[...] and the x64 Everything64.dll

Is there a difference with using Everything32.dll? I thought all IPC communication is 32-bit? Or is that completely irrelevant here?

(a new episode in the serie "One idiot can ask more questions than 100 wise men can answer .." )

By the way, I am curious, which program is in slow development and uses Everything in Open/Save dialogs? That is JumpToFolder . Main technical difference with regular launchers is that is is not running in the background (and a lot of of missing features :)). When writing it, I started looking at a...

I really NEED THIS..

Just curious: what makes sorting files and folders together so useful to you?

Yes, that is expected behaviour. Take a look at this discussion for some background.

You could add file: to your search query to limit the results to, well, only files.

It is a setting in Everything.ini:
search_edit_drag_accept_files=1 will enable dropping a file in the search bar;
search_edit_drag_accept_files=0 will disble it.

Everything.ini can be found in the %APPDATA%\Everything folder, or else in the folder where your Everything.exe is.

It is already on the to-do list according to this post (and a couple of others)

This will be a "special edition" of IndexThis This version doesn't even require Everything to be installed. How to use: Right click a folder, a drive or the background of a folder (an empty part), select IndexThis and that folder will be temporarily indexed. How to install: Create a new folder Copy ...

What do you mean by *the* context menu? The Windows context menu in for example File Explorer, or the context menu in Everything (that also includes the Windows context menu entries). If you want Everything's Advanced Rename functionality added to Explorer, you can do the following: In File Explorer...

As I understood (through PM) that you have issues installing Link Shell Extension [1] and you want also the hardlinks to be created - and not just the folder structure (that is how I initially interpreted your question): - Download the command-line version ln.exe from here - Start CMD.exe and run ln...

Another question, is the option Everything service can only be check in option? Is there a command line option can set the service and call everything?

You've put Denmark on the map, Jonas

Thanks for posting!

Your custom filters are stored outside Everything.ini. They are in a file named Filters.csv . You can use Everything to search for this Filters.csv file. It is a plain text file, so you can view it in - for example - Notepad to see if it contains your custom filters. If you found the right one, you ...

There is already an ini-setting to add drag&drop functionality to the search bar, but that will paste the filename in the format filelist:"C:\path to\filename.txt" . Not very useful in this case. In Everything 1.5 - the next major version - this will be possible and there it will paste "filename.txt...

By the way: this is all a result of experimenting with the layout of Everything. So far I like the Path column at the end. Looking at very long paths is now a simple CTRL+Right-cursor (or two) to see the entire path (after making the Path collumn extremely wide). For now, I like it better than resiz...

My system-wide default is to use a 'short year' (21); I like Everything to show the 'long year' (2021). Luckily that is possible

You can change how the date and time are displayed in the result list of Everything using this and this information. I don't care very much for the default layout (same as File Explorer), so I changed it: 2021-01-15 21_52_49-Window.png If you want the same layout: Type or paste /date_format=dd-MM-yy...

Try it with:

Update: 59,203,564 objects

That is an impressive amount of files/folders!

Just curious: can Everything handle that without problems? (not that I have plans to collect that many files ..

)

Thanks for the feedback, Mike.

So, my "job" is done here? No changes to the code needed?

i don't know why this can be found and the other can not That is because 东西 is not only part of the foldername, but also of the filename (1) 东西.mp4 search for filenames with 东西.mp4 (2) D:\好吃的 Search folders containing D:\好吃的 (3) 东西 search for filenames containing 东西 (and that will match 好吃的东西 .mp4

and i have another question, if i want to search all the cht.sup in both two folders at one time. how to? cht.sup "D:\ 电视剧 folder1" | "D:\folder1" The | is Everything-speak for OR. OR is "stronger" than AND (like * is stronger than + in arithmetic) , so that search would translate to: Search for al...

.cht.sup D:\电视剧 folder1 if the space came after :\ in search bar, that means the space should not be the AND or between function, right? because the space came after :\ sign shows the space should be a part of folder, to search in a folder .cht.sup D:\ 电视剧 folder1 Would get translated to: a filenam...

.cht.sup D:\电视剧 folder1 no work That is expected. A space - that is not between "" - in Everything means AND. So you are searching for filenames with .cht.sup AND folder1 in the filename AND D:\电视剧 somewhere in the path of that filename. It would match a file "D:\电视剧 something\a filename that has f...

Good catch, @tuska! (didn't see that one coming ... )

cht.sup 'D:\folder1' Use cht.sup "D:\folder1" instead. (double quotes instead of single quotes) Another thing: you can check the statusbar to see if there are any search modifiers active. There should be none mentioned in the statusbar. You can also check this in the Search menu: Only Everything sh...

The idea is to use a command-line utility that converts your PDF's (temporarily) to text. If the size of that is less than 25 bytes, this is considered a 'graphic' PDF that needs OCR to be readable. Those files are moved to a new subfolder NeedOCR. Here's how: Only run this if all PDF's are in one f...

Does it help if you put the foldername in "", like:

Code: Select all

cht.sup   "D:\电视剧 folder1"

N ot (easily) doable in Everything. I would write a script for that (couple of lines of code) When identified, what should happen to those files? Create a list?

You're welcome!

- Go to Menu:Tools > Options > Indexes > Exclude
- Press the Add Filter button
- Type node-modules
- OK, OK
- Wait until Everything is done with reindexing (check the statusbar)

Don't know what you mean by that?

You are running the 32-bit version of Everything. 32-bit applications can only address a limited amount of RAM (2-3GB).
With this many files, you can better switch to the 64-bit version of Everything.

Does the issue persist when running the 64-bit version?

oh wow i am amazed .my post is invisible. and you reply to all posts except mine.thanks. That happens more often in the Suggestions sub-forum.

Launchy has never caught my attention because I see him as ugly, besides he has stopped receiving support for more than ten years. Just FYI: There is also LaunchyQT, a fork of Launchy. Looks better, but no Everything integration, so I am not interested :) There are sites that put Wox in 1st place, ...

This is not usable

What is your use-case? You can use the command-line tool ES.exe to output in any format you like.

As we know, Wox is the most popular launcher and uses the Everything plugin, as pointed out here. So Wox without Everything is nothing. Not only Wox uses Everything .. Launchy, Ueli and Keypirinha too! PowerToys Run utility is based on Wox and can use Wox plugins, so it should be possible to use Ev...

All NTFS formatted local disks are updated in real-time, so I assume you are talking about FAT(32) or network disks? In that case, you can add folders separately. Let's assume you have an X:-drive with folders X:\Music and x:\Movies. You can now add each of them separately through Menu:Tools > Optio...

Another possibility... eh, trying to think of where things stand with Everything & links... ? Maybe it was something like on initial scan, it picks up the links, but with subsequent changes, it may only find one of the links - or something like that, don't recall... ? If you were to do a periodic, ...

You can also limit the number of results in the Everything result list.

If you want only 8 results to be shown, add the following to your search query:

Code: Select all

count:8

Assuming your portable hard drive is NTFS formatted, you could use hardlinks . Hardlinks are a sort of shortcuts to files/folders, but it would be a little more accurate to describe them as an alias. If you create a hardlink to an mp3, you can move or rename the "original" mp3 to a different folder ...

Ah, I see : a \ is already specified as \\
In that case. doubling them should do the trick:

Code: Select all

Everything_SetSearch("c:\\\\test\\\\");
Everything_SetSearch("c:\\\\test\\\\.*");

(as you might have noticed, I have no prior experience with the SDK functions

)

Everything_SetSearch("c:\\test\\*");

From the Everything regex help:

* Matches the preceding element zero or more times

So you are searching for multiple \\\\

Try this instead:

Code: Select all

Everything_SetSearch("c:\\test\\");

- or -

Code: Select all

Everything_SetSearch("c:\\test\\.*");
