I think I have been misunderstood, perhaps I did not explain myself well. Ideally there should be a option to hide a entry, whether its a folder or a bookmark item, from the bookmarks panel in the sidebar. The user can still see all bookmark folders and items, hidden or not, in the "Organize Bo...

Ralf_Reddings

Thats great to hear, I will look into these alternatives that you suggested as well, thanks.

Ralf_Reddings

The bookmarks panel is brilliant, it took me a while to see its potential. With the current option to assign a icon to a bookmark folder/bookmark etc its really neat. It would be nice if we can hide a given bookmark (or bookmark folder)/filter from its respective panel. For example I have a few book...

Ralf_Reddings

With the new panel additions to this side bar. When there is more than one panel visible in the sidebar, its no longer possible to toggle the sidebar's visibility with a single command/key. I can manage to toggle the sidebar's visibility by first toggling the bookmarks, filter or folders panels, the...

Ralf_Reddings

Hey looks like that version was just recently released, I will take a close look for sure!

Ralf_Reddings

This is great! Yes I will be making use of that alternative, cheers!

Ralf_Reddings

Currently Everything allows you to assign Menu commands, Bookmarks, Filters etc etc to only standard keyboard shortcuts such as f1 or ctrl+alt+f1 . I think, for some of us, it will be common to run out of keyboard keys that we can assign commands to. In my case, I try to avoid using two modifier lay...

Ralf_Reddings

Perfect. Thanks!

Ralf_Reddings

A GUI command and a command line to duplicate the current window would be really nice to have. If one has a window with a number of tabs, one or more side bars open and even a file list opened. Duplicating the window, should create a exact duplicate of the recent window. I am currently finding mysel...

Ralf_Reddings

Currently you can open a file list from File > Open File List... or at the command line: everything64 -filelist list1.csv But you can only open a single file, and you cannot add another file list to a window that already has a file list opened. It seems that when you open a file list, it is listed o...

Ralf_Reddings

If I open a file list at the command line: everything64 -s 'my search string' -filelist list2.csv The search window will be: my search string - My filter - list2.csv - Everything 1.5.0.1371a (x64) How is the default title format able to print the opened file list on the window title? There does not ...

Ralf_Reddings

oooh, I see. That makes sense. Thanks void!

Ralf_Reddings

<t>Believe me I considered going back to that and just be done with it a number of times, since Everything has no problem with it. its just that this data is also being written and read by two other programmes and they start to show noticeable decrease in performance when reading streams for 300 fil...

Ralf_Reddings

The settings is available under "advanced" page on settings window. But its not listed on INI Settings. It also does not seem to do what I thought it would do, which is to auto resize the columns to fit their values

Ralf_Reddings

Currently, Everything will read the entire alternate data stream. One idea is to use regmatches. Pardon me for the late follow up... I was able to test your solution, while it works as you intended, its really not applicable for what I need. It seems that the column is only temporary, once I change...

Ralf_Reddings

Is it possible to split the content of a Alternative Data stream and populate it into custom columns and have this association applied at all times not just when a search/filter is active? I found a similar question but on experimenting with the solution proposed by void, the operation is only being...

Ralf_Reddings

It works!
Cheers!

Ralf_Reddings

This was a life saver update. Thank you void!

Damn... I truelly am my worst enemy. Thank you NotNull. I just quickly run it again with your correction and I am getting predictable results.

@void, With your expalanation, I believe I have it figured out now. Thanks!

Searching "C:\dog run"|"C:\cat run" on a Everything 1.5 window correctly finds all of the items in directories dog run and cat run : C:\cat run\ C:\dog run\ C:\cat run\cats 1.png C:\cat run\cats 2.png C:\cat run\cats 3.png C:\dog run\dogs 1.png C:\dog run\dogs 2.png C:\dog run\do...

Ralf_Reddings

Okay, I take back my words. I have yet to find a complete solution for using "-" as part of the search. If there are three files like so: C:\dogs\dogs [list]man.png[/list] C:\dogs\dogs -man.png` C:\dogs\dogs[list]man.png`[/list] ES -match-path dogs ' -' man finds: C:\dogs\dogs - man.png C:...

Ralf_Reddings

Thanks for the answer void. I tried ES -match-path -max-results 5 cat '"-"' 5 .png but it did not work. I can confirm that ES -match-path -max-results 5 "cat [list]5" .png worked but I think this will prove difficult for me to use in my PowerShell module (7.4)[/list] I followed y...

Ralf_Reddings

For the life of me I cant figure out this function works, I spent yesterday thinking ES Cli was the issue but this morning I discovered the same issues I was having in ES cli are also reproducible in a Everything 1.5 window Lets say I have two directories: C:\cats C:\cats\cats 1.png C:\cats\cats 2.p...

Ralf_Reddings

For example, if I had a file with a dash in its name, cat - 5.png , I have tried the following calls to find it: ES -match-path -max-results 5 cat - 5 .png ES -Gmatch-path -max-results 5 "cat - 5" .png ES -match-path -max-results 5 cat "-" 5 .png ES -match-path -max-results 5 cat...

Ralf_Reddings

I use Everything's command line features heavily. One thing that I have been struggling is Everything saving the most recent Windows properties such as the width, height, search state, visible panels etc. This is actually one of my favourite features of Everything, but I am trying to automate things...

Ralf_Reddings

Now I understand much better, thank for this.

Ralf_Reddings

I knew this program had one more trick up its sleeve, I was just too inept to get it work.
Thank you for the clarification and the reminder for the operators void.

I am tripping with some of the search syntaxes and I am not sure what it is down. I dont have a particular scenario in mind. But I would like ask to about this. What is the difference between the following two searches: ext:<url;html> url:<bbc;thetimes> and: ext:<url|html> url:<bbc|thetimes> Are the...

Ralf_Reddings

Brilliant! Thank you.

Ralf_Reddings

I tried your suggestion and unchecked "Automatically include new fixed volumes" on all the setting pages they apear on, but the issue persisted. How I managed to fix it was, by removing all of the disks that appeared as 'offline' under the **NTFS** page. Some of these "offline" d...

Ralf_Reddings

The default search function parent-name: is not ideal for me, so I decided to rename it to parent: via a macro: "parent","parent-name:" Is it possible to also assign a macro to the now over written default function parent: ? Some time ago I remember reading a solution void gave w...

Ralf_Reddings

Hi Void, I tried that solution and mentioned it in my original post: I unchecked "Automatically include the new fixed volumes" and "Automatically include the new removable volumes" but this does not seem to do anything as when I mount new .mrimg files, everything rebuilds the DB ...

Ralf_Reddings

I use Macrium Reflect as my backup solution, it creates virtual drive images for every backup, that can then be mounted. Whenever I mount these drives, everything starts rebuilding the database, although this is not a full rebuild (it does not regather properties, of which I have a lot of) but it bu...

Ralf_Reddings

This is great news to hear. Thank you for looking into this Void. I will update later today. Cheers!

Pardon me, I should have mentioned it earlier. I am on Opus 12 I was going to try your suggestion of setting opus_meta_information to false but it already was false. Maybe this the default setting? But I did try setting it to true (and also cleared out tags, comment and ratings property indexing) wh...

Ralf_Reddings

Thank you! that did it!

I also I can confirm that either "Notes" or "Custom Property 2" column works!

Ralf_Reddings

Thank you for the help void. It still does not seem to work. As suggested, I updated my CSV to use Custom Property 2 as the column name. I also created a new Everything instance just to make sure it was not the configuration settings my main Everything interfering. Sadly that instance too is not sho...

Ralf_Reddings

For some reason when I export a file list and then I import back as a file list, my custom columns such as "Notes" (achieved with "custom_property_2") dot not display at all. The information is present in the CSV file itself but the everything window does not display the value un...

I had no idea you could use "Formula syntax is supported (c-style expressions)" with the ini setting keys. Thanks to your example I was quickly get a hotkey set up. With the c-style exptresssions, this means its now possible to perform logical expressions with ini settings. I will have to ...

Ralf_Reddings

This is great. Your support and dedication to Everything is really what makes it great! Thank you.

Ralf_Reddings

Void, Thank you for the help! I had no idea about -config-value (nor -config for completely overriding the ini file). This is a godsend! So I tried your solution and sure enough it works, I should have known you was thinking way ahead. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find a way to create a hotkey tha...

Ralf_Reddings

I use everything as a solution for allot of things, often I need to hide or "turn of" various aspects of Everything, so it fits, its single purpose use in a specific context. One thing I cant turn of is the Everything search edit bar. There are many use cases where I don't need the search ...
