Thanks for your reply.

I created the shortcut Everything.exe -connect username:password@host:port and it works as expected.
It will solve my problem next time people are present.

Thanks also for the other suggestions, bur I'll wait until 1.5 is out of alpha before installing on those 2 machines.

My first question is about security for the ETP client. In my home network I have a desktop, and a laptop that I often use from the terrace, or from bed. I use Everything to access and sync files on the other computer. Both machines have the ETP server activated, with a username and password. So whe...

Both work perfect. Thank you much!

I have been using 1.2.371 happily for a long time, and am now trying 1.4.1.809b (on Win7 Pro SP1). The sorting is much faster, thanks. With the old version, if I have a search window with a search string set (for example E:\images\Ships\), when I start a new search window (^N or File/New search wind...

Hi David, Thanks for this. In fact version 1.2.1.452a doesn't work on my PC. When try to connect as ETP client with version 1.2.1.452a, it crashes right away: Error signature AppName: everything.exe AppVer: 1.2.1.452 ModName: everything.exe ModVer: 1.2.1.452 Offset: 000155a5 I've emailed you the dum...

Is there a version other than 1.2.1.451a which can handle more than one screenful of data when connected to ETP server?

tools / options / exclude
check if windows folder listed or "exclude system" ticked.

try !\#

it will exclude everything starting with a #. (ie, also folders)

exclude
filter .*
folders only

on my machine, this seems to do the job:
folder: \.

When a search via the HTTP server finds more than one screenful of data, it is possible to switch to other pages at the bottom of the screen only. It would be more practical if the the page selection was available also at the top of the page. For example on the same line as "results 1-32 of xxx...

I have a problem too with searching another computer via ETP. If my search finds more than one screenfull of data, then the 1st screen displays all right, but if I try to scroll down the display becomes garbled. The problem does not occur with HTTP between the same machines. But of course on http th...

OK then. Thanks for clarifying.

David,
Maybe I'm dense today, but I can't find any link to a newer alpha than 451 on this thread. Do you have a direct link, please?

I emailed you 2 screen captures

With Version 1.2.1.451a, if I find excel files in the main window and double-click on one of them: - if excel was not open, then it loads and opens the file as expected. - if excel was open with already some file open, then the focus switches to excel, but the double-clicked file does not open. This...

Yes, version 1.2.1.451a fixes it.
Thank you daspud!

An oddity in the search interface: if you enter a search which produces more than one window of results, and scroll down the list, then if you enter a new search which also produces more than one window of results then Everything 1.2.1.371 starts the display of the new results "pre-scrolled&quo...

For the original question:
the simplest entry to ensure that only files with short name will be found
is to enter \a.bcd

works for me.
