For me, the actual Everything version 1.5.0.1361a has no problems to preview *.txt files.

Thanks, did not know about NTFS Streams. Do they survive moving files/folders from one drive to another? How do you use them with Total Commander? Quick search showed me a NTFS Stream plugin for Total Commander but is very outdated (2009) and x32. What about network shares when NTFS is on the other...

Yes, I use WinRar with the -OS switch for this purpose.

I use NTFS Streams for Tags and Comments. This survives file operations from Explorer or 3rd party file managers as long as NTFS volumes are used. Everything indexes this streams and I can search for their content in Everything Total Commander and YXplorer. I can set the content in Total Commander a...

There is no free iFilter available for epub formats.
So a content search can only be a binary one as long as David has not created one for this format.
You can buy Adobe or Foxit to get an epub iFilter.

That's logical, the count is related to a specific file name in the index.

The actual Streams version is 1.6 from April 2020.
It deletes all streams.

You can use AlternateStreamView from Nirsoft.
It displays every stream of files and allows to just delete one named stream from them.

Instead of pinning "programs" to the Taskbar, how about pinning a program launcher to the Taskbar, & from that launcher you have your wanted programs, in sub-menus or whatnot? That's what I do with QAP (QuickAccessPopUp) This even allows hotkeys for any of the configured apps or files.

horst.epp

The first thing to try is not to play with the settings.
Just press the "Force Rebuild" under Indexes and see if it helps.

So, if I am not mistaken, what is "missing" in Everything is an ability to create a blacklist i.e. to plain exclude [temporarily] a particular drive / letter? I can imagine a scenario when a newcoming user of a given computer does not have high enough rights to change letters within syste...

Oops, well, yes, sometimes there is a lack of responsibility, indeed. No no, no problem with it, one of the backups sometime just overwrote the one with the old ini file.

There is only an Ini file and a few csv files to save.

I agree with Tuska. Never make this as a default. If someone needs to look continuously on his CPU and RAM usage, something is wrong with the system.

There is no such problem in my actual Windows 11, including Windows Security. My fully patched Windows 11 doesn't complain about the Everything-1.5.0.1358a.x64.zip.

horst.epp

And what do you mean by "Everything stores content in RAM."? I can see that the content is held in the Everything-1.5a.db file and read from it. Just like all the rest of the indexation data. So, it's ROM memory, not RAM. You are wrong. The whole content index is stored and used from RAM....

Set to include only certain folders.
Better set to exclude folders from your external drive x:\ for example.

By default, there is no content indexing at all !
So you must have defined it itself.

And of course only for as less as possible file types.
