"Everything" version 1.2.1.451a

[stenionet]

When I double click or press enter over an image, the windows image viewer(the default image viewer of the windows) close and open. This make the operation slow."

I forgot to say: in the Everything-1.2.1.371.exe, the problem did not occur.
In this version, the image viewer did not close before open another image.

The problem is caused by starting an application with execute in a separate thread enabled.

To disable execute in a separate thread:

• In "Everything", from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the View tab.
• In the Advanced Settings, under the General folder, uncheck Execute in a separate thread.
• Click OK.

Did not work. The problem occur with image files only.
I tested with audio and video files and it is working fine.

I am sorry. The problem is with my system and not with the Everything.
Everything continues to work perfectly.

I just downloaded Everything-1.2.1.451a.zip. When I run Everything-1.2.1.451a.exe after extracting it, my Norton Internet Security thinks it is high risk, and quarantines it. Vista Business, all windows updates current. Norton Internet Security 2010 fully up to date.
I tried to upload Pics of messages but it wouldn't let me upload jpg's. Basically the messages say:
[Norton] SONAR has removed security risk, see Details, and
[Details] Suspicious behavior detected in everything-1.2.1.451a.exe.
It doesn't provide any further explanation of the nature of the "suspicions".
Any comments? Is it safe? What would it be doing that Norton finds suspicious?

Thanks for this super-fabulous program.

Is there a way to be alerted (email) of new alpha/beta/prod releases?

I run NIS 2010 also and it is perfectly safe. It will give you the SONAR error when you first launch the program but once you accept it and tell it to ignore it, it will be fine.

[kookaburra2]

Using above version, Vista Business.
1. I had the exe (and the ini it had created) in folder X. Moved the exe and the ini to folder Y. Started exe. I expected it to use the ini in Y, but it made a fresh ini in X. OH, I just found SE was still resident, I'm used to knowing it is / not running based on icon / no icon in tray; no icon, so I'd assumed wrongly no SE. So this is not an issue after all, but it sucked me in coz of #2.
2. In Options | View, I can't see the setting status of any of the Advanced settings. There is no checkmark or radio button next to any of the items in the list, or anything else that shows the setting on or off. I tried a few of the settings - when I click on any line, the Apply button activates. The few I've tried did toggle when I Apply'ed, so the settings appear to be working, just that I can't tell which way they are set by looking. This makes it really really hard.
3. I'm thinking it would be nice if some visual status symbol or something was visible at all times to show which of the Search | Recent Changes options is in effect.
4. Options | Filters - I suggest the list include the <None> item so the list is the same as that in Search | Filter. The one in Options could depict that it is not customizable, but you could make it movable.
5. I can't see that I can edit the NAME of my filters. I'd like to be able to.
6. Options | General | Allow Multiple Windows doesn't seem to do anything. Regardless of which way it is set, Ctrl-N starts a new window, and New Search Window from the tray icon does nothing.
7. Regardless of which way Options | View | Allow Multiple Instances is set, I do get multiple instances. Remember #2 above, I'm assuming the setting is in fact toggling when I select it then Apply.
8. It sure would help if I knew how to upload little pics of some of these things. Something about a pic and 1000 words.
Did I mention that I think this is (one of) the best ever programs. Thanks a million.

[therube]

how to upload little pics

You don't upload, but rather host them somewhere & provide links to or use [IMG] tags to embed in the post.

http://tinypic.com/ works for me.

Is version 1.2.1.451a still the latest version or has it gone into closed beta now?

[cacamama]

451a appears to be the latest beta. I wish David would update it already, the anticipation is killing me!

[fabioq]

... the anticipation is killing me!

You and me!!

[aa004]

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.

Ok I'm getting an error whenever I attempt to open this file (tried three different unzip apps).

EDIT: Ok weird I downloaded using IE8 and it unzipped fine seems to be an issue with Google Chrome.

[hsrstud]

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.

[jgt1942]

I just installed 451a (Win7 x64) and it is impressive. I also have some Win7 x32 systems but have not had time to install on them. I've been beta testing another application and somehow I arrive at the point where I wanted to know how many files I had access to. Using Everything, one drive at a time (example "S:\" ) I scanned each drive and then totaled up the numbers.

My usage of Everything is rather simple as compared to others that I've seen post but I find it to be a SUPER valuable tool!

The question I have is - what is "Objects" that I see in the bottom left corner of the Everything window? This is the number I used for the number of files and it is close to what I find when I use Xplorer2 and scan the drive for *.* (it reports 5,889 items). I just need to verify some numbers and as I use different application I encounter different numbers and the numbers are labeled differently, e.g. Everything uses "objects" and Xplorer2 uses "items". I just want to ensure when I used a number I'm comparing an apple to an apple.

I am still developing "Everything" in my free time.

what is "Objects" that I see in the bottom left corner of the Everything window?

In "Everything" "objects" refer to physical NTFS files and folders.

Other programs may report more items such as shell items and hard links or less items such as hidden NTFS folders.

[hsrstud]

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

[Boofo]

David, is there ever going to be another update to this? It has been quite a while now.

[ArchCarrier]

I found a small bug in this version: the item 'Search Syntax' in the Help menu pops up the Everything helpfile but says "This program cannot display the webpage."

[void]

David, is there ever going to be another update to this? It has been quite a while now.

I am working on a re-write of 451a, refining some of the functionality in hope of releasing a beta version.

I am sorry, I can not give a time estimate at this stage as there is still a lot of work to do.

[Boofo]

Thank you. At least we know what is going on now. An info update once in a while can really make a difference.

[Stubi]

When I have the list of a search and right click on an item and select Open Path and open the folder and then close Everything I get a message "Everything has stopped working". This with Win7 32 bit.

Otherwise the best tool on Earth!!!

Have to change my problem. Did not want to delete it because others might get the same experience.

It was caused by Nero 10 Back it up. More and more applications crashed because of this in Win7 32. I uninstalled it and all problems are gone. Good that I did not have to uninstall Everything. Hard to be without it.

[cacamama]

I presume the project is dead...

I am still working on "Everything" in my free time.

[Stubi]

That is very good news that you are still working on it. Win7 has a better search function now than XP but still not as good as yours. And with my 6 TB disk space I could not find anything on my disks anymore without Everything. And how many files I discover that I have several times... Thank you a lot for it.

[cacamama]

Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to be a dick, but it's been ages since the last build came out. Not that I have any gripes with .451a, I haven't encountered any bugs, and the core functionality is there, but it'd love to see it improved.

I remember you expressing your reluctance about releasing the source. I don't blame you, but it actually could speed up/revive development. There's no guarantee that development will take off with great speed, but it's better than nothing. I'd actually love to see "Everything" get picked up by Microsoft like they did with Sysinternals.

You could sell "Everything", but I doubt it'd bring in serious money. Despite my perception of "Everything" being the single most useful app I can imagine, many would consider it to be a "niche" app.

I'd still greatly appreciate it if you could somehow "speed things up".

[vegas]

Attitudes like yours (cacamama) only slow developers down that are working on volunteer projects. They don't want to be rushed on these undertakings. Take your time, we all look forward to whatever YOU do with the project, NOT a Microsoft. The majority of us, I would have to say, do NOT feel the way cacamama does. Thanks for everything you have done void and anything you MAY choose to release in the future. Have a great weekend. Dave

[BDraft]

I'm totally agree with vegas, although all of us will celebrate future releases and updates everything works like a charm as it is now, there is no hurry at all. Otherwise just the idea of M$ taking such a great piece of free soft really depress me, I hope that never happen. My infinite thanks to void for this amazing program, best wishes and kind regards.

[SafetyCar]

I think the problem is that we haven't any release, in my opinion an at least three-monthly snapshot of the program would calm us down, even if it's full of bugs

You don't know anything about Sysinternals do you? Many great apps are now being distributed by Microsoft, Mark Russ..s,dfks whatever his name is, is developing them. Microsoft is not an inept company made of pure evil. Sure, they're assholes, but they do a decent enough job that we ALL (at least all of us who post in this thread) use Windows.

I haven't had ANY problems with "Everything". That's great. And for me, it's feature complete (except maybe metadata indexing, which is not essential). It still has shortcomings though. To name a few, it only works with admin privileges which is not secure. It provides access to any file on the machine, regardless of the current user's rights. Not a great deal for many of us, but a shortcoming nonetheless. It's not multi-user friendly. At this rate, no progress will be made. If the source is released or if other developers join the project, it could roll on.

[therube]

And that has what to do about what?

There is only what is. David does what he does, when he does it. Until you are I can do better, we live with that or do without. You want to see things happen quicker. You've offered suggestions. If they're acted upon or not only time may tell. No need to keep harping on it.

There certainly have been other good projects that have fallen by the wayside. People change, priorities change. Be thankful for what you have been given to this point.

[cacamama]

A fitting nickname you've got there. I'm not "harping" on it. Read the replies to my post. I'm not the one going "OMG MICROSOFT IS ASSHOLE ME NO WANT MICROSHIT ACQUIRE EVERYTHING". I've expressed my gratitude for "Everything" time and again on these forums.

A master of the obvious you are. Things will be done when they're done. I OBVIOUSLY CAN TELL.
Besides, how is my offering suggestions , an act you've recognized, harping?

I haven't even pushed any suggestions on anyone, I just put stuff out there. I'm not even defending those options. How is that harping?

Attitudes like yours (cacamama) only slow developers down that are working on volunteer projects.

I haven't attacked anyone unlike "vegas". I even contributed by writing scripts that used add minor functionality to "Everything" (look them up, I've written 2-3 scripts). How's that slowing the developer down? Read the posts I've quoted, I'm not even supporting the ideas, just putting them out there, discussing them. As you may have noticed, this board hasn't been that active anyway.

The idea with MS adopting 3rd party software is that it's easier for the developer to get support from MS and to have access to certain details. It also ensures that (to a degree) said software is complete or stable , since it's going to be presented to the world as an MS offering.

There certainly have been other good projects that have fallen by the wayside. People change, priorities change.

I know. I stated more than once that releasing the source may not ensure the advancement of "Everything". I am not being a smartass or telling anyone how to do things.

Be thankful for what you have been given to this point.

I AM THANKFUL. My mouth has run dry praising "Everything", about how I've encountered no bugs despite it being alpha software, about how "it's fine the way it is".

[BDraft]

Dude you seems to be the only one that is on a hurry here, quoting everyone and jumping for M$ when nobody said nothing against them but just express our wishes that the project remains in David's hands and not in a corp, it's just an opinion. Otherwise I've no problem in wait weeks or months until a new version, the world will not end and hopefully we'll see many updates and improvements in Everything in a near future, if you can't deal with that or anxiety overcomes you take a valium.

[therube]

OK, chill everyone.

[JasonBunting]

This is not an attempt to feed the troll, but I did want to say the following, for the sake of everyone else here.

This lovely exchange reminds me of an experience 4 years ago, when what was originally just a small project of my own, became used by a handful of people... I would get emails from people practically demanding updates to something. The 'project' was essentially a collection of CodeSmith.NET code generation templates that were open source by virtue of their very nature (i.e. they were text files), yet people wanted me to meet some contrived time-based expectations for completing features I only hoped to get done.

First off, I love the utterly passive-aggressive statement by our friend here:

I presume the project is dead...

That's gotta be a classic! I mean, it just drips with love! How can one not feel the appreciation this person has for the project? You'd have to be taking crazy pills!

Oh, and who can forget the subtle-but-not-so-subtle conclusion to his first attempt at defending his attack:

I'd still greatly appreciate it if you could somehow "speed things up"

Another one for the scrapbook! I mean, no pressure or anything, just "speed things up," okay? He sounds as though he contributed a large sum of cash to the project and now feels entitled to make demands on your time. Holy crap!

Anyway, just wanted to stop by to thank you for the awesome application, I love the speed of this tool; while there are a lot of things I would love to see it do, I can completely respect the fact that life gets in the way at times. I have many projects laying around that I intend to come back to, but just never get the time to do it. At least your tool is already useful, unlike the loads of half-baked stuff I have created!

Thanks again!

[Pickaxe]

I just wanted to drop by and mention that this is one of the more useful freeware projects I have ever had the pleasure of stumbling upon. Extremely fast, very flexible, lightweight. Wonderful.

Over the past 2 years I've been using it frequently. It's a huge time saver and the sheer speed of it still catches me by surprise sometimes (gotta love that USN Journal). Thank you for making this great piece of software.

[Cruzer]

451a appears to be the latest beta. I wish David would update it already, the anticipation is killing me!

no,452a is the latest beta,the link is http://www.voidtools.com/Everything-1.2.1.452a.zip

[therube]

There was one change in 452a (that I am aware) & that change was inconsequential for all intents & purposes.
Only there to test one situation that had come up. (What is was escapes me.)
Since Void rarely mentioned it & continually mentions 451a, 451a is what I would stick with as the most recent alpha & so what testers should use.

Hi David,

The "allow multiple windows" feature doesn't seem to work in version 1.2.1.451a ...

[therube]

This bug has been introduced with version 1.2.1.446a - works correctly with 1.2.1.436a.

For me a showstopper, back to 1.2.1.436a.

See Bug in version 1.2.1.451a for a solution.

Allow multiple windows will only take effect when you run another Everything.exe.
I would recommend leaving Allow multiple windows enabled and using the new option Toggle window from notification icon and Toggle window hotkey to use only one window.
