Ok, thanks for clarification! Either answer would be OK, but being on different wavelengths makes communicating on a forum even harder than it already is. Obviously I can't tell you the right number of files or a definitive method to get this count (and it's a little too much to count them manually ...

It seems that all the filters are exported. As the export file is a CSV file (plain text), you can open it in (for example) Notepad and delete all the lines you don't want to import later on. "Plan B": This CMD command creates per filter a .csv file, using the "all-in-one" export...

Do you mean this in a cynical way? (can't tell ...)

* Some programs search through zip files, others don´t * depends on the useraccount the search program runs under. A restricted account can't see all the files on your system It's hard to even define how many (.wav) files are on your system. A file that exists 1 time on disk, can have several names ...

In the meantime ...

you could disable the "Search as you type" option. In that case you have to add an <Enter> after you completed your query.
This option can be found here: Menu:Tools > Options > General > UI

I *think* you put Everything.exe two times on the command line. It should read something like: "c:\path\to\everything.exe" -instance "Mein erster Versuch" (oder -instance "ETP Server"; der Name is egal .. ) EDIT: Upon re-reading this: Sorry for the language mix up; I sa...

Confirmed, it works, you did it again... I also added db_location=nul, used the -nodb command line parameter, and set the ini to read only. Now that's portable! :) Nice! :-) If you want to be sure that your prortable Everything doesn't interfere with a running "regular" Everything, use in...

Great, many thanks. Enabled. Single instance is actually a Q-Dir setting. It's in the Q-Dir menu: Extras > Q-Dir as default browser > Open in new Tab, in the running instance. I have been there before but I haven't noticed that option for this purpose. No available command-line options to influence...

Yes, use instances: (http://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/multiple_instances/) Instances c:\folder1\everything.exe -instance "Instance 1" d:\folder1\everything.exe -instance "My USB disk" "Regular" c:\program files\everything\everything.exe Those three can run si...

How about: (assuming Everything.exe is somewhere on your USB disk) start /wait "" Everything.exe -create-file-list SpecsLibrary.efu \ Everything.exe -instance "TechSpecs" SpecsLibrary.efu This will create a fresh FileList of the USB disk (*) (the "\" is the root of the ...

Many thanks. Concatenate all your file lists into one list and open this file list in Everything. Is there a special way to do it or just open the lists in the file list editor? Many thanks again Here's one: * In the Everything searchbar, type "filelistfilename:*.efu" (without the quotes)...

Hi, long time first time... Would it be possible, or make sense, to have Everything optionally cache the index data in RAM? Making it truly portable with such option enabled, as in, no "Everything.db" file would be created! Thanks! Everything already loads the database in RAM: When starti...

* A replacement for Explorer's Alt-Enter to calculate the folder size This adds an Explorer context-menu entry for folders and drives. It reports the size of the selected drive/folder and all direct files/folderrs in that folder (1 level deep) that have a size >10MB That size can be configured, of ...

For example, I want to create a list, or lists, of all the audio files with MP3/4, WAV, etc. that exist on my system. For a first impression you could type "audio:" (without the quotes) in the Everything search bar. That will give you all the mp3's, flac's, wav's etcetera that Everything ...

I think it would be better to edit and fix your code in its place above. (I guess this someone also won't read the whole messages. )
Thank you for posting.

Good thinking! Changed the code ..

This topic is already solved a while ago, as mentioned. Now I just wanted to suggest a new option and bring it into a consideration. Ah, OK, didn't pick up on that one (didn't read all of the massages, just a (very) quick scan). Then you can happily ignore my message :-) Not that it matters anymore...

You're welcome! Glad to be of help. And thank you for your feedback!

@wmpwi: you didn't mention your version of Everything... On my system Everything version 1.4.1.873b (x64) is installed. It has a "New Window Hotkey" entry (see image). That should be the entry where you can set this, instead of "File| New Search Window" 2017-06-03 09_49_18-Everyt...

BTW: here's the QCD.CMD script to CD to a folder by giving a partial foledrname. It was original a oneliner for TCC (jpsoft's "CMD on steroids"), but I converted it to CMD for .. well, for fun actually (and maybe someone else has some use for it). I intended to add incrementing the run-cou...

@therube: Very nice! Thanks!!

As I'm fairly new to Everything, I'm just starting to discover the power and possibilities of it. Beside the (obvious) searching for files, it can do so much more. I'm looking for inspiration to extend my current usage of Everything. At this moment that consists of: * A replacement for Explorer's Al...

I saw Q-Dir in your list of filemanagers. Q-Dir also has this possibility:
(Open this Run-menu with mouse or Ctrl-S )

I use this: Where %V = the foldername of the file (%1), also: if %1 = c:\temp\file.txt then %V = c:\temp


Notice there is an extra space after %V\ ..

Very fragmented, wrong file size? Sounds like a SPARSE file .. Sparse files are files where the reported file size differs from the size on disk. This mechanism is often used for files that get filled "in a stream" where the total size is allocated by writing it with 0's. These 0's are not...

What is this? Everything on a USB stick (or similar) to index any system. Per system it will create a unique database and INI file on the USB stick, so you can browse the files later. 2 scripts - STARTEVERYTHING.CMD and STOPEVERYTHING.CMD - take care of "everything" How to Use? [0] "...

You can move the .lnk from your personal startmenu to the common startmenu for all users.

Your personal startmenu is located here :%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

Thanks for the (quick) reply! After posting, I thought about it and came to the same conclusion: in a "normal" case you do want the -quit option to write the database to disk. Everything can't magically assume what I want this time ... And thanks for pointing out the "-no-first-instan...

I am working on a script to run Everything from a USB-stick (*) ,so you can create a database per machine on that USB stick. (Very useful for servicing multiple systems and having the indexes available at all times) But ... I got "stuck" on the way to stop an Everything instance. The scrip...
