Thank you for the bug report nikov, Everything doesn't eat the | with columna:= Everything is currently treating this as: columna:=0 | | 1 addcolumn:columna (columna:=0 OR everything OR 1) addcolumn:columna I will trial eating | with columna:= in the next alpha update. For now, please try: columna:=...

Everything probably wont help here.. If you're only after duplicates of one video, you could search for the length + 3 seconds. For example: If the original length is: 5:50 Search for: length:5:53 To find media files that are within 3 seconds: video: addcol:a a:=$length:/30000000 dupe:a-descending T...

There is spaces in your regex pattern.

Please escape spaces with double quotes.

It might be easier to wrap your entire regex pattern with double quotes:

regex:" - (Time|Sweet)( - |\().*\bDjB\b"

That is an expected match. You will need to improve your regex pattern. For example: regex:" - "(Time|Sweet)(" - "|\().*\bDjB\b regex: = enable regular expressions " - " = match space dash space (use double quotes to escape spaces) (Time|Sweet) = match Time or Sweet (&q...

Regular expressions is already enabled under the Search menu.

regex: will not work with Regular expressions enabled under the Search menu.

Please disable Regular expressions from the Search menu and search for:

regex:.*(?:Time|Sweet).*DjB.*

Thank you for the filenames. The search: regex:.*(?:Time|Sweet).*DjB.* finds the following for me: C:\TEST\REGEX\【D独家】Millenium - Time ( DjB Electro Rmx 2023).mp3 The following filename: 谢锋 - 前前左右(DjB Electro Rmx 2024 粤语).mp3 does not contain Time or Sweet, it should not be matched. -Are you expecti...

But my regex doesn't even work in Everything. What do you mean by doesn't work? What is the filename that you expect this to match? I only tested in the text editor What text did this match? What is shown in the status bar on the right? (eg: are you matching case, do you have a filter enabled, is r...

I will have a setting to do this in the next alpha update.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Recently you have received from me my whole settings.

voidtools does not keep any user data.
Could you please resend.

I see the expected colors.
Selection and inactive selection override the mouseover state.

@void is your GUI available as a library?

No.

Please try a Virtual Listview if you are working with a lot of values.

Using .foo as an example: From the Start menu, search for: regedit Right click Registry Editor and click Run as administrator In the Registry Editor, navigate to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.foo (please make this key if it does not exist -Right click -> New -> Key) Create a new String Value (right click on t...

Could you please provide the filenames that mismatch and the exact regex search.

Is anything shown at the bottom right of the status bar? Please try the following search to bypass any macros: "i:\" Does this find any results? Debug logs will show the search op codes: Clear your search. In Everything , from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, check Start Debug Logg...

Uncheck Regular Expressions from the Search menu.
Search for:
regex:"(?<= - )[^]+(?=\()" addcol:regmatch0
Select all your files.
From the File menu, under the Copy Properties submenu, click Copy Regular Expression Match 0

Please make sure no search options are checked under the Search menu (eg: uncheck match case, uncheck match whole words, uncheck regex)

Please make sure the Everything filter is active under the Search menu.

Is it safe to make an efu file without the CRLF at the end? Yes. I will also add the CRLF at the end in the next alpha update. This will be consistent with copying as TSV in Excel. (I tried something similar to "/copy $name:&crlf:" but "/copy" command doesn't support that.) ...

Create a bookmark and set the search to: /copy $name:&tab:$size: Select your results and run this bookmark. Please consider the following bookmark search if you want to copy all results: /select-all /copy $name:&tab:$size: /copy /copy-header /select-all /copy and /copy-header example To copy...

There's no option in Everything to toggle the selection on middle mouse click.

I will consider an option to do this.

Thank you for the suggestion.

The middle mouse button in Everything scrolls the view.

I am seeing the expected colors for selection and inactive selection.

Please send screenshots to help clarify the issue.

What are you settings under Tools -> Options -> Fonts and colors -> Item = Bookmarks Sidebar?

Thank you for the log. The basic log shows Everything has started scanning your folder. No errors are reported. Unfortunately, Everything is not in verbose debug mode. Rescan activity is only reported in verbose debug mode. Could you please resend the verbose debug log: Please wait for any existing ...

If it is not the selection color, it might be the offline color. Everything will render offline files with 50% transparency.

The total limit is 65536. Per process is 10000. When you exceed these limits you will see graphic artifacts as no more GDI objects can be created.

You are limited to about 10000 GDI objects.

Try sorting by GDI objects to see if a program is using a lot.. (1000+)

Use the Task Manager to check if any programs are leaking GDI Objects.

Ctrl + Shift + ESC -> Task Manager -> Details -> View -> Select Columns -> GDI Objects

I like the idea of $param1: and $param2*:
I will consider these in a future release.

The next alpha update will add support for #param:

#param: will be replaced with the parameter text as is.

For example:

startwith:#param:

=>

startwith:n otepad

What is your recommendation for the scan time. Daily at 3am. If your PC is not on at 3am, Everything will perform the missed scan as soon as you start Everything or when your PC wakes from sleep. If I click Never scan, I am guessing that anything new won't show up. Everything will detect all change...

Windows creates a WIN+SPACE hotkey on startup to change the keyboard layout. You will need a third party program to override this behavior.

What is your exact bookmark search?

Please try the following bookmark search:

< csf | cerebrospinal >

Please make sure regular expressions is unchecked under the Search menu.

When you stop the process (File -> Exit)

My screen shot is pretty old.

This is what it looks like now:

I have updated the Properties page.

Please use the following to ignore case and diacritics:

Search = content:search:   addcol:A   A-label:="Content Count"   A:=STRINGCOUNT(REMOVEDIACRITICS(LOWER($content:)),REMOVEDIACRITICS(LOWER(search:)))

Ideally, you will be able to recover a previous search where the Everything process ended unexpectedly. (eg: power loss) If the session was created on close, these searches would be lost. Everything schedules the session to be saved after each change to your search. This can only occur once every 15...

monitor_thread_mode_background comes with a warning. Enabling can severely reduce the update performance of Everything. I will likely remove monitor_thread_mode_background as it causes more issues than it helps. There's only one monitoring thread. I will consider a system and non-system thread. The...

Your Session.json is renamed to Session.backup.json when you start Everything.

The Session.json is only created when your current session is dirty (when you manually change the search)

To create a session.json:
Launch Everything.
Change the search.
Exit Everything.

Ah, I am 99% sure it's from enabling Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> monitor_thread_mode_background

Please set this option to false.

When this option is enabled, Everything will only monitor your drives when they are idle.

Your C: will likely never be idle.

Thank you for the logs.

I see Everything is regathering the free disk size for your root folders every second.

This might prevent Everything from updating.

Could you please try removing Free Disk Size from Tools -> Options -> Properties and see if the issue persists.

The above should work.

Please make sure Regular expressions is unchecked under the Search menu.
