You can also create drives like

+:\

or

(btw: not tested in Everything, but generally works).

Don't know is this is easier than X:\, etc though ...

Note that I put "32:\" (Volume number) replacing "C:\". But Everything insert current file folder before this ("32:\"), in that case, "C:\temp\". And I got: "C:\temp\32:\Windows\assembly\NativeImages_v4.0.30..." How to get rid of this "C:\temp\...

Does this work for you with the following command-line options?

Everything uses the system (=Windows) to show the previews. There might be an existing preview handler that shows the content of folders out there already. If you can find it, install it and Everything will show the content of folders in the preview pane. (I did a superficial search for such a previ...

Please try the following:

- set the current filter to Everything
- Put the following search in the search bar

Don't think there is. In case you need to do something further down the line with these numbers, this should work too: regex:"name:_(\d\d\d\d)" addcolumn:regmatch1 sort:regmatch1 This way the () capture group is the only thing shown in the regmatch1 column, consisting of just the four numb...

Thanks!

That clarified the issue right away (I cannot type

)

While editing I deleted a dot ("."), which has a large effect in regular expressions.
With this change your different files are reported as expected here.

Edited the original answer (still manually, fingers crossed ..)

Thanks!

Which one of these EFU files or zip files do I need for testing?

(I have a script that converts the content of an EFU file to actual files, including dates so that will work too)

Official release date unknow, but 1.5 is stable enough for daily use (that is what most forum regulars do).

This is possible in Everything 1.5.

The feature you're looking for is called Temporary Omit /Temporary Omission

Unfortunately, this overrides all other preview handlers. I don't know of a way to set a fallback. If you find one, please let us know. There might be a way .. For experimenting only at this moment as this was only *very* briefly tested (but seems to work in my simple environment) Run the following...

I'm a bit confused ..

Is it working now?

looking much better now

Something changed between 1367a and 1368a?

1368a does indeed return zero results, whereas 1367a does give the same results as the regex one.

$name:==$parentname:

Be aware that is does a case sensitive comparison ("Test\test" will not be reported) and will report files too.

You're welcome! Was in a hurry so no time for further explanation at that time. Or to test it... folder:regex:\\([^\\]*)\\\1$ ([^\\]*) = Put parent foldername in capture group 1 \1 = Use the result of capturegroup 1 (=parent foldername) So this expands to pattern \parentfoldername\parentfoldername. ...

Parts of Everything are written in assembler.

Or removing some of them. When the amount of reported issues in the beta phase is below a certain lev...

Everything has a feature where it lets you define your own preview handler for some extensions. This will overrule the Windows setting. So Window (Explorer) uses handler A and Everything then can use handler B. The Everything preview definitions not only allow extensions, but also (regular expressio...

This is much easier using Everything 1.5 . With that version you can also search for Title tags. And as you tagged all music files (using MusicBbrainz Picard), your duplicates will have the same Title (tag). You can use the following search: "X:\your music\folder\" ext:flac;m4a;mp3;wac;wma...

Had to read it twice, but I think this is about Menu => Edit => Find (CTRL+F) and ... => Find Next (F3), NOT the search in the search bar ?

First of all: Welcome back! :D Your reasoning is largely correct. One minor detail: Everything will search for matches in the filename (without path), unless it is told to look in the path too. There are a couple of ways to make Everything search the path (too): Enable Match Path (Menu => Serach => ...

Donations are the main source of income for @void, so if you like Everything and want to ensure it will be maintained and developed further, consider donating.

FWIW:

True. For me: If it doesn't look like a folderpath, it's a Filter.
(workaround: Press the Edit button; either a Select Folder dialog appears or a Filter Edit dialog)

It looks like there's a <space> before $RECYCLE.BIN ?
