To recap, I use the following command to find all instances of *only* selected file: Everything64.exe -s nopath:exact:#quote:#[basename:"%1"#]: This worked with Build 1300a , Build 1301a broke this, but Build 1302a works with only some files , and for the files that do work, Build 1302a is...

I use the following command to search for all copies of a specific file (the search is activated via a hotkey): Everything64.exe -s nopath:exact:#quote:#[basename:"%1"#]: Example : If I want to find all copies of just Bookmarks-1.5a.csv , I click on the file in Directory Opus, then activat...

SuperDude

Thank you!

SuperDude

I think it's my bookmarks. I will check them out. Thanks.

SuperDude

Every now and then, some of my column headers switch positions. I then have to use the Organize Columns dialog to reset them. When they move positions seems to be extremely random.

Also, what does the “No change” (Columns) mean in the Organize Filters dialog?

SuperDude

Thank you!

Feature request — Please make these dialogs resizable: Add Custom Path : I have a lot of folders on network shares whose path names are too long to fit into this this dialog. Making this dialog resizable would enable me to make this dialog the full width of my screen, and thus see the path names in ...

SuperDude

Thank you for the feedback. stem:, basename: and extension: will now also highlight the name column. pathpart:, parentpath: and parentname: will now highlight the path column. Technically not all columns support highlighting, it's only ' text ' columns. What does only text columns mean? Some of my ...

It has now

SuperDude

Thank you.

I have a lot of column headers (lots of properties). Is it possible to customize the color of a column header, to make it stand out from the others? Thanks!

SuperDude

No, thank you!

SuperDude

Is there a way to make the Edit Filter and Edit Bookmark dialogs resizable? The “Columns” dropdown combobox is too narrow (it can barely show 2 column names). I have a lot columns in my Filters and Bookmarks.

As always, thank you for creating this invaluable program!

SuperDude

TL;DR: Trying to add columns , or edit existing columns of any filter category ( Everything, Compressed, Audio , etc) results in a crash. An example of this is listed below: I'm having a problem with Everything v1.5.0 Build 1292a Alpha [64-bit]. If I perform the following steps to edit the “ Execut...

SuperDude

I'm very excited for this to happen! Having icons for bookmark entries would be so cool. Thank you!

SuperDude

Is it possible to enable certain bookmark entries to be highlighted with a color, to make them stand out amongst other bookmarks? If not, could it be enabled in a future build? Question: I have a couple of other requested features - can I list them in a single post, or do you prefer a separate post ...

SuperDude

I feel a little foolish for not having done this. Thanks

SuperDude

When Everything is indexing Properties, the current file being indexed shows just the file name (when viewing the Tools > Options > Properties page). Is it possible to make the full path names of a files be shown instead of just the name? I have many disk drives that have files with the same names o...

SuperDude

Thank you!

SuperDude

I was wondering if there is a command that searches for all files with a specific version number, and/or product version?

SuperDude

Thanks for the super reply! I did as you said.

SuperDude

I am using a 128 GB flash drive as a ReadyBoost cache drive. I don't want Everything to index it since it only has 1 file, called “ReadyBoost.sfcache”

When I try to remove it from the list, the Remove button is grayed out. What am I missing?

SuperDude

@horst.epp Correct. I have mine set to 20 items since I often need to check hashes (using HashMyFiles) of identically named files that are the same size but are possibly actually different. I once had it set to 100, but then accidentally launched 100 programs at once. My computer did not like that a...

SuperDude

Little side note to my previous post: Modifying the "MultipleInvokePromptMinimum"=dword value also affects Windows/File Explorer context menus. Setting the limit so it only applies within Everything will probably require @void's magic touch.

SuperDude

Disclaimer: The following is confirmed on my computer. Adjust this key is at your own peril. There is a registry key that controls this setting. The registry key is: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer and the sub-key you want to set is: "MultipleInvokePromptMin...

Ah, gotcha. thanks!

I think having the ability to set custom icons for entries in the bookmark context menu would make choosing the right bookmark easier and faster.

SuperDude

Thank you to everyone who tried to help me! There was no way the solution could have been found without @void's help. The solution was this astounding piece of code:

@void: I'm not going to bother you anymore, but I wanted to tell you my mistakes I've made: 1) I unknowingly had Match Path enabled when I first tried your new command.

Thank you for replying. I did as you instructed, and now it seems to be working as desired. Yeah!
