[Solved] 1361a x64 slow selection

Post by w64bit »

1361a x64 is slow when window select the search result list.

Full row select is OFF.
ext:rar wildcards:container-file-name:*.pdf
In the list there are RAR files up to 25 GB/pcs (5.0 format file).
Arrange them by size.
When I window select the files starting with small size ones and going to larger ones, the selection becomes slower and slower.
This is happening when I simulate the selection (near the files, without selecting them) in Name column.

I am on i9-14900KF and I tested Everything also on Performance cores only, using CoreDirector.
Same result.

Are you showing the container filename column?
Everything will try to highlight every single pdf file in this column.

I will limit highlighting to 4096 characters in the next alpha update.

For now, please try the following search:

ext:rar nohighlight:wildcards:container-file-name:*.pdf

No Container column.
Only: Name, Path, Size, Type, Date Modified.

It's caused by highlighting and a rar file containing many files.

I have made an optimization for the next alpha update when the search doesn't contain any ORs.
I'll post a fix soon.

Everything 1.5.0.1362a improves performance when highlighting large property values.

Everything highlights all possible OR paths.
Everything 1.5.0.1362a improves highlighting terms when there's no OR paths. (if there's no OR paths, Everything will assume all search terms matched)

Everything 1.5.0.1362a will now only highlight up-to 4096 UTF-8 bytes.
