That fixes it.
Thank you, once again.

froggie

Thank you, void.

1246a fixes the duplicated text.

the other issue,

if the name in a result line is edited (F2), CNTL-C will copy the name without the prefix, as expected. Using the copy key on the keyboard, the full path is copied.

persists.

froggie

Thanks. I missed that.

froggie

Why does

testtest !e:\*.lnk

show

testtest.txt.lnk

in results with 1.5 but suppresses them in 1.4?

Am I using "*" wrong? Has it changed in 1.5?

froggie

Another keyboard issue (Version 1.5.0.1245a (x64)) I have a keyboard with a Paste button (and a cut button and a copy button). When pasting to the search line, the test is duplicated - e.g. "test" becomes "testtest". The results shown are for testtest. CNTL-V works correctly. Deb...

froggie

That did it.
Thank you.

froggie

Thank you for sortmix:

However, if I use sortmix: (either in the search bar or in a filter) it works initially, but if I click any column header to change the sort it no longer works. That does not happen when the option is checked.

froggie

Is there a way to turn "Mix Files & Folders" on or off other than the menu or a hot key?
The purpose is to have it available in a filter.
I did not see an option in the filters to do this or a modifier (but there is so,so much in this release to learn and use)

froggie

Works well.

Thanks for the speedy fix.

froggie

Repeated attempts, in case you still need it:

froggie

No, no difference. It shows as Ctrl+C, which was already there.
I deleted it and re-added it, still does not work

froggie

I have a keyboard with a Copy button (and a cut button and a paste button). Using this, I can not copy from the search pane, not even from the search entry line. CNTL-C works, Everything 1.4 works. If it helps, CNTL-C will send the scan code sequence 162-17-67 (CNTL Key followed by C), The keyboard ...

Found it! Another layer of windows.

Everything was marked

Disabled

in the startup tab of the task manager. Which is kept in yet another registry key.

Not something I would ever do to Everything, so no idea how that happened.

Thanks @Void, @ NotNull.

froggie

This is strange. In Windows 10 Everything does not start on system startup, even though the box is checked. The identical setup in Windows 7 works as it should (dual boot system, running from the same libraries). Everything is version 1.4.1.1005 - not admin - 64 bit In the registry there is a correc...

What happens with the following search? Code: Select all filelist:"C:\Windows\explorer.exe|C:\Windows\notepad.exe|C:\Windows\regedit.exe" If I type it in, it works fine. (No Highlights) If I cut and paste from your post, it fails Cut and paste from your post to a text editor and I get: f...

It didn't work, it didn't work, and then it did.

Why is the first file not boldface?

froggie

Full Row selection highlight.

Frequently, I'm looking at the list for something other than name, and it's "hard" to not have he hilight bar go all the way across.

Does Options=>General=>UI=>Full Row Select help or do you mean something else?

You are starting Everything from the right-click menu. When you do this, Everything puts the folder you click on in the search box and proceeds to display all of the files in that folder As you add additional terms in the search box Everything will AND those terms with the initial folder and display...

froggie

Are you just trying to have a blank result screen when you start Everything until you start typing

or are you trying to have Everything not build its internal list of files?

froggie

Tough for me to see, but it looks like your example is in Dropbox. Could this be an artifact of the Dropbox syncing process?

Does it show in Windows Explorer?

Does it show in non-dropbox files?

froggie

Does

tools==>options==>general==>results==>Hide results when the search is empty

do what you want?

froggie

Thank you. There are times when this will come in very handy.

Actually Windows 10 is SSD aware and I believe the power off setting should not effect it. We are a bit off topic for Everthing support, but I wonder if there is something about the way the additional SDD was installed that is causing your problems. Since this is a Laptop, is the disk external - USB...

froggie

@raccoon has it right, you should set power off to Never. SSDs use times of low activity to reorganize the data internally. Cutting off power that often may possibly be causing an issue. Also, never defrag a SSD - it just causes extra wear and shortens its life. What version of Windows are you runni...

Not necessary. The database is only read at startup (and only written at shutdown) - otherwise it is all in memory.

froggie

Just out of curiosity, why is Run as Administrator the default when using the installer? From all I read here, it seems clear that using the Service works best in almost all cases. For that matter, when would run as Administrator be needed?

froggie

You could just copy it, replacing "apple" with whatever the name of the folder you are interested in

Or

infolder:C:\users\bigdan\documents\desktop\career\apple\

Or

C: \apple\ depth:7

See Everything Help for a description of infolder: and depth:

BigDan wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 5:35 pm is there also a way to see all the contents of apple, not just the resumes? again, not as imp.

Staying with the regex theme:

regex:C:.*\\apple\\[^\\]*$

froggie

Try

c: \apple resume

With the spaces.

The jpg is easy, just add .*\.(jpg|jpeg) after the last [0-9]. When you add the D:\ to the regex, you have to match the entire path up to the CIMG, so you end up with P:\\.*CIMG[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9].*\.(jpg|jpeg) , which is fine as long as there is no folder with a CIMGnnnn name. I generally find tha...

froggie

Without "enable regex" selected in search try

d:\ ext:jpg;jpeg regex:^CIMG[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]

Everything ANDs the terms together. It is not necessary to have them all within the regx. The "^" says match at beginning of filename.

froggie

Try checking

Tools==>Options==>General==>UI==> Full Row Select

Also

Tools==>Options==>General==>View==> Alternate Row Color

may be helpful

Is TB using (text based) Mbox? If so then wouldn't a content: search find (text strings) in the particular Mbox file? TB is text based and content: will find the Mbox files that contain the search string. In the case of many Mbox files with few messages in each, this would be workable, but I suspec...

@void -

According to this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... s-root-key Microsoft document, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is a merged view that shows keys from HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

froggie

(deleted as erroneous, too hot for brain to work)

thanks, therube

froggie

you have to use quotes for the target:

"c:\program files\everything\everything.exe -instance pictures"

Code: Select all

 everything.exe

is the program name

Code: Select all

 -instance pictures

is a parameter that is passed to the program

froggie

No, I do not believe so.

Short answer - not possible. Long answer - The next lines in that article are Thunderbird defaults to using the mbox format to store messages. That is widely supported.

To get MB type the following in the search box and press enter

Code: Select all

You can put it back to KB with

or from the options panel

Another way: Right click on any .log file. Click on properties. On the line "Open With" in the General tab, click the "Change" button. If you are then given a choice of recommended programs, select "Notepad" OR Click "browse" and go to "C:\Windows" t...

The names in the file system (NTFS) are 'favorites' and 'desktop' - both Everything and the dir command will show you that. There is a hidden system file called "desktop.ini" in 'desktop" (and many other places) that contains information that Windows will use to display the file. Desk...

You have 8GB of REAL storage (RAM in the display). Your are using about 1GB of VIRTUAL storage (a tiny fraction of the available VIRTUAL storage with 64 bit Everything). Pieces of VIRTUAL storage are loaded into REAL storage as needed. You do not have a storage problem from Everything - in fact if y...

The x86 version of Everything will use half the memory of the 64 bit version.Which are you using? For the number of files you have the memory usage seems consistent with what I have observed.
