The option to customize the context menus is on my "Things to do" list.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Please try the following: To launch "Everything" in debug mode: Exit "Everything". From the Start menu, Click Run . Enter: cmd Enter: cd "C:\program files\Everything" Enter: everything.exe -debug To copy the text in the debug console: Right click the console title bar ....

Keep in mind the ext: command does not support wildcards. Use < and > to group boolean operations. Please try the following: \Windows\Temp\ | <<ext:---;###;$$$;$db;$sa;@@@;___;_dd;_detmp;_dump;_mp;aps;bac;bak;bk;chk;cpy;dao;db$;diz;dmp;err;errorlog;fic;fnd;ftg;fts;gid;ilk;lo_;log;mch;MS;nav;ncb;nch;...

Add Filter : Set Type to Exclude . Set the Filter to *\_vti*\* Set Apply To to Files and folders . Click OK . With the lates...

You can use an exclamation mark (!) prefix to exclude a search term.

For example, to exclude C:\windows

Code: Select all

!C:\windows\

Please see the "Everything" Search Syntax for more information.

Needed to re-enable active topics with the phpbb 3.0.6 upgrade.

Please try:

Code: Select all

*.*~|*.?$?|*.??$|*.?~?|*.^*|*.bak|*.err|*.log|*.old|*.temp|*.tmp|*~tmp.*

Unfortunately, wildcards do not work with the ext: command.

It appears "Everything" is indexing this volume. However, there maybe some orphaned files and folders due to a damaged file system. You can confirm this by building a fresh database in debug mode. To rebuild the database in debug mode: Exit "Everything" completely. Delete your Ev...

Sorry the bug is still present in 451a.

The current alpha release is still 451a.

Fixed for the next release of "Everything".

This is a limitation with the Windows HotKey API.

Alt Gr maps to Ctrl + Alt (with no distinguation between left and right Alt/Ctrl).

I am considering the option to ignore the hotkey press if the Right Alt (Alt Gr) key was used.
However, this is not 100% accurate.

I have been unable to reproduce the problem here (Win XP SP2 + Office 2003).

What is displayed in the debug console when opening an Excel file where Excel is already open?

This will be possible with the upcoming custom file list support.
However, indexing will be slow and you will need to manually update the indexes.

I will consider implementing native Linux/ext3 support.

I am currently still improving custom file lists, rewriting search history and improving the toolbars.

Will have an another alpha once that is done.

I would still like to add color/font customization before a beta / official release.

I have plans to convert the ETP/FTP/HTTP servers to optional plugins in a future release of "Everything".

Fixed for the next release of "Everything".

You can test this now with the latest alpha release.

"Everything" requires administrative privileges for low level access to volumes.

The problem is caused by "Everything" having administrative privileges and your mouse/keyboard software having limited privileges.

Applications run from "Everything" will also have administrative privileges.

Please make sure all your volumes are currently in DMA transfer mode. To check if your volumes are currently in DMA transfer mode: Right click My Computer. Click Properties. Click the Hardware tab. Click Device Manager. Open IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers. Right click Primary IDE Channel. Click Propertie...

I have added the state of Match Case, Whole Word, Path, Regex, ETP, HTTP, filters and recent changes to the status bar.

You can test this now with the latest alpha release.

I have added URL Protocol support to "Everything" for the next release. The following will be supported: ES: URL Protocol (ES is short for Everything Search). Install URL Protocol from installer (disabled by default). Install/Uninstall URL Protocol from within "Everything". -inst...

is it possible that everything supports "environment variables" like %temp%, %userprofile%, %APPDATA%

Yes, added to my "Things to do" list.

I have made a note of this for the translators for the next release of "Everything".

The "Everything" SDK requires "Everything" is running in the background. This is done for up-to-date results and efficiency. If you do not need up-to-date results you could go directly to the Everything.db. There is some information on the db here . However, I would recommend wai...

Please try using named instances.

You will need to disable allow multiple instances.

For more information please see:
http://support.voidtools.com/everything ... _instances

If you run a HTTP server you will be able to download these files from your own computer. To run a HTTP server: In " Everything ", from the Tools menu, click Start HTTP Server . Once you have started a HTTP server, click on the following links to download these files from your own computer...

Disable Allow multiple instances.

To disable allow multiple instances:

In "Everything", from the Tools menu, click Options.
Uncheck Allow multiple instances.
Click OK.

I am working on custom file lists for the next release of "Everything".

Custom file lists will allow you to index and search single folders at a time.

This will be possible with the next release of "Everything" by running Everything.exe with the -loaddb and -quit command line options.

You could schedule this with task scheduler or place a shortcut in your start-up folder.

"Everything" only keeps file IDs or File Reference Numbers (FRNS) in memory for folders.

You can use the latest alpha release to view folder FRNs.

Although possible, "Everything" does not keep a record of FRNs for files due to large memory requirements.

Fixed for the next release. I think there is a second problem: some of my harddisks are "mounted" as subdirectory on drive D:, e.g. d:\_HDEXT\graphics I've tried to exclude the directory d:\_HDEXT but it seems, that Everything ignore this. You will need to use the latest alpha release to i...

What version of Windows are you running?

Try running your mouse software with administrative privileges.

It will still work.

However, you can expect the memory usage to climb over 100mb with over 2 million files.

For a rough guide you can expect roughly 50mb ram usage per 1 million files.

CPU usage should always be minimal, no matter the number of files you have.

Depends how many files you have.

Less than 2 million you should be fine.

Write some further explanation concerning the options on the "Volumes" tab in the options window. I have updated http://support.voidtools.com/everything/Indexing to include a little more information about each option. Should it not work without the USN Logging Journal and just reading the...

To index only folders: In "Everything", from the Tools menu, click Options . Click the Exclude tab. Make sure Enable exclude list is checked. Click Add Filter . Make sure Exclude is checked. Type in * for the filter . Make sure Apply to Files only is checked. Click OK. Click OK.

Maybe you accidentally pressed the match case keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Q.

Does searching for Big Sky find any results?

Do you have match case enabled from the search menu?

Using regex: * Matches the preceding element zero or more times. For example, ab*c matches "ac", "abc", "abbbc", etc. [xyz]* matches "", "x", "y", "z", "zx", "zyx", "xyzzy", and so on. $ab$* matches...

only 32bit libraries are supported.

I have added supported 64bit libraries to my "Things to do" list.

Code: Select all

*.

is a special search that will only match files with no extension.

What results were you expecting?

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

I also have plans to add support for Windows 95/98/98SE for the next release.
You will need to use the custom file lists to index volumes in 95/98/98se.

Added to my "Things to do" list.

"Everything" saves changes to the Everything.db file after WM_QUIT has been received.

Please note that "Everything" does not save changes to the database if you run it in debug mode.

Ctrl + Numpad + in the result list auto sizes the columns.
Ctrl + Numpad + in the search edit increases the text size.

This will be customizable in the next release of "Everything".

I would recommend running multiple instances of "Everything". Create another instance of "Everything", for example: Everything.exe -instance HTTP Setup which files and folders you wish to include or exclude from the exclude options for the HTTP instance. See -instance and Indexin...

You will be able to index files for offline use in the next release of "Everything".

Only ASCII characters are supported when regex is enabled.

Unicode regex support is on my "Things to do" list.

Windows NT4 and Windows 2000/XP: The F12 key is reserved for use by the debugger at all times, so it should not be registered as a hot key. Even when you are not debugging an application, F12 is reserved in case a kernel-mode debugger or a just-in-time debugger is resident.

Well, mounting as a virtual file is the simplest option I guess

I think so too.

This would be easier to accomplish on linux, right?

Yes.

I have plans to add optional file content indexing in a future release of "Everything".
