follow the example of EverythingDopus - A utility to integrate Everything with Directory Opus on the Directory Opus forum. Hi. I think that utility uses temporary files (similar to es.exe). I was referring to something similar to the Visual Basic example , but to be used with Active Scripting (e.g....

Thanks for reply. What would that list look like? Is a list of fullpaths, like this: C:\Windows C:\Windows\notepad.exe what would the desired output look like EXACTLY i would like to look like this: ;Fullpath filecount dircount filecounttotal dircounttotal C:\Windows 1000 1000 2500 2500 C:\Windows\n...

Does anyone know if there is any wrapper or similar tool that allows using Everything as a COM object? I understand it is an outdated technology, but since it is the only possible option to obtain search results in a script for Directory Opus (which uses Active Scripting), without resorting to tempo...

Greetings. I would like to find the best way (if possible, in a single command) to obtain via es.exe, from a list of items (files and folders, omit the files), a text file with the following data: - Filecount (non-recursive) - Dircount (non-recursive) - Total Filecount - Total Dircount Note that the...

Thanks void, good to know.
Kudos for your hard work and premier tech support.

Wait for the results, they should be instant.

Thanks, void. This also works for Everything v1.4?

If I end up with a search started using the current SDK, which is taking too long, is there a way to stop the process, and only have the results obtained up to that point?

I've done the following steps to verify where Directory Opus stores labels Create a new text file, so I make sure that I don't have any ADS at the beginning. Set a label via Directory Opus to the created file. I used the Nirsoft Alternative Data Stream Viewer tool to see what streams the file contai...

Sorry for caussing you some confussion. I was talking about Directory Opus Tags. Those are written in OpusMetaInformation as well. In this post, you give support for Directory Opus Tags in Everything

The label is unfortunately not stored in the [5]SummaryInformation stream

Exactly, is stored in OpusMetaInformation stream, like Tags. That's why I was wonder, since support for Tags was already achieved (see here), it would be more easy to extended the support for labels as well.

Labels are no longer stored in the OpusMetaInformation stream. I thought so, since the file I uploaded in the first post was newly created, I put a label on it and looked at Everything. In Alternative Data Stream Name only appeared OpusMetaInformation please send a copy of the Alternate Data Stream...

Happy holydays void, I hope you had a wonderful time. Closely related to this other post , where Directory Opus Tags were finally supported, would there be a way to extend that support to Labels ? As far as I can see, like tags, they are also written in OpusMetaInformation . And the ADS Hex column v...

Useful information! Thanks for clarify this @void

rating:3/5
rating:>2/5

I stick with this then since is more user friendly for automation

Whenever I try to search by ratings set via Directory Opus, I get confused about their numerical values.
1 star = 1
2 stars = 25
3 stars = 50
4 stars = 75
5 stars = 99

Why they can't be just 1,2,3,4,5 or 1,25,50,75,100?

please check if opus comments are also working with opus tags

Yes, I can see in Everything all the comments I set via Directory Opus for all filetypes.
Also, I can confirm that tags are showing now as expected. (meaning the txt and mp3 file cases from before).

Again, many thanks.

Many thanks @void!!!

please send a copy of the Alternate Data Stream Hex values There you go FEFF00000A0002000000000000000000000000000000000001000000E0859FF2F94F6810AB9108002B27B3D930000000A800000004000000010000002800000000000080300000000600000038000000050000007C00000002000000B0040000130000000A0C00001F0000001D000000750...

Thanks @void After set opus_meta_information to false , still with the same issues, but I found something that might be useful: In a txt file: Set a value in Tag via Directory Opus => I can see the value in Everything. Set multiple tags via Directory Opus => I can only see the first value in Everyth...

Sorry for the dumb question @void, but does this mean that Tags set by Directory Opus should be visible in Everything now? Because I'm still being unable to get this to work. I have summary_information=1 and opus_meta_information=1 but still can't. Update: I do see now "Tags" for other fil...

@void Could you maybe contact the Directory Opus devs and ask them directly what change was made in v13 that caused this to stop working? Pretty sure that they will cooperate with you since they are nice guys

Is there a way to customize each line that Everything returns when using the SDK? Something like adding values ​​from other columns. e.g. When I search for duplicates, I would like it to return the group number preceding the full file name e.g. 1; c:\\somefile.txt 1;d:\\dupe of somefile.txt 2;c:\\an...

Thanks. @void Currently there is no way to do something similar with custom columns?

Could you consider adding a new column that shows the group number to which an item belongs when using dupe? The value shown would be 01 for all items in group 1, 02 for items in group 2, and so on.
Thanks for your consideration!

Could you consider adding a confirmation to delete files when pressing the Delete button?
Thanks for you consideration!

Many thanks @void! <size:948 ext:txt>|<size:4548 ext:png> -dupe: is not required But without dupe, I get the original files even if there are no duplicates, and since my goal is to find possible duplicates of those files...that's why I put it in. -no need to search for the original files or use dupe...

@void do you have any thoughts /suggestions?

Sorry for my lazy responses and to bump this thread up. I am going to try to present a specific scenario and the commands I am using to know if it is the right way to achieve my goal or not. With the following items: File: C:\my file 1\file1.txt ; size = 948 bytes File: C:\my file 2\file2.png; size ...

Thank you. I was hoping for some syntax so I could use it outside of Ev. (With some tool that has support). For example, to find duplicates between 2 paths, you can use the syntax: c:/path1|c:/path2 file:dupe:ext:size. I'm wondering if there is a way to do something similar, but instead of comparing...

Let's say I have a folder in c:folder with 3 files: 1.txt, 2.txt and 3.txt. What would be the syntax to find all duplicates for 1.txt, 2.txt and 3.txt?
Thanks in advanced.

@abr01 a bit offtopic, but are you talking about Tags created with Directory Opus? Can you see that data inside Everything correctly? I remember that I could do it with Dopus v12, but if I create new ones or modify them with v13, they are no longer visible in Everything.

What about tags and labels. Can you see it through Everything? Because last time I checked I couldn't. BTW I do can see comments and rating too

Many thanks!

Thanks for answer @void. I made a new sample. The stored metadata is: - Rating: 5 stars - Tags: sample;test - Status(label): Important The ADS HEX is 1400000001000000000000000000000000000000D54F4E28CEDF034495A952A86E827927. sample.zip I attach the file in a zip file, so you can check it when you hav...

I have been trying to make Everything able to use metadata that Directory Opus stores without success. The metadata is: Tags Rating Status (is a DOpus label) As I have read previously, I have enabled opus_meta_information to 1, but neither the Tags column, nor Rating, and I don't know where the othe...
