Probably this is easy, but whatever I try, I do not get the desired results. So, finally, I have no alternative but to ask this most probably dumb question here... In the search box it reads: N:\ img-08082016 121701 This displays the file '08082016 121701.jpg' located in various folders on N-drive (...

I would like to search and have following displayed search within folders on multiple drives (D:\Folder1, E:\Folder2, F:\Folder3, etc.) then display the sub folders within abovementioned folders only but exclude sub folders named like SWE, DAN, NED, CAS, BACKUP (etc.) also exclude files like png,txt...

Super!

As always, thank you very much indeed.

I have quite a few files that are named as follows: DSC0001 .arw.jpg and DSC0001 .jpg the first one is a processed arw file (often 17-22MB), the 2nd one is the actual jpg that I want to keep, often still 5-6MB. shooting time/date time taken are the same, file name is also the same how to search for ...

@void - thank you very much! This may work for the installed version, I am also running a portable version, side by side. So I am trying to find an alternative way, that I may use in future cases. Whereas I initially thought it was limited to 1 folder, I just now noticed it involves more folders. Fe...

Everything 1.5 Alpha introduces a new method of duplicate finding. Column-data duplicates. This effectively replaces the dupe:, dmdupe:, sizedupe: commands because those only work against the entire filesystem Index and cannot be refined to a specific drive or folder or search results. For example:...

eswul62

Using Windows Explorer or Directory Opus I would like to :

r-click a folder (in the folder tree)

and have Everything searched that folder for duplicates with parameters dupe: dmdupe: sizedupe:

How to do that?

Thanks.

eswul62

Super!

Thank you very much indeed.
It works fine.

It helps me a lot whilst reorganizing pictures and folders with pictures.
A powerful new feature in 1.5 is to select a folder and r-click drag it to another folder in the PATH.

Thanks again.

eswul62

I can either
-filter on pictures (get files only), or
-filter on folders containing pictures (get folders only)

But .. what to use to have both folders and files displayed based on extension images?

Maybe it isn't possible though.

Thanks!

eswul62

Many thanks!!

Super...

Really appreciate the quick answer.

Matter solved.
Again, many thanks!

Please allow me to use this old thread for the below question. I'd like to use nosubfolders: on two drives with two parent folders. nosubfolders:D:\Folder1 works fine nosubfolders:E:\Folder2 works fine But how to combine this> nosubfolders:D:\Folder1|E:\Folder2 (or: (D:\Folder1|E:\Folder2), or D:\Fo...

Is everything currently capable of such functionality? No such current functionality, you could try searching for: dupe: dupe: will find files with the same name. You've given me some ideas for a regex search over all the filenames, not just each single filename, making something like this possible...

eswul62

Right!
Under Exclude I added a filter named $Recycle.bin

Now the results are the same.

Not sure if this is the right way, or whether I should add this per drive, so:
C:\$Recycle.bin
D:\$RECYCLE.BIN
E:\$RECYCLE.BIN
etc.

eswul62

AH! Right. Many thanks indeed.

Many thanks for the below. Tried that and it worked. Although ... when comparing to '1st instance' there was a difference in number of objects and folders etc. Also after force rebuild. I have compared all settings and can't find a difference, probably there is, but I can't find it. I tried followin...

eswul62

Partly.. it doesn't show date-time stamp: if you have a lot of files that are reading roughly the same, then you may not always be sure which one to use.
Then only way is then to check date-time stamp.

eswul62

Yes ! +1
Let's say 1st sort is name, then ctrl-click 'Date Modified" header for example.

As from Office 2016 Microsoft dropped the option to 'pin' folders as 'favorites' in the File Open/Save dialogbox. There is a lot of commotion about that on Internet. Users fail to understand why Microsoft dropped it: it was a handy way to jump to specific folders and or files. As always Microsoft ha...

The other day I Everything showed files and folders that actually weren't there anymore. I didn't know that for sure though. They should have been deleted, but Everything still showed them. When checking Explorer I could not find them. Were they hidden, protected, or what..? My repeated attempts rem...

This is just to say 'Me too!'

Thanks for the below. Currently I indeed use a 3rd party renamer. However, if I (or any user) would like to change part of the names of -say- a dozen files located in various folders, that requires quite some 'handling'. Whereas in fact the filenames are listed in the GUI. Changing one by one there ...

eswul62

Up front: IF at all possible... It would be nice to have an option, say under 'Tools', that allows me to batch replace a PART (!) of names of files and folders. So, for example, I search for ABC Everything finds ABC-1-2-3-this and that.jpg ABC 123-so and so.png ABC-123-bla bla bla.tif I'd like to se...

Thanks a lot! I am having Flash Renamer in my SendTo context menu. Flash Renamer in my opinion is the best renamer there is. Regretfully it is not being developed any further, i.e. there will not be any new versions. Only minor patches will be released. I have looked at and tried out -many- renamers...

I like Everything to -instantly- find what I am looking for, i.e. the incremental search. Sometimes it may happen that I wish to use the 'DC' (date change) parameter. Everything starts search instantly and it ends up in an endless search -before- I finished entering the parameters. Example: I have m...

It would be nice if Everything had an option to Copy to... and/or Move to ... specific (often used) folders. Folders to be specified in the settings. For instance: Everything shows files and folders I select some of them, then use Copy To .. from the context menu and from a submenu I can select one ...

It would be nice if a list of selected files could be 'send to' a file renamer using context menu. In my Explorer I have a context menu item Send To with a subitem the filerenamer that I use. Use this option regularly from within Explorer/Opus. Right now renaming from within Everything is supported ...

I would like to exclude specific folders from the search results.

e.g.

Any suggestions?

Vainly tried to find an answer on the following, but then again, maybe I am overlooking it: is there way to have the foldersizes displayed? With me, foldersizes are not displayed. Likely calculating foldersizes will heave a major impact on the speed of Everything, so, it is okay not to display the f...

The reason for us (at least most of us) to be here on the forum is that we like this tool. Although it is freeware some (or many?) were prepared to pay a donation. As enthousiasts, the only thing we are hoping for is that developer is around, even if it's only once in a very while, and this project ...

eswul62

I donated money and sent him an email way back in june 2013. No response at all. It is remarkable the forum is still relatively very active even though there is neither any development on this tool nor any comments from the developer. Personally, I think Everything is still the best. Another tool is...

eswul62

Well, I guess, after half a year of no developments or feedback... David stopped with it, regretfully so.
hv looked at master-seeker but it connects to Internet and I am not sure I like that.

eswul62

Yes...
I do hope David will continue with this: I meanwhile checked out UltraSearch, but it seems to me that UltraSearch is (much) slower as it does not create a database.

Sorry, I accidentally overlooked this one when creating my post titled "Is Everything Search still under development?"
It's about the same I guess.

Me too, sent him an email on november 15th, together with a donation. No reply, nothing. Considering the 24th of june release still being beta and no newer beta's, although before that date the updates were fairly frequent and no reply on mail or donation, all this brought me to question about the d...

eswul62

Just curious to know: is it still being supported/under development?
Considering the latest version is 'Beta'.
Since last update on 26 June 2013 it became quiet, whereas there were more frequent releases in the past.
