yes, void will be my main forum user name from now on..

What is displayed in the errorlog.txt file after the crash with the latest alpha available from:
"Everything" version 1.2.1.451a?

"Everything" version 1.2.1.451a Changes: improved searching for folders by up to 20 times faster. fixed unrecognized included volumes in the options window. fixed an issue with the volume monitors not releasing handles when safely remove device requested to unmount a volume. fixed a displ...

http://www.voidtools.com/Everything-1.2.1.451a.zip Please make sure you exit "Everything" completely before running the alpha version. To exit "Everything" completely: Right click the "Everything" icon in the system tray. Click Exit. Changes: improved searching for fold...

I have added some additional debugging information for the next release of "Everything"..

Hopefully we can find the cause of this issue.

I will post an updated alpha release in Announcements in the next few days..

I have not released the source code, yet..

Are you trying to compile your project for the x64 platform target?
The everything.dll is only 32bit.

Updated known issues for "Everything" version 1.2.1.446a

Looks like "Everything" or another app could be using up all the system handles. This usually causes the app to disappear with out showing any error message. With Windows Task Manager are there any processes with a large number of Handles (>1000), GDI Objects (>1000), Threads(>50)? Before ...

Try running "Everything" in debug mode.

To run "Everything" in debug mode:
Run Everything.exe with the -debug command line option.

What is displayed in the debug output when "Everything" crashes?

Do you get any results?
Are the results incorrect?

Try the following regex search:

Code: Select all

[(][0-9]*[)][.]mp3

"Everything" is failing to create the edit control after it has successfully created the toolbar. When this fatal error occurs "Everything" should display a message box: Everything 1.2.1.371: .\src\ui.cpp(121): ui_t::on_create(): Assertion failed Last Windows Error 0: Error Messa...

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
"Everything" is holding a handle to the volume again.. I will release a fix asap.

when I type that keyboard shortcut, everything will open the file (just like when I pressed enter in the result list now) AND close itself. Great Idea! I have added a new keyboard shortcut ResultList.ExecuteAndClose for the next release of "Everything". Also, you might like to try enablin...

The list tab will be for indexing non-NTFS volumes.
For example, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, network drives, FAT volumes, etc..

You will be able to build lists from these folders to include in the database.

So what do you mean by "CPU intensive"? It depends on the number of results. Sorting one million files and folders by path will take about 20 seconds on a 3GHZ CPU. Keeping the previous sort when there is only a small (customizable) number of results is on my "Things to do" list.

This is a known issue with "Everything". Unicode AM and PM text will not work in "Everything" 1.2.1.371. This has been fixed for the next release of "Everything". You might like to test this now with the latest alpha version of "Everything" available from: &qu...

You will need to escape the white-spaces in your search with double quotes (").

For example, to search for:
c:\documents and settings\user\my documents\pics *.gif
type:

Code: Select all

"c:\documents and settings\user\my documents\pics\" *.gif

You can set a Hotkey to toggle the search window or create a new search window. To change the hotkeys: In " Everything ", from the Tools menu, click Options . Click the General tab. Press the new keyboard shortcut in the new window hotkey edit or toggle window hotkey edit . Click OK .

AND now has higher priority than OR.

Searching for ext:mkv J:|K:|L: means (ext:mkv AND J:) OR K: OR L:
You will need to use parenthesis ext:mkv <J:|K:|L:> to override the default precedence.

The latest alpha version does remember the last sort for some columns. however, since sorting by path is CPU intensive, "Everything" reverts to sorting by name after searching. Keeping the sort order for smaller results is on my "Things to do" list. You might like to try the late...

Please try "Everything" version 1.2.1.446a.

To enable caching icons by name:

In "Everything", from the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the View tab.
From the Advanced settings, View folder, check Cache all icons by name.
Click OK.

"Everything" version 1.2.1.446a

cd: cm: cw: is not effect

Confirmed, the new cx[smhdwMy] command is to blame...
I will release a fix asap.
Thanks for your post.

I have reverted back to the old behavior. Double quotes ("") will only escape white spaces again (not matching the start and end). The best solution would be to include a backslash (\) at the start of your search. Maybe there needs to be the option to allow double quotes ("") to ...

What's different between "Date Modified" and "Recent Changes"? Date Recently changed is basically the same as Date Modified for recent files (up to one week ago). You can sort all your files and folders by Date recently changed instantly. Recent changes are a cache of the USN Ch...

"Everything" does not index size information, so, unfortunately, searching for a size range would not be efficient at this stage.

"Everything" version 1.2.1.445a

Fixed an issue with unsorted recent changes.

http://www.voidtools.com/Everything-1.2.1.445a.zip Please make sure you exit "Everything" completely before running the alpha version. To exit "Everything" completely: Right click the "Everything" icon in the system tray. Click Exit. Please note the alpha has known issu...

"Everything" 1.2.1.371 uses fixed network paths.
You will have to share the C: drive on the server as C, D: drive as D, etc..

Or, you might like to try the latest alpha "Everything" version 1.2.1.442a which uses the admin shares C$,D$,etc...

I have implemented the option to enable caching icons of all files and folders by file name (instead of by type) with support for icon overlays.

This option will be available in the next alpha release soon.

With regex enabled:

Code: Select all

[(][0-9]*[)].*mp3

To enable Regex:

In "Everything", from the Search menu, check Enable Regex.

Thanks for the debug output.

"Everything" is successfully executing Windows Explorer, however, there must be an issue with Windows Explorer, most likely limited privileges.

Please make sure "Everything" has administrative privileges and you have at least one NTFS volume.

Will the mentioned 'file lists' provide the capability to search for filenames and folders (of previous indexed volumes) even when the volume is not attached and possibly allow indexing (and offline-searching) on NAS-volumes? Yes, I have started work on the 'list' tab. You can see the blank list ta...

1. Detect volumes by volume-name, each drive can be identified by a unique name (maybe that's the way you do it already). Currently "Everything" identifies volumes by their path name, drive serial number and USN Journal Id. This information is stored in the database and it if differs to y...

Are there more-detail options than the simple "-debug" flag invokes by default? The latest alpha has extended debugging information. Please try the latest alpha available from: "Everything" version 1.2.1.442a What is the debug output when opening a file and exploring a file path?

This is a known issues (http://forum.voidtools.com/viewtopic.ph ... ange#p1434)

It has been fixed for the next release of "Everything".

Everything will write the Everything.db to the same location as your Everything.exe file. Try giving "Everything" unrestricted access to this folder. Try running "Everything" in debug mode. To run "Everything" in debug mode: Run Everything.exe with the -debug command li...

Maybe you accidentally hit one of the shortcut keys Ctrl + W or Alt S, W?

is it possible to read out the version of a file via the usn journal?

Unfortunately, no.
Version information would have to be gathered at run time.

Support for all the columns in Windows Explorer is on my "Things to do" list..

Match whole word is enabled. Any non-alpha-numeric letter (a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and _) will terminate a word. C:\ will match C:\$ because the $ terminates the whole word. C:\ will not match C:\WINDOWS because the W after C:\ does not terminate the whole word. This is the intended behavior. Double quoting a...

Ah, yes I see now.
Something odd going on here...
The debug output is missing a lot of execute info.
It looks like "Everything" does not reach the normal execution path.
Does Right click -> Open work? if it does what is the debug output?

Thanks for the info.
What is displayed in the debug console when you try to right click open path or explorer path?

What does not work any more (except windows search)

Only Windows search as far as I know..

Looks like you tried to run s...

if we don't use windows search, we can disable Content indexing Service isn't it?

Yes, the NTFS USN Change Journal and Windows Content Indexing are two completely different things.
You can disable the Windows Indexing Service and "Everytihng" will still function.

The only way I can think of is with the Windows shell.

Check your Errorlog.txt file in your "Everything" installation folder for any system errors that might have occurred. Look for something like: ShellExecuteExW(): GetLastError(): 5: failed to execute c:\somefile.txt The command for exploring the path of an item can be changed with the follo...
