Try DocFetcher and VS Code.
I think they have more features for this task.

Thank you NotNull. It seems to work. Still needs to be tested by someone who has both 32/64 operating systems. @echo OFF for /f "useback delims=" %%x in (`wmic.exe os get OSArchitecture /value`) do @>nul set %%x if %OSARCHITECTURE%==64-bit goto x64 goto x86 :x64 REM echo x64 start "&q...

Command-line. Now it retrives nothing (I guess it's expected). I failed in trying to print (echo) the value of variable x. I don't dabble with programming very often, so I'm quick to give up on trying to solve this myself. For me it will take hours and days (and I won't remember the material) what t...

Code: Select all

for /f "useback delims=" %%x in (`wmic.exe os get OSArchitecture /value`) do @>nul set %%x

CMD retrieves:
%%x was unexpected at this time.

Stamimail

Thank you. It works, but not ideally, due to the appearance of the cmd window.
I'm not sure but maybe powershell has the magic.

and they also can use a simple batch or login script to start the correct Everything version. Assuming we have in the same folder Everything.exe Everything64.exe Is it possible, for now, to upload here a bat or exe file, which will be placed in the same folder and be used as a launcher? Will it als...

Does anyone have an idea how to combine this

Excel file with 4 columns:
Key, English, New Language - Google Translate, New Language - Translator

Google Translate column is only translate suggestions and will help the translator with this task.

Finally, you (makelng) will use only the 1st and the 4th column.

I think the answer expalins why you don't want to support export (selection) to db.
What about import? I mean to support db in "open file list..." - will load a db as a filelist.
(more user friendly)
Is there any downside?

Stamimail

Firefox let you to open a New Private Window (Ctrl+Shift+P) (incognito in chrome) I think in a similar way, it is good to make within the UI an option to open a "new temporary instacne". What this will do is create a new temporary instance of Everything, a new window with all the existing ...

Stamimail

What about an option to export/import (selection) as an Everything db file? why not?
It will also be a convenient method to convert db to filelist.

There is a difference between the format of selecting one item and the format of selecting multiple items.
Did you try to make them similar?

100,000 items | Size: 10.0 MB | Path: C:\test

100,000 items | Size: 50.0 MB | 5 items selected

Stamimail

the most important file information is always in the same spot. No need to find it among lots of file details. (just like the number of files is always on the left side of the statusbar) I also support that the location of "size" be at the same spot. Only I think that everything you want ...

Stamimail

Tested again. The bug is still there.
Try x86

Stamimail

I don't know why the size indicator is located in the right side of the status bar.
You can easily move it to the left side, in the same place that "Size:" is located when there is one item selected. No need for duplicates.

Do we have a mechanism for sharing multiple settings? (save, set and reset)

The main Everything search window is not designed to edit file lists. I wish it will. There is a lot in common. It seems almost a duplicate. File List Editor doesn't support some features like Advanced Rename (for editing the filelist). Everything treats the files in file lists as offline. I will c...

If there is any concern in directly editing the (content of) file list file, there is a solution for this: In filelist mode, after renaming, the indicator of filelist mode will be changed: filelist.efu --> *filelist.efu filelist.txt --> *filelist.txt Changes will be made only in Everything (Results ...

Stamimail

Please let me know if this is useful. Yes, it is very useful, but needs some improvements. The big question here, do you want to bring this feature only to file lists, or to Everything in general?

When you RightClick on a non-Name column ("full row select is disabled"): I think it should show only the column relevant commands. Currently there is a lot of noise. Suppose you have an image.jpg file, and you right-click on the size column. Why commands of Name column should be shown? (l...

I will consider text-mode option for the advanced-renamer. For now, please try drag-dropping files onto the old filenames box.

In order to free up storage space, my friend asked me to search and move video files from his smartphone to his portable drive.

Time. Time spent on this can not be spend on other features. It is all about priorities. Did I say now? Just deciding whether it should be done or not. If indeed so, to put it on the "to do" list, and that's it. Managing the order of priorities in the big list implementation is void's man...

These non-EFU formats are intended to be used in other applications. This is true. But what's the problem with being able to import the list of files you created back? For example: Everything will never be able to decide if some path in an exported TXT file is a file or a folder. This is not true. ...

Stamimail

Everything doesn't behave the way the user is used to using a file explorer, i.e. Enter to enter the folder. In Everything Enter opens the folder in Windows Explorer. Therefore Explorer mode is required to get the same behaviour of file explorer. In Explorer mode it's not only the Enter key. There a...

Maybe. However this suggests otherwise. I'm not that familiar with ProcMon. According to what you wrote, it seems to be similar to the same problem but less similar to the same solution.
