The filesystem monitors might have missed the creation of these files.
Have the missing files been indexed by "Everything"?
To check, try searching for

Code: Select all

*.rmvb

Are the files still missing with this search?

Does disabling check for update notifications fix the problem?

Ok, thanks for the update! I appreciate your working on this program. It's truly amazing. Making a donation tonight for your effort.

Thanks for your support.

I'm wondering if this app is still being developed. It's been over 5 months since the last alpha release, so I just want to check, since I really like Everything and hope it will continue to be improved. I am still developing "Everything" in my free time. what is "Objects" that ...

Offline volumes will be supported in the next release of "Everything".

The regex parser only supports ASCII characters. Adding support for unicode regex is on my "Things to do" list. Just to point out that the wildcard (i.e. not regex) '?' character also will not work. So H?ndel will find Handel, but not Händel. By default, "Everything" will only se...

The "Everything" ETP server is intended for a single admin user. Although you can have multiple instances of "Everything" to search and access different files and folders. See Multiple instances for more information. To limit one instance to include only D:\Folder1 and D:\Folder2...

I have added support for subst drives for the next release of "Everything".

You can test this now with the latest alpha release of "Everything".

The "Everything" SDK uses the "Everything" IPC.

The "Everything" SDK requires Everything is running in the background.

"Everything" does not have a ETP password by default. Maybe you are connecting to another FTP service.. Is the Start ETP Server ticked in the Tools menu after clicking it? If not, try changing the ETP/FTP port number. To change the ETP server port: In " Everything ", from the Too...

Thanks for pointing this one out.

I have fixed this for the next release of "Everything".

A new "Everything" window should only inherit the old window's search settings if you create a new window from the File -> New Window command.

Fixed for the next release of "Everything".

You can test this now with the alpha latest release of "Everything".

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I will consider escaping and unescaping when Switch to and from regex.

I have also added escape command line search options when regex is enabled to my "Things to do" list.

The "Everything" database is a cache of all your NTFS Master File Tables (MFTs). It is not a vital file and can be deleted. So how is it updated When you run "Everything", it reads the database from disk into memory. If the database does not exist, or is out of date "Everyth...

"Everything" 1.2.1.371 requires a volume to have a drive letter assigned.

Support for volumes mounted in NTFS folders has been implemented for the next release of "Everything".

You might like to test this now with the latest alpha release.

The problem is caused by "Everything" rendering the date/time format with ASCII characters only. "Everything" will not display unicode characters correctly in the data/time format. The issue has been fixed for the next release of "Everything". You can change your date/t...

I am working on custom file lists, which would allow indexing of id3 tags.

Indexing id3 tags will be slow and you will need to maintain these indexes.

Maybe an "Are you sure?" message if you are trying to right click more than 1000 files

How can I set up Everything to search more than just the "C" drive? Most of my stuff is on a network drive at the company where I work. No. Unfortunately, "Everything" can only search one database per search window. I am considering searching multiple databases per window in a f...

Corrupt file systems can make "Everything" unstable. Please check your NTFS volumes for errors. To check your NTFS volumes for errors: Open My Computer . For each NTFS volume: Right click . Click Properties . Click the Tools tab . Click Check Now... . Check Automatically fix file system er...

"Everything" will only index local NTFS volumes.

To search remote NTFS volumes you will need to use an ETP connection.

Windows compatibility agent has popped up twice since I started using 451a saying that Everything is looking for flash.ocx. Everything's not calling flash.ocx is it??

"Everything" should not be calling flash.ocx.

Unfortunately, there is a bug in 1.2.1.451a that prevents "Everything" from using full path wild card excludes.

The issue has been fixed for the next release of "Everything".

The exclude filter for *\sam\* applied to files and folders is correctly excluding all sam folders here. Are the folders you wish to exclude are named exactly as sam, or do they have some extra characters or spaces? Try using only the *\sam\* exclude filter for files and folders. Please make sure ex...

"Everything" is crashing. Are there any errors reported in your Errorlog.txt file in your "Everything" installation folder? Try deleting your Everything.db in your "Everything" installation folder. Try running "Everything" in debug mode. To run "Everythin...

Unfortunately, No. "Everything" will not index these files.

I do have plans to add support for indexing these files.
However, you will need to manually update these indexes.

Please add the following exclude rules: Click Add Filter . Select Include . Set the Filter to c:\program files\*\*.exe Click OK . Click Add Filter . Select Include . Set the Filter to d:\program files\*\*.exe Click OK . Click Add Filter . Select Include . Set the Filter to d:\tools\*\*.exe Click OK ...

Unfortunately, it is not possible to avoid the UAC from a context menu as far as I know.

"Everything" will also exclude the following folders: $RmMetadata\$TxfLog $RmMetadata\$Txf $RmMetadata "Everything" will also exclude the following files: $RmMetadata\$Repair $RmMetadata\$TxfLog\$Tops $RmMetadata\$TxfLog\$TxfLog.blf $RmMetadata\$TxfLog\$TxfLogContainer00000000000...

"Everything" should include this volume by default.

Are there any errors reported in your Errorlog.txt file in your "Everything" installation?

"Everything" must rescan all volumes if you plug in a new volume. To stop "Everything" from indexing new volumes: Exit "Everything" Open your Everything.ini file in your "Everything" installation folder. Set check_media_ X to 1 for volumes you want "Every...

"Everything" is most likely excluding this folder because it can not find its parent file reference number (FRN).

Please try the following:

Make a new folder G:\New
Move all files in G:\$MapAttributeValue to G:\New
Delete G:\$MapAttributeValue
Rename G:\New to G:\$MapAttributeValue

Updated things to do

It works fine with files, they are updated at once when deleted, why not folders? I am not sure why the folder deletion is being missed by "Everything". Try making a new folder.. Does "Everything" find the newly created folder "New Folder"? Try deleting the newly creat...

"Everything" does not update file sizes automatically.

You must press F5 to refresh file information, such as file size.

Monitoring file sizes is on my "Things to do" list.

Win + Shift + VK_BROWSER_SEARCH with version 1.2.1.371 worked fine here, as did Win + Ctrl + Alt + Browser Search with 1.2.1.451a. Browser Search will bring up the normal Windows Search if it is not bound to a hotkey. There might be a conflict with another application. "Everything" will re...

I am considering implementing an optional plug-in that would communicate with a service for indexing and updating.

All the functions that require administrative privileges could be moved from the client to the service..

You might like to try running "Everything" as a service.

Please see Run Everything as a service for more information.

Please use $$, $%, $( and $) to escape $, %, ( and ).

Added for the next release of "Everything":
Ignore new removable volumes by default.
Improved/Removed some of the UI locks, meaning you can still use the UI while "Everything" is busy.

You will need to run another instance of "Everything" with limited indexing. To run another "Everything" instance: Copy your "Everything" folder to a new folder: Everything_Server Edit the Everything.ini in the Everything_Server folder (Create one if it does not exist) ...

Copy the Everything.exe and your backup of your Everything.db into an empty folder.
Run Everything.exe
You can export the list from the File menu.

The filter setting should be temporary.

I will consider making this an option, with new windows not inheriting the old windows filter settings by default.

Thanks for pointing out this bug.

Fixed for the next release of "Everything".

You may need to enable Ultra DMA Mode 5 from your BIOS.

You will be able to mix and match regex and non-regex expressions in the next release of "Everything".

You can test this now with the latest alpha release.

The following search should work with the alpha release, with regex and match path disabled:
c:\Users\ regex:^[xyz]*

Please enable Match Path from the Search Menu. Please try the following search: ^C:\\Users.*\\[xyz][^\\]* ^ = Match the start of the file name. C:\\Users = Match the path C:\Users (use \\ to escape a single \). .* = match any number of any character. \\[xyz] = match a file name starting with xyz. [^...
