Known issue, 1.2.1.371 sending wrong filenames to context menu extensions & Error Creating Zip When Folder Has Spaces In Name . I am aware of "Everything" opening some context menu items with the path of the focused item only, instead of the correct path for each file and folder. I hav...

The other day I created a TrueCrypt volume on my brothers laptop HDD. Creation was dog slow. Today I was coping files to the laptop, dog slow. Now the laptop is older & the HDD is only 4200 RPM. Wasn't sure offhand if the NIC was 10 or 100. So I attributed the slowness to those factors. A short ...

Is View active topics not working?

Req: Browser "Plugin" (Actually I do not want a Plugin, but more to get an Everything "protocol" set up, correctly. From there you should be able to use a bookmarklet <a bit of JavaScript> to pass the wanted string to Everything.) OK, the idea is to highlight a word(s) on a web p...

Check your Search options.
You likely have Match Whole Word (Ctrl+W) selected.

Re: Option to freeze database

Once logged in, try User Control Panel, Profile tab, Edit account settings.

I'll often use Everything as a starting point for my duplicate file finds. Passing files or directories to other utilities depending on circumstances. Like I search for 'xp .iso' & I come across two differently named, but same sized files. I don't know if they are physically the same, until I ge...

On W7, are you running using as Admin or some type of Limited account?

In Everything (of course) do a search for "everything .db". And you will find (which I hadn't expected) not necessarily "everything.db", but "Everything.RUBENXP43.RUBEN.db". So looks to now default to Everything+Computer name+User name.db. (I must have known that, but h...

Is your HDD NTFS formatted? It will not work with FAT32 formatted drives.

1.8 What are the system requirements for "Everything"?

I always use Everything as a program launcher. I just type the name (or part of) followed by .exe (or .xpi, or .whatever). That has worked out fine for me. firefox.exe, brings up all the (5) seperate versions of FF that I have installed seamonkey.exe, brings up 24 versions reg scan .exe, brings up R...

Just came across this (from WinSCP ), & maybe something similar would be appropriate for Everything? - Environment variable WINSCP_PATH pointing to path, where WinSCP executable file is located, is set on startup, so it can be used to configure portable paths relative to the WinSCP executable fi...

Big 'ol box at the top of the page, that says "Search..." within, & a button right next to it that says Search

.
(And you don't even have to be logged in. <It is not always like that on other boards.>)

Not to worry, from your question I learned too.

Are you sure that D: is an NTFS formatted drive?
In my case, "C:\" works as expected, though D: is a FAT32 restore partition, so not seen by Everything.

That wouldn't explain why your "D:\subfoldername" works though

, so that would not be it.

So perhaps a locale issue?

Another MFT based searcher: UltraSearch V1.2 Beta UltraSearch searches files on local NTFS drives and provides the results within just a few seconds. UltraSearch does not use a previously built index or background process, it achieves its speed by working directly on the Master File Table (MFT) of t...

I've seen that before too. Was it here (if so, my searches are not finding it)? Or was I thinking I had thought it was a bug on Nirsoft's end (& likely reported it to him) with his HashMyFiles utility. Between Everything & Hash My Files, I can duplicate this. HMF can bet set up as a Context ...

2. add a inputbox on taskbar, like Microsoft Windows Search

See here, Option to freeze database.

I would backup the existing database first.
(Or even put 389b & a copy of the database into its' own directory.)

And wait on void to confirm what I've said.

Oddity (bug?) in Search History Matches As you type a search, & as the history matches display, if you were to use the mouse to position the "cursor" in the search bar, at the end of typed text, then a search is not effected. Hitting "return" at that point also does not perfo...

Confirmed.
Nothing shows up in Errorlog.txt.

whenever I start Everything I get prompted to supply an Admin password That is normal. Everything needs Admin privileges. If you were to try the latest alpha, does the problem persist? When I try to explore the folder of a file Does this happen for all folders or only certain ones? Are you able to ...

The version on cnet is the latest released version, Everything 1.2.1.371.

There have been many later alphas - for the adventurous.

Context menu shouldn't be slow. Is it slow in other applications too? You might have another shell extension interfering. ShellExView might be able to help in finding it? At least it makes it easy to point out what you do have. (And I at least would be apt to pay more attention to 3rd party extensio...

Does the installer actually provide any function over the ZIP version?

(You can also manually extract many installers using UniExtract <Universal Extractor>.)

("void" == "David"?)

No.
If I want to search the web, I open my browser.

If I do not want to search my HDD, I open Windows Search

.

What OS are you running?
Are you running as an Administrative User?

Yes, Everything will still work.

This http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic50268.html points to Charter Cable & Puresight content filtering software. Any of that apply to you.

PS: No "winsflt.dll" on my computer. I know that for sure, as I used Everything to search for it

.

What version of Everything?

Does Errorlog.txt (in the Everything install directory) show anything?

Run Everything in -debug mode & paste the results here.

I asked a similar question here, Is it OK to have Multiple Instances of Everything Running.

Suggestion to "blur" cut items.

Right now, if you cut an item, there is no visual reference of that.

Mouseover Tooltips

Option for mouseover tooltips when the textual data is greater then the displayed field width, and/or option to display same in the Status Bar. (Might want to contemplate the latter part a bit.)

Looking quite convoluted to me ;-). I'll just post some info on the OLD (DOS, command line) locate.com utility for comparison/reference: C:\TMP> locate /? LOCATE.COM v1.31 2003-12-09 C.

For whatever reason, the first command line will need a trailing \ character in order to work.

So:

Code: Select all

fsutil fsinfo volumeinfo d:\

The second command line gets away without it. (And actually fails if the \ is appended.)

Corrected (revised/new?) URL: http://portableapps.com/node/21230 Not familiar with a "paf", so don't know what that does. Is Everything portable in & of itself, already? Not sure, but possibly. ZIP version is available. Only thing I'm seeing in the Windows Registry deals with Open With...

There was a time a while back, I was jumping between versions. Perhaps it was between .371 release & some of the later alphas? Switching back & forth, I noticed what looked like the .db being recreated. I just attributed that to a structure change in the .db itself. --- More recently, with t...

Because of this, Flash-memory cells have limited lifetimes and will often wear out after ... , I would say you're better off not indexing. But as Everything works differently the most other search/index utilities (dealing with the MFT), perhaps there is less impact? David would have to say for certa...

(It looks like a Filter drop down selection takes precedence over a filter keyword: on the search line <such as folder:>.)

You can.

Everything Options | Filters -> New.
And once a filter is highlighted, you can modify its' search items.

There was a known issue with .432 & CPU usage.

Give .436a a try, http://forum.voidtools.com/viewtopic.php?p=1355#p1355.

Ah, so that is what is happening.
Neat.
(And at some point, I was even going to ask if the columns couldn't resize themselves automatically.)

Something funky is going on with Zoom. The shortcut keys, Ctrl++ or Ctrl+- work ... weird, partially, quirky - when focus is on the Result List . Place focus on Result List. Ctrl++ will increase once (or so). Ctrl+- will decrease many times, but weirdly at that. And then notice what Ctrl++ then does...

If I may quote as I copy, "lookin good"

Is it OK to have Multiple Instances of Everything Running - Simultaneously? Does it put undo hardship on a system? Assume they will update the same (the one) Everything.db file & that they are able to do that concurrently. Or does -instance have an affect on that? Mainly thinking about having Ev...

(Heh. I'm glad! ... that I'm not imagining things

.)

I just realized why it is working. I turned off the "double quote copy" option - duh!
Yes, it is still broken as of .432.

Now I "know" I saw this issue earlier.
Yet now, on a different computer, I don't?

That should be fixed, Everything Keeps Handle Open to Drive - Safely Remove.

Though other issues look to have cropped up, High CPU usage on newest version.

Though give it a try letting us know your results with both issues.
