Nobody is stopping you

regex:^(.+?)#   add-column:A;B   A-label:=Category   A:=regmatch1:   B-label:=Length   B:=len($regmatch1:)

If you want the Category to include the #:

Code: Select all

regex:^(.+?#)   add-column:A   A-label:=Category   A:=regmatch1:

Without the #:

Code: Select all

regex:^(.+?)#   add-column:A   A-label:=Category   A:=regmatch1:

1.5 is faster than 1.4.
1.5 is stable, but 1.4 is even more stable.

If you ever happen to run into an issue, it gets fixed in no time.

My advice: Go for 1.5. There are so many new features to discover that will make your life easier.

Very well feasible. Make use of the named instance feature of Everything. Installing the service is not needed for FAT32 drives. Assuming Everything 1.4: - Run the following command everything.exe -instance "L-Drive" -choose volumes - Run the following command everything.exe -instance &quo...

The following works here. Make sure there are no extra characters after   (like a <space>) as regex*: treats all text after that as literal. regex*:content:<p dir="RTL" align="justify" dir="rtl"><span lang="en-us"><font size="5">  I...

What happens if you try these context menu entries from within Everything?

\s(?=[^.]*\.[^.]*$) Loose the first [^.] as that will search for any file/foldername that contaains a space anywhere in the stem: regex:"\s(?=\.[^.]*$)" Somewhat simpler: Everything 1.4: file: regex:" \.[^.]+$" Everything 1.5: endwith:stem:" " (If you are running versi...

Crystal clear. Thanks!

And that is exactly what it should do.
Will require an Everything update though. When that comes out, I will post a solution here.

Just found a new (undocumented?) feature: the use of \\ in searches to activate wildcard-matching. For example searching for win\\ot will get expanded to **win**\**ot** . It will find C:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe (among others). And it is intentional too. This is what the debug log has to say abo...

Thanks for restoring my sanity :) Some related questions: Does distinct: parse all properties at once or does it try to match properties in order of appearance and stops at the first "mismatch"? I realize that is a bit vague, so formulated differently: What is faster: distinct:name;md5 or ...

The related filename.lnk file in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\ also temporary disappears.

(probably for the same reason, but mention it anyway)

Did you know that after pressing OK in the Rename dialog, pressing <F2> when back in the result list will open your renamed files in the dialog again, ready for a second pass.

I don't have an answer (can't find a way to make this work), but do have questions:

What makes it called "File 0"? the first file in the result list with that specific size?
Can there also be a "File 2" (/3/4/...) in this list?

Code: Select all

[if:#version:, Version #version:,]  [if:#productversion:, ProductVersion #productversion:,]

statusbar format syntax

I think I still don't understand distinct: Why is 1stdout.txt not shown in the third Everything window? Its regmatch1+md5 combination is even unique. 2024-03-30 20_59_13-file_ regex_(_T___hash__folder1__)(._$)_ _ regex_(_T___hash__folder2___)(._$) .png 2024-03-30 21_00_14-file_ regex_(_T___hash__fol...

I think there is a solution using just Everything. When tested, it is largely working but there is an issue with the current iomplementation of the distinct: function. Or much more likely: my understanding of it. When that is sorted out, will reply here (might take a couple of days). The (planned) m...

Everything Sessions are on the to-do list of Everything 1.5.
Once implemented, re-opening tabs/windows should be possible.

If you answer the questions I asked, I will likely have a solution for you: a script that will extract the zipfile(s) to the right folder without further interaction.
If the information is personal or otherwise not meant for the public, you can send me a PM too.

The one thing I don't love though, the one thing that isn't great... is its name. "Everything". It leaves something to be desired. It causes confusion in conversations. Not half as bad as calling a word processor ... Word ;) Although I had the same thoughts as you the first days of using ...

IIRC, this setting was left out as its use was ambiguous and could give incorrect results: round brackets can be part of filenames too. <> on the other hand can not be part of a filename. The setting is still available. Not in the Options GUI (including the Advanced settings), but by directly editin...

So .. what aret hese zip-files called? (what pattern describes their names?) Are they all in the same folder? Are the "00 Excel*"foldernames in the zipfiles or based on the names of the zipfiles? Please be as specific as possible as a wrong description leads to a wrong answer and all work ...

Clever!

Added to that:

Everything 1.5 also has a menu option to rescan non-NTFS volumes on demand:
Menu => Index => Rescan => <select your drive>

That will be much easier to do in Everything 1.5 (compared to version 1.4) :

Code: Select all

folder: !descendant:*.mp3

That list can be found in Menu => Tools => Options => Indexes => NTFS

In other words, this location:

- Select your D-drive in the Local NTFS volumes: list

- Done.

What about content indexing? (Tools => Options => Indexes => Content) That information will be loaded in RAM too. Please post some debug information: - Go to Menu => Tools => Debug => Statistics . - Post the first section -- " Database " -- here (the text can be selected and copied)

I left "Open Path" as it was, so that it can be used to open the folder in Explorer if ever needed. Whatever suits you best. Explorer can still be opened through the context menu btw: - Open files/folders in Explorer through the context menu (Explore / Explore Path) From what I looked at ...

Everything sees all files and folders thanks to the low-level that it sees the filesystem. Some of these folders are not accessible as a regular user, for example the C:\users\<username> folders of other users or some Windows folders like C:\Windows\System32\config\ , C:\Windows\SystemTemp\ and hund...

Maybe

(sounds like I am overlooking some complication?)

Its major disadvantage is that it's overpriced, and they want money for each major upgrade. Also irrelevant for this topic: Directory Opus has changed it's licensing model as there were 7+ years between major versions. You now buy a version and get updates for a year. After that, you pay per year f...

How could I forget to add this one

(I even use it myself ... )

Very well done integration of Everything.

Did you test with the files provided by @kazzybash in testtree.zip?

EDIT: made a typo: a "z" fell off. ( [a-] instead of [a-z] ) Please try again.
(thanks for testing, btw!)

Some applications dont update the current file -- testtesttest1.ove in your case -- but instead delete the original old one first and then save the new text. In that case, Everything will see this as a new file (which it in fact is) and can no longer focus the old one. Instead the focus in the resul...

Try it with omit-results: instaed of ommit-results: (1 M vs, 2)

This might work:

Code: Select all

If not, take take a second (or 100!) to formulate way more precise what pattern describes your files/folders as this turns out to be completely different from what you initially asked for.

P.S. You didn't answer my questions ..
