What is the problem with the default to show results on opening a window.
It takes a few seconds to fill the display, and you even can set what sort is used by default.

Just select the files in Total Commander and it generates a temp file with the paths I'm not familiar with that, but from the sound of it, sounds similar to how the T.I. DX10 OS's Show File (SF) command worked. (But it's been so long now, that I don't really remember just how SF worked. That said, ...

Seems like a misunderstanding. I don't mean to have a list already, when refining the results by clicking the item type filters, like "Audio". I mean a filter like ext:jpg;tiff;bmp; dm:4weeks , that i would like to show all results by just clicking on the filter field, so no search argume...

Here, with version 1.5, it already works like this.
Use the filter bar drop-down list.

To note: fullfilename Does contain the expected results. The filelist has no such limits. But your file editor (used to create the filelist) might, heh ;-). No editor needed. Just select the files in Total Commander and it generates a temp file with the paths. This temp file is given as parameter t...

It doesn't make sense to feed any program with a large list of files with such path lengths. Why? (In any case...) IrfanView has a command line parameter /filelist=filenames.txt True. Likewise if you use the irfanview_shell_extension, that too will work The Shell extension is limited by the number ...

horst.epp

I'm going to assume that "full command", or at least "fullfilename" ($*), has a size limit of 4096 characters (including parenthesis & spaces). What is the debug output when you open a single filename? Is the parameter generated by Everything expected? https://www.voidtools....

horst.epp

No such problem here.
I always can move the splitter between the results list and the preview to any place.

It looks like you don't run the x64 version of Everything.
This is a complete other world if your PC has a suggested amount of RAM

Your screenshot .. that program feels familiar, but can't put my finger on it. What is it?

It's the Properties for an entry in the Nirsoft SearchFlterView

I will trial using the shortname in the next alpha update when the full path exceeds 259 characters. There are many users which have completely disabled short names. Everything should not try to overcome problems of tools which are not long name aware. That's the problem of these tools, and they wi...

horst.epp

MPC-HC has no problems using long paths for any media file.
There is no need at all here to provide a short file name.
Starting with Windows 10, all the user needs is enabling Long path support.

Found it using KI

Regex is

Usage is to use playlists as base for manipulating dirs in Total Commander.
Not my job, but some user asked for help.

I will remember path-part

horst.epp

How can I remove the file name from a complete file path.
The result should be the folder name.

Example:
A:\music\1966\The Who Sings My Generation\1. Out In The Street.mp3
to
A:\music\1966\The Who Sings My Generation\

Does enabling that have any drawbacks?

No.
But as I said, it doesn't help you if the applications you are using can't handle long paths.

horst.epp

You have to enable Long Path Support in Windows. This works of course only if your applications can handle it. Open Run command by pressing Windows + R and type Regedit and hit enter. This command will open the Registry editor console. Now navigate to the following path. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Cu...

To make backups which allow fast rollback to any previous version I make ZPAQ backups of my portable Everything installation, except the database. The result is one archive from which I can retrieve versions or single files. ZPAQ is a deduplicating archiver, so the archive consumes no space for unch...

horst.epp

In the actual version, you can now use the Open_File_commands
which makes this a lot easier.

Look for /define in the help for version 1.5.
Also, in Bookmarks or filter definitions, you can define macro names.

As in the LISTARY application?

(I mean for Everything 1.5)

There are macros which exactly does this.
I for example simply type text:text_to_be_searched
for making a content: search.

horst.epp

es.exe is the Everything command line tool.
Download it from https://www.voidtools.com/ES-1.1.0.26.zip
and store es.exe in the same dir as Everything.
Use the full path in your scripts.

If you make use of Everything's content indexing, you will see a big difference between the versions.
For a useful amount of data, you definitely need the x64 version.

horst.epp

Just to support users which such special needs there is no need for an additional launcher module.
The start-up options on different PCs can be different
and they also can use a simple batch or login script to start the correct Everything version.

horst.epp

I guess the suggested installation of Everything will solve hat.
There is always Everything in the background.

Thanks a lot for the open_file_commands enhancement

Even including my Toolbar rules as example

Btw. open_folder_commands is not important for me
but will be fine for others.

You should set the "Cascaded context menu" option.

Whatever David adds in Everything, it will not beat any of the better 2 pane file managers.
The integration of Everything with a real file manager is much easier to operate

That may only work if the preview is provided by Everything itself.
Most of the preview modules are 3rd party software which doesn't have an API to make this.
