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".

I am considering the option to show a folder tree panel view similar to Windows Explorer.

Deleted files are stored in the mft, until re-allocated.

I will consider the option to show deleted files and locked files.

Please try the following: Disable Start on system startup in "Everything" from the option window. Restart your computer. Run "Everything" in debug mode. To run "Everything" in debug mode: Run Everything.exe with the -debug command line option Everything.exe -debug What ...

"Everything" is re-indexing every time you restart it. "Everything" will re-index when one of the follow happens: Too many file system changes occurred. Please increase your USN Journal maximum size to at least 32768 KB. To change the USN Change Journal maximum size: In "Eve...

How do I bypass the UAC to run "Everything" with administrative privileges when I start it from a shortcut ?

I have implemented the option to include any folder (network share) for the next release of "Everything".

Some menu items do not work, and the list tab does nothing.

You would be better off sticking with the alpha.

The latest alpha version should fix these issues.

I love the program and am happy to try the beta - but will I just be getting new problems?

The alpha version is stable, however, there are some incomplete features.

Unfortunately, No.

It is not possible to include another computer's Everything.db yet.

You will be able to include another computer's Everything.db in your local index for the next release of "Everything".

Fixed for the next release of "Everything".

-filename, -path and -parentpath will move the cursor to the end of the search string and no longer highlight the text.
-search will highlight the text.

Please see Option to freeze database for viewing an old database.

You can set a keyboard shortcut to a custom filter with the latest alpha release of "Everything" . To set a keyboard shortcut to a custom filter: In " Everything ", from the Tools menu, click Options . Click the Keyboard tab. Type in filter for Show commands containing . Locate t...

I will improve the option to create the DB and exit for the next release of "Everything".

Are there any errors reported in the Errorlog.txt file in your "Everything" installation folder?

You will need to do two separate searches.

Code: Select all

"C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Verwaltung\Startmenü\" Word

and

Code: Select all

"C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Startmenü\"  Word

The Everything.ComputerName.UserName.db file is created in the same location as your Everything.exe. You can change the location of the db with the -db command line option or the db_location settting in the Everything.ini. It is currently not possible to change the database file name. Is it possible...

Mounting the split files as a virtual file/drive is possible.

AFAIK, merging the two mft entries would only be possible if the first file is aligned to the NTFS allocation unit size (4096 bytes by default).

You might like the prototype multiple file renamer now. It is available from: http://www.voidtools.com/rename.zip You will need to drag drop the files you wish to rename onto the app. Adjust the new format to your needs and click Rename. The pattern matching needs to be improved before I add this to...

I plan to make the FTP/ETP and HTTP servers open source plugins in the future.
I will consider adding SSH when this occurs..

Absolute paths for the -config command line option has been fixed for the next release of "Everything".

Right click the "Everything" shortcut.

Make sure that Run is set to Normal Window.

Make sure there is no -startup parameter specified in the target.

I have added implement optimized regex cases to my "Things to do" list.

You will need the latest alpha release of "Everything".

Create a batch file newdb.bat in your Everything installation folder:

Code: Select all

del Everything*.db
Everything.exe -startup -quit

I do have plans to add the option to ignore accents.

However, with this option enabled, your searches will take nearly twice as long (but should still be faster than you can type).

Normally "Everything" includes all NTFS volumes by default. "Everything" 1.2.1.371 will exclude a volume if it encounters an error (this includes access denied errors due to limited privileges). If you run "Everything" with out admin privileges you will need to manually...

This is a known issue, please see Can not open any drive from Search Everything...context menu for a solution.

This has been fixed for the next release of "Everything".
You might like to try this now with the latest alpha release.

I use Drive Snapshot http://www.drivesnapshot.de/en/ and mount NTFS disk images created by it. Everything version 1.2.1.371 will let me search these mounted volumes/images (which are assigned a drive letter), but this new version won't. (I'm don't know what version this would have appeared initiall...

I have implemented custom search filters and the search command file: for the next release of "Everything".

You might like to try this now with the latest alpha release of "Everything".

Does "Everything" have admin privileges?
Is there at least one NTFS volume?
Are there any errors reported in your Errorlog.txt file in your "Everything" installation folder?

The command line interface supports stdout.

Please try the Everything Command-line Interface from:
http://www.voidtools.com/download.php

I will consider supporting the following additional variables:

Code: Select all

%ADMINTOOLS%
%COMMON_ADMINTOOLS%
%APPDATA%
%COMMON_APPDATA%
%COMMON_DOCUMENTS%
%COOKIES%
%HISTORY%
%INTERNET_CACHE%
%LOCAL_APPDATA%
%MYPICTURES%
%PERSONAL%
%PROGRAM_FILES%
%PROGRAM_FILES_COMMON%
%SYSTEM%
%WINDOWS%

Only with sorting by run history, and increasing the run frequency for .lnk extensions.

Please make sure your F: drive is formated with NTFS.

To convert to NTFS, please see:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307881

You will need to have your F: drive connected for "Everything" to search it.

Support for offline files is on my "Things to do" list.

Code: Select all

*\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\*
*\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*
*\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\*

Should work for the next release of "Everything".

I have added support for %% variables to my "Things to do" list...

Files and folders must be sorted at all time for "Everything" to work.

It would be possible to keep a couple renamed files at the same position, but it would require a lot of work.

I will consider implementing this feature.

I also have plans to add support for renaming multiple files.

Curious...what exactly does the debug mode do? Debug mode provides a debug console that shows all sorts of useful information about what "Everything" is doing and it's internal state. It doesn't take away some of Everything's abilities like 'keeping the db up-to-date", does it? No, i...

I have not tried exFAT.
I am guessing exFat would not be compatible with the NTFS USN Change Journal API.

I have plans to add support for column plugins in a future release of "Everything".

But since it's a task i cannot pass arguments each time, only when creating the task

Once "Everything" is running, try using this non-admin app to pass arguments to "Everything":
