I guess this is because you haven't used File Explorer since ...

What do you mean ? I do not understand (even though I am also a daily user of Ditto).

christophe

But also Everything doesn't know by default where you are in any file manager. The Hotkey approach only works with Windows Explorer. That would have been very useful 😥 Yes with /hotkey_explorer_path_search=1 Everything can be launched when on File Explorer window. I use Listary for this as it shows...

christophe

Using Everything Toolbar, is it possible to only search in the current folder you are currently viewing in File Explorer? and its subfolders Most of the time, I just need to search in the current folder I am in. If the search is not limited to this folder/subfolders, finding the result because too c...

christophe

Then any other place: it just needs to be brought to the knowledge of the end user.

christophe

Other people are reporting it to: and choose Listary because Everything does not have this feaure https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=49346#p49346 Just out of curiosity, what functions does listary provide that everything does not? Jump to current file manager path in Open/Save dialogs. ...

christophe

So if it is not possible via a command, Everything should do it like QAP, because this is an ESSENTIAL feature!

christophe

@horst.epp
Can you have a look at the command for File Explorer used in QAP and Listary ?

christophe

That's interesting ! It is great: it confirm it is possible to have a result being opened in the active File Explorer window or a new tab of it :) contrary to what was said til now Currently in Everything, it opens a NEW File Explorer windows, instead of opening it in your current File Explorer wind...

christophe

I have never tried Q-Dir, does it implement the File Explorer full features ? like all features of OneDrive ? all features of google Drive ? and has a fully dark mode ? I have tried File Explorer alternatives, that are reported as being the best of their class and they ALL completely failed to deliv...

christophe

Apparently it is not true, I read that some tools like Everything are able to open result in current File Explorer window : Listary: https://www.listary.com/ Quick Access Pop-up (QAP): https://www.quickaccesspopup.com/ I have not tried them myself. Can someone having them confirm ? It would be great...

christophe

I also wonder how it is even feasible to use a Everything without this essential feature.
(and using a 3rd party File Explorer is not the solution: I have tried them not one is able to manage all the features of cloud storage of OneDrive and Google Drive)

christophe

I have modified the configuration as you recommended :

For Explorer:

For Explorer Path:

But even after restarting the PC, I still have a new File Explorer window being opened when clicking on a Everything result folder

christophe

Hi, How can we open Everything folder results in the current File Explorer window ? Currently when we click on functionlist here, a brand new File Explorer window show up. As consequence you have dozen of File Explorer windows ! https://i.imgur.com/3OXmyLH.png This situation is particularly annoygin...

christophe

We are now in March 2023, is there now a way to open Everything folder results in the current File Explorer Windows (or in a File Explorer TAB instead of a new File Explorer New window) https://i.imgur.com/Cp75n04.png People having Windows 11 22H2 only want to have a single File Explorer window open...

christophe

I will consider enabling hotkey_explorer_path_search by default. The difficulty is that nothing in the settings, let the user know that Show window Hotkey is not enough. It should at least be written: the user also needs to type /hotkey_explorer_path_search=1 in Everything and that once is enough.

christophe

Thank you I have not looked just below in the big result box, not in the taskbar at the very bottom :roll: Now searching from a subfolder of File Explorer, works! Why is hotkey_explorer_path_search set to 0 by default ? Do I have to type again /hotkey_explorer_path_search=1 after rebooting my PC ?

christophe

The hotkey works here in an Explorer window. There must be hotkey_explorer_path_search set to 1 Its set on new installation by default. Just enter the following into the Everything search to see your setting /hotkey_explorer_path_search How do you enter this ? I have tested in Everything window: no...

christophe

Thanks for you answer. I have tested Option 1, it works, though it requires more mouse gestures (right-click and then moving to 'Search everything...') than with Windows search engine. For this reason, I really like the idea of having a keyboard shortcut, but when I do what you write for 'Option 2' ...

christophe

Hi, I really like Everything search capabilities, but I am annoyed by one thing : I really need to be able to search only in the current folder (and sub-folders) I am currently watching in File Explorer window. With Windows search engine, I just had to type in the search box on the top-right : https...
