Yes, that worked perfect - the opening of the Solidworks files works fast now. I have installed this on all the PC's running the Solidworks 2019 application. The issue is resolved with the version 1.4.1.969

Your Everything Application and support is outstanding!

Thank you!

krosal

My first try of disabling the Solidworks extensions didn't seem to make a difference, I will try it again today. Maybe I need to exit the Everything application each time I disable an extension. That I did not do. I just disabled an extension one at a time and performed the search. I do also have a ...

Hello,

I did have the user enter /shell_max_path=1, it didn't change anything for his searching and scrolling slowness when searching for the Solidworks files.
I'm not sure if this will cause any problems for him now that I ran this command. IS there a way to set it back to what to was?

Thank you

krosal

OK, I can try this and see if disabling a shell extension and see what happens.

I really don't thing that there is anything with a long filename such as that.

krosal

I have (2) files, (1) without Solidworks installed and the other with.

Shell Extensions List_a (no solidworks installed)

Shell Extensions List_b (solidworks installed)

krosal

I have uninstalled the Solidworks on one of the Engineering PC's. What I can do is a comparison with a context menu for one that doesn't have Solidworks installed and then how it is after the Solidworks is installed.

krosal

Unfortunately the changes that I made did not fix the issue with the Solidworks. I did come to find out that it is definitely related to Solidworks. If a filename has a Solidworks file extension, the search is slow only if Solidworks is installed on the PC. Everything shows on the bottom left of the...

krosal

I ran a test on a Solidworks 2019 PC and it seems to have fixed the slowness on that particular PC that I tested. I will have to wait until Monday to check the computer that was having the issue. Since the PC that I checked did have Solidworks installed, I believe that the problem is resolved since ...

krosal

OK, I completed the following;

disabled the IPv6 on the ETP Server.

I have unchecked the 'Enable logging' on the ETP Server.

It looks like I need to add the IP address of the ETP Server in the 'Bind to interfaces' field. That is what I put in there.

Thank you,

krosal

Thank you all for the help and resolution on this.

krosal

Currently, I only have a few terminal server clients connecting to the ETP server. 99% of the clients are Windows 7 Professional and Windows 10 Professional connecting to a Windows Server 2019 Standard server. I guess I misunderstood you when you said "Published Application" I will update my last re...

krosal

No it's not a Published Terminal Server Application, it's just installed on the Windows 7 and Windows 10 PC's as an Everything application. Everyone in the company is setup the same way and pointing to the ETP server. We have (2) locations and each location has there own ETP server setup where all o...

krosal

Yes, that worked perfect.

Thank you for this.

krosal

This would be with Solid State Drives

krosal

I have found at my company that if Solidworks 2019 is installed on a PC, that the searching is slow, and the scrolling through the file list is also slow and seems to freeze on some searches. Has anyone else noticed this. I can do the same search on a computer that does not have and Solidworks softw...

krosal

Are you also running an ETP Server?

krosal

Hello, Currently the Menu: Tools > Options Home : Sort is set to 'Extension' If I look at the View > Sort by, it is set back to the 'Name' as soon a the search is performed. Before the search is performed, it shows View > Extension. The Tools > Options Home : Sort is still set to Extension after the...

krosal

If I go to the ETP Server and do the same same within the 'View" "Sort by" the sort saves fine. For some reason, it doesn't follow through or save to the ETP client settings. The ETP client sort "changes" to default when performing a search.

krosal

Hello, I went and created the -Bookmark "Startup" based on the instructions that were requested and notice this. When opening the '-Bookmark "Startup" shortcut and then go to the View - Sort by", the selection is at the "Date Modified" & "Ascending". Then entering a part number and performing the se...

krosal

Hello, Unfortunately that did not work. I first tried the creating the "Startup" shortcut using the Shell:Startup and that did not save the setting. I did create the new bookmark for the startup sort, but it defaulted back to the default settings for some reason. I then went and modified the ETP Ser...

krosal

Perfect, that will work for me.

Thank you,

krosal

Hello,

How do I change the system startup from Everything.exe to Everything.exe -bookmark "Startup"

Thank you,

krosal

Hello, My clients are logging into the ETP server automatically by the configuration in the Tools/Options/Home/ETP Server selection. The Index Option is selected as ETP Server. The Everything launches automatically on the System Startup option. No user credentials is needed to connect to the ETP ser...

krosal

Hello,
I set up the Fast extension sort on the ETP server, but that didn't follow though to the client. I also configured the default sort and that also did not follow though to the client. Is there somewhere on the client .ini that resolve this?

Thank you,

krosal

When trying to configure a sorting option it doesn't seem to want to save the settings. I have tried to set it a couple of different ways, but it comes back with the default settings. We are trying to have it sort by extension and then in Ascending order. I tried exiting and then going back in, but ...

krosal

That does make sense, very good information. I will modify the thin clients to point to the ETP server that is located where the Terminal Server is.

Thank you very much for this support.

krosal

Yes, I am running an ETP server at the location of the Terminal Server and another at the remote location. I did however set the remote TS clients to point to the remote ETP server which seems to be working fine. Do you recommend that I just point it to the EPT server where the Terminal server is lo...

krosal

I was able to get this working. It was a mistake by me. I didn't have it pointed to the ETP Server that I have setup at the remote location. Once I did this, the searches showed information and the filtering to the path worked perfect. I can now use the filtering and remove the 2nd ETP server connec...

krosal

I have verified that all of the remote desktop applications run as they should. Lotus Notes, Mainframe, etc.

I have a question on the filtering rules, where would I find these settings?

Thank you,

krosal

Yes they do.

krosal

I have recently setup an ETP server that would run (2) instances on the server and worked really well. I also had the same setup running at our remote business location. While we were working to increase Network bandwidth at our remote location we noticed that Everything has a great 'Filtering' feat...

krosal

Copying the files that you listed worked perfect. Everything that I had configured showed up and was the same as my configuration.

Thank you!

Please make sure the Everything.ini in the same location as your Everything.exe contains:
appdata=1

Hello, should the appdata=1 line instead be app_data=1 with the underscore. That looks to be how my original one is listed.

Thank you,

krosal

Thank you for that Information. It will really help me out.

I will push out a few test installs before I do the full deployment. I think it will go good with the information you provided.

Thank you,

krosal

I am wanting to do a deployment to all the users via the Group Policy Management Console. In order for me to tackle this I would like to know if copying my configuration of the .ini file will duplicate everything my current setup. Can the filters be copied also? Is there anything that doesn't get co...

krosal

Yes, that's it.

Nice tool - Thank you so much!

krosal

Hello, I recently found the search tool on your website for adding the Everything Search to the "right click" dialog menu in Windows. I'm currently running an ETP server on some network drives and this tool would work great for individuals who have a mapped drive that is not included in the ETP conf...

krosal

Me too, I wouldn't have figured it out without your help.

Thank you!

krosal

It was a mistake by me. The creating of the 2nd service works just fine on Windows Server 2019 after creating the 2nd Everything instance by entering the command; Everything.exe -instance "Published Documents" Once the 2nd instance was created, the creating of the 2nd service worked, sorry for any c...

https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8558 Above is the previous thread about the installation of a 2nd or more service instance of Everything.

We are currently in the process of migrating to Windows Server 2019. Recently I had setup Everything with (2) instances and everything ran perfect. I tried to install the 2nd instance with the cmd application Install_ETPServiceon on the Server2019, but it will not create the 2nd service. When I run ...

OK, that is great.

Thank you,

Hello, It looks like the es.exe is used for a few things such as exporting files list to text file. What happens if you run it by mistake, does it hurt anything? I don't believe so, but just want to check that it doesn't make any changes in the system. I was thinking this was for seeing the current ...

In reply to Void's question on the FTP server connection.

Connecting via FTP to the ETP server shows all folders and access works quickly on all PC's that I tested.

It seems like I should be good for now. I think all is good and running correctly.

Thanks for all your support.

krosal

OK, thank you.

krosal

Is there any type of security that needs to be set on the ETP server such as access 'client security access' to the Everything folder that the Everything.db is located in?

Thank you,

krosal

Unchecking 'Run As Administrator' did fix the Adobe .pdf issue we were experiencing. I did not have to check the Everything service at this time.

Thank you,

krosal

This is in response to Void's response above. What I ended up doing to resolve the issue was the following; Uninstalling and not connecting to the ETP server by right clicking on tray icon or from the Tools menu option made it where the search of 'PIPE' was instant on the users PC's that had the iss...

krosal

Yes, that worked perfect.
