Hey, If it works .. it works. A bit cleaner: @echo OFF for /f "useback delims=" %%x in (`wmic.exe os get OSArchitecture /value`) do @>nul set %%x if %OSARCHITECTURE%==64-bit start "" Everything64.exe %* if %OSARCHITECTURE%==32-bit start "" Everything.exe %*

mvdeckard wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2024 11:22 pm It's as simple as Options -> Indexes -> Exclude -> Add Filter -> $RECYCLE.BIN

As @mvdeckard said: Add it as a filter, not as a folder.
Tested: works.

Moved to the Everything 1.5 forum In older 1.5 versions the two were linked, but now they should operate independently.

The following command will get the bit-ness of the OS: for /f "useback delims=" %%x in (`wmic.exe os get OSArchitecture /value`) do @>nul set %%x sets environment vraiable %OSARCHITECTURE% to "64-bit" or "32-bit", which can be used in the script. So the following 2 com...

a general substring extractor What would be needed would be a substring extractor that looks for case sensitive markers, thus for example - SubstrByMark( string , 'GEO ', ',', ',' ) would find the marker GEO then move 4 characters (the len of 'GEO ') then find the marker ',' then move 1 character (...

Thanks for the screenshot @meteorquake!

I was trying to see how far I could get using the SDK in AutoHotKey . Further than I expected, but could not pass a Everything_GetResultSize hurdle: what type of struct is being used here? And how to translate that to AHK? Tried several syntaxes, but obviously all non working. Could not even get an ...

As this is static data, using an EFU file list seems the most logical solution to this: In Everything, search for the drive that is no longer online, in this example drive X: Export the results to an EFU File List: Menu => File => Export Save as type: EFU Everything File List (*.efu) Save somewhere ...

If you start Everything with start "" Everything64.exe %* instead of Everything64.exe %* , the CMD window will close right away after launching Everything. BTW: Not sure if reading the bit-ness of the processor gets the bit-ness of the operating system (32-bit Windows can be installed on a...

That is good to know; thanks for testing!

On further inspection: probably an issue on my side; couple of pinned taskbar applications are invisible too due to a missing icon.

First guess:

Everything draws its own menus without using the Windows menu API's (at least in dark mode; not sure about "light" mode).
WinMenuSelectItem will likely expect "normal" menus.

Maybe one of the Command IDs can help here ...

Code: Select all

Basically this will find all folders that do not have any punctuation character in their name.

For mode details, see Menu => Help => Regular Expression Syntax

EDIT: Missed the "folders" part in your question. Adapted the search query accordingly.

You need to be more specific than the example you provided.
To me european.railway is not NOT delimited by a punctuation symbol as it does not end with a punctuation character.
Furthermore: how should filenames like european.railway.txt be handled?

First guess is that you had Match Path enabled before.
(Menu => Search => Match Path )

Something similar is already possible in Everything 1.5 : From the menu, select View => Filters In the Filters sidebar (on the left), select the first filter by single-clicking it CTRL+click on any of the other filters you want to add Done. In the result list files and folders matching any of the se...

Good point. (Name column is always #1 here; never tested otherwise)

Go to Menu => Tools => Options => Advanced
In the Show settings containing: field, type margin
Select listview_margin_left
Set its value to 15
Press the OK button
Done (?)

All clear now. Didn't connect the dot to "." in dotall: ...

Does it show the foldername itself in the resultlist? Are none of the files in this folder shown or just some of them? First guess: these files are hardlinks. Everything 1.4 sometimes has a hard time keeping track of them. A Force Rebuild should fix that (temporarily). Everything 1.5 does a much bet...

Thank you! This is a nice overview of the options, including another new one (for me): Custom Verbs for Folders. Cascading menus look interesting. too. Yes, i've done this a couple of times. From what I remember, it was hard to get the syntax right at first. Again: Thanks for finding this! And now I...

No, only one.
(the underlying setting is called new_window_key (not _keys) and adding an extra hotkey manually in the ini file gets removed on restart)

I want to achieve this: with EVERY filter here I can switch between EVERY filter and Everything (filter) by pressing F9, back and forth.

Yes, I guessed that much. Just wanted to give some background information.

For each single filter, I assume. How could I assign / change a shortcut for ALL of the filters? I don't know what you mean. When in the Organize Filters window (Menu > Search > Organize Filters), select a filter and press the Edit button. Add a keyboard shortcut for this specific filter. When done...

Type

about:keys

in the search bar and press ENTER

Keyboard Shortcuts for a filter are part of the filter configuration.
Pressing the shortcut once will activate that filter; press it again and the default filter ("Everything") will be activated.

void wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2024 5:42 am The same keyboard shortcuts will work from the inline rename. (F2)

Wow! One of those features that you didn't know you need. Thanks!!

void wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2024 5:53 am check Export selection only when there is a selection.

That means that if one activated the resultlist (TAB or ENTER from the search bar), one item is selected, making Everything switch to Export selection only mode.

Don't know if that is the expected behaviour.

What are the differences between dotall:regex:content:... and multiline:regex:content:

Or formulated different : in what situation should I use the one or the other?

These are not in the Everything database; they are in external CSV files: "Search History.csv" and "Run History.csv"

Including Show Search Everything folder context menu item? ( Menu > tools > Options > General )

Will take a look, but not before friday. Probably the unique: function. Will try to figure out how that actually works. Luckily there's a workaround anyway.

If I do not reply this weekend, I forgot about this thread. Please bump it in that case, because this is interesting (and not only for myself)

NotNull wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 9:41 pm Back in the main window:
- Set the filter to Everything

(btw: If both folders are the same, no files will be shown)

This is a comparison of 2 folders that are in Everything's index.
So if you type "X:\first folder\" in Everything's search bar, a list of files/folders will be shown. Same for "Y:\second folder\"

If both show a list of files/folders, you can use diff: to compare them.

If you already see this metadata -- in this example Comment -- in Everything: Right-click the result-list header in the Comment column Select Search for Comment from the contextmenu. The search bar will show the search function to use. (something like comment:text) If you don't see this this metadat...

They are just placeholder foldernames; replace them with your actual folders, like c:\photos and d:\backup\photos.

Sounds like what I wanted. Why didn't you say so right away :D Create the following filter: Name = Difference between 2 folders (or whatever you like to name it) Search = #if:<#stricmp:<#element:<$param:,;,1>,#element:<$param:,;,2>>==0,"!"> file: regex:[regex-escape:[element:$param:,;,1]]...
