Two quick thoughts...

Use a separate -instance for your omit_results work, maybe call it, -instance OMIT.

Maybe ? a setting in Tools | Options | Home -> Search can be set to un-omit -omit_results ?

Is D: a removable device?

If so, do you have multiple removable devices that end up being D: when they are plugged in, & have you been switching between them?

If so, wonder if that has a bearing on what you are seeing?

i'm Pasting into a directory (path) i'm Pasting into a Results List window containing /files/ (not directories) of the Path i'm wanting to paste to (happens to be all the files in the Results List are of the same [exact, & only 1 at that] directory - T:/new/ parents:2 & T/NEW/delme (which ha...

Maybe you're running in a loop (because of the VM)?

Are you running a non-VM Everything from within the VM?
(As opposed to running a "VM" instance of Everything from within the VM.)

You can Paste into searchbar. You can Paste into results list. So long as the correct area had been set, at some point, an attempted Paste should still work, even if a Cut action "unset" focus. The area, be it searchbar or results list, should still be known, even if focus itself isn't (an...

Issue can be exacerbated simply by doing a CUT.
Cause once a file is CUT (& pasted elsewhere, focus at that point (in the source of the CUT window) is not.
So when you go back to that window (or Tab), & without specifically setting focus (into the Results list), an attempt to Paste, will fail.

Shouldn't.

Explain "lock-up"?

I wonder... I wonder if it is not in fact a focus issue? You CUT from 1 tab, Ctrl+TAB to the next, and... and at that point focus is - in lala land - sometimes. And at those times, when you attempt to Paste, because you're not where you think you are, the Paste fails? focus is not in the searchbar n...

You can add a 'Type' column (at least in 1.5a, not sure about 1.4), & then do what you want with that (like sort).

it looks like pasting to more than 1 location is causing the issue Just 1. Select, cut (Ctrl+X) a file in 1 tab, Ctrl+TAB to the next tab, Shift+INS. check if the cut item or paste location has a very long filename Nope. SFN in both cases. As far as the distinct: part is concerned (which appears to...

Here is CUT/PASTE, similar situation - that worked as expected, in 1367: disconnected from service Everything: 1.5.0.1367a (x86) OS: Windows NT 6.1 7601 (x64) Admin: 0 Service: 1 (connected / installed and running) Command line: -instance 15 Binary: C:\DEV\Locate\15.1367\Everything.exe Profile: C:\D...

I'll note that Everything 1.5 Alpha handles hardlinks differently. (Specifics I don't recall, though they are noted in these pages. And if they handle what you've mentioned, also not sure? Also, if you're indexing Properties [does 1.4 do that?], with 1.5, your index would need a rebuild regardless.)

so... (& you thought we were done ;-)) in 1367, 2 DISTINCT: tabs, a cut from 1 & paste into 2, correctly shows the newly pasted location - in 1, but 2 does not update - until refreshed i hadn't realized that before, because never had the need to access anything from 2, & 1 did correctly ...

1370 on a DISTINCT: or maybe it might be between multiple DISTINCT: windows/tabs, a CUT/PASTE may not appear to CUT/PASTE, may still show as CUT - even after having "PASTED" it elsewhere - which may not show as up, because the DISTINCT: in that other window/tab does not allow it to show - ...

so, let me tell you a story... i woke up at 4:AM, dripping with sweat & the world said, inclusive, INCLUSIVE & i shouted No! i am me, & no one else is me! distinct: DISTINCT:! so, let me tell you a story... the other day my cat got bit (by something) & he was OK, just bleeding a bit ...

CLCL is clipboard caching utility.

Though I've used that used for years (& the program is unchanged since, 2022/12/1).

And that said...

(just noting...) i am really not liking where Everything has become more "accurate" because as i'm apt to use DISTINCT: (or similar) regularly, & might or might not have it enabled in particular windows/tabs, so when i make a change & jump to a different window/tab & don't see ...

A quirky way to update just one folder is to apply and remove the read-only attribute.

the Attribute change hack on a NO-size NO-date file
did work to restore its' size & date (in Everything)
(& without necessitating a Reindex)

I'm curious, how do you open/view this db?

Simply set up an -instance for it.
(I was only interested in seeing "historical" data, what is or is not there, & not to make any changes.)

(There is also the [Everything.exe] -save-db switch which will cause the .db to be saved to disk should you not want to actually exit Everything at a particular time [& during which time the disk .db may then not otherwise be [as] current as that stored in RAM].

(I'll just note that as I also have a T: drive, I'll wait on this.)

It's always good (IMO) to have dated backups of your .db.

There are various Export options, though what might or might not be included, unsure without testing.

Note that during development, there is a chance that the .db format changes, necessitating a re-index if that were to occur.

Batch files, grrrr ;-). And if not "quotes", it is (parens). One, or the other, or both, doesn't matter. Don't think it is about the quotes this time. It's always about the quotes (& batch files) ;-). So you wrote: for %%x in (%*) do (echo "%%~fx" & echo ffmpeg.exe parms...

Version?

I'd think, most likely a shell extension or something to do with thumbnails.

There are options to disable, but specifics elude me at the moment.
Search for 'disable shell extension' & see if something comes up.

it's still visible in everything

That's abnormal, unless you've specifically made (non-default) changes to

Tools | Options | Indexes -> NTFS

.
(And assuming we're talking about an NTFS drive).

ES.exe, -no-result-error Wanting a batch file that searches the current directory tree, with Everything (hopefully), & if Everything is not available, falls back to a DIR search.

the current sort

Just to note, that also includes Advanced Sort (but the 2 [or 3] sorts selections are AND'ed to determine the sort dupe_lines).
(So if you Advanced Sort; Size & Path, that would find duplicated size files, dupe_lines'd - within the same directory.)

At this point, is focus not in the new format edit box? 3. selecting uppercase 4. again new format appears to show that focus is still in the new format edit box (t...

also had to refresh the database as always

"As always", is not expected.

(Now it could be that the particular areas are "protected" ?, so by default Everything might not have sufficient permissions [to delete], but one would expect changes to be seen.)

A quirky way to update just one folder is to apply and remove the read-only attribute.

Is that to the folder itself, or to a file within the folder?
Is it the R/O specifically that is needed, or might some other action (like a file rename) trigger the quirk?

Everything will show empty size and dates if the volume goes offline unexpectedly. To clarify (if it needs it) the, "go offline unexpectedly". The drive goes "offline" only upon wakening from sleep. It is either seen, or not. (I'm guessing that it is too slow to spin up, sometim...

I take it that nothing on F: is found at all?

Depending on how F: is formatted, & how it is recognized (fixed or removable), you may need to manually add the F: drive to your index.

Tools | Options | Indexes, then FAT / NTFS ... as appropriate.

Correct, any of the Ctrl+F-like searches.
Not the searchbar.

Should a search <string> in 1 tab apply to all tabs? (Now thinking, probably not.)
