Okay, this may take me a while to catch up with trying this script. First time I've used these kinds of scripts. Just save the text in 2INI.CMD and drag/drop the NO WAV's output file to that script. Still I wonder, back to my basic question... This is getting confusing; please keep questions in the...

Yet another to-the-point, accurate and complete answer by @void. I really like your posts! Thanks!!

Just out of curiousity:

Is there a difference in a Force Rebuild versus stopping Everything, deleting the database, starting Everything?

I'm a little concerned though because I was hoping to gather some of the lines of text from C_rootfolders_without_WAV.txt and pop them into some exclude fields. An alternative to create these exclude fields: * Create a textfile with the folders you want to exclude (make a copy of the output file an...

Now I get it ... I misread your post. The script does "just" a compare of the "all folders" list and the "has wav-folder" list. As "Documents and settings" was reported in the "all folders" list, it will be included. Maybe Everything has an option to...

"C:\Documents and Settings" is one of those "shortcuts". The actual files from that are in C:\USERS and C:\PROGRAMDATA. Search in C:\USERS and you will find the same WAV files as in "C:\Documents and Settings".... In my "definition" files in "C:\Documents...

Started to work on said script as most "components" had to be build anyway, so here is a first version. How to: Unzip CLEAN.CMD from the .zip to the folder where your export files are. Check the filenames in the script under the SETTINGS section and change when needed. Currently: set WAV_F...

Sorry for the confusion. The message consisted of 3 parts: 1. An alternative to get a textfile with all your WAV files 2. How the script (still to be written) should do it's job 3. A check if what I think that script should report corresponds with what you would like to see. First part: The "My...

You can get a(nother) list by using CMD: dir /s /b C:\*.wav > c:\MyFolder\MyWAVs.txt The script that I "envisioned" (must be a better word for that ..) should work something like this: * export from Everything a list of all folders containing WAV files as a TXT file (you got the Everything...

Interesting question!
I Could not get it done with just an Everything query, but I think such a list can be created with a script.
Before spending time on that (I think such a script will not be straightforward): would that be of any help?

I think that if you exclude the c:\Windows folder (and subdirs) from your utilities, the results will be more in line with each other. There are a lot of "special" files (amongst which WAV files) in Windows itself which might cause double-counting (678 WAV's on my Win7 test system)

Missed all these messages while I was writing mine... You can ignore my message.

Depending on how you closed Everything, the process is still running without it being shown in Task Manager's application list. In Task Manager, If you go to the Details tab (Win10) / Processes tab (Win7) Everything is probably still there. You can right-click on the Everything process(es) and selec...

I don't think you can with the Options GUI. The OpenFile /OpenFolder dialog box just can't open files/folders that aren't there. What you could do, though is edit the Everything.ini file (close Everything first, otherwise the content of the INI file will be overwritten. When you start Everything aga...

OK, got it. Thanks for the research and info!

Ok, thanks for clarification! Either answer would be OK, but being on different wavelengths makes communicating on a forum even harder than it already is. Obviously I can't tell you the right number of files or a definitive method to get this count (and it's a little too much to count them manually ...

It seems that all the filters are exported. As the export file is a CSV file (plain text), you can open it in (for example) Notepad and delete all the lines you don't want to import later on. "Plan B": This CMD command creates per filter a .csv file, using the "all-in-one" export...

Do you mean this in a cynical way? (can't tell ...)

* Some programs search through zip files, others don´t * depends on the useraccount the search program runs under.

In the meantime ...

you could disable the "Search as you type" option. In that case you have to add an <Enter> after you completed your query.
This option can be found here: Menu:Tools > Options > General > UI

I *think* you put Everything.exe two times on the command line. It should read something like: "c:\path\to\everything.exe" -instance "Mein erster Versuch" (oder -instance "ETP Server"; der Name is egal .. ) EDIT: Upon re-reading this: Sorry for the language mix up; I sa...

Confirmed, it works, you did it again... I also added db_location=nul, used the -nodb command line parameter, and set the ini to read only. Now that's portable! :) Nice! :-) If you want to be sure that your prortable Everything doesn't interfere with a running "regular" Everything, use in...

Many thanks. Concatenate all your file lists into one list and open this file list in Everything. Is there a special way to do it or just open the lists in the file list editor? Many thanks again Here's one: * In the Everything searchbar, type "filelistfilename:*.efu" (without the quotes)...
