3. Don't you think you can unite "File List Editor" and "Organize Result Omissions" into one? It's possible. But why force the Result Omissions List to be a File List when it can be specifically built as a result omission list? File lists are not really designed to handle filters (eg: regex/wildcar...

Coldblackice

Awesome! I'm willing to be a tester if desired, although I'm not using non-English Windows.

Coldblackice

This is a fantastic feature! Everything is truly living up to its name, making this utility technologically "lethal". Thanks for all the hard work, void!

Coldblackice

Awesome, sounds great!

Coldblackice

Great feature! +1

An absolute savage feature, IMO: a tagging-->action function in Everything I positively hate navigating save dialogs to get to the right folder to save or move a particular file to. Relying on "Quick access" is clunky. Quickest routine I have is popping an Everything search, typing "ff:" for "folder...

Coldblackice

This is a fantastic addon. Would it be possible to implement the standard Ctrl-Shift-F10 keyboard shortcut for opening right-click context menus (of whatever file/folders are selected)? Currently, Shift-F10 only brings up a limited context menu, and it's also a context menu for the text/input sectio...

Coldblackice

Despite enabling Windows 10 "dark mode", Everything's implementation of the context menu continues to use the light theme. Is there a way to fix/change this?

Coldblackice

How in the world have I not seen this til now? Wow, this is fantastic! And that's a sizeable Github following, wow. Where have you posted about this previously that so many people have found it? I'm surprised there aren't more responses in this thread.

Coldblackice

This is a cool idea and all (I was a longtime Listary user), but honestly, IMO even better than this ability is incorporating Everything into Windows/Explorer file/save dialogs themselves. I can't tell you how many times a day I have to navigate to a random folder across a handful of drives in some ...

An option to toggle the temporary excludes from the Search is on my TODO list. Thanks for the suggestion. For now, you will need to toggle temporary excludes from the Index menu, or right click the status bar. Double clicking TEMPEXCLUDES in the statusbar will disable temporary excludes. So to clar...

Coldblackice

Would it be possible to have the ability to temporarily *include* things in searches (and not just temporary-exclude)? Sometimes I need to search for things I've added to Everything's Exclude list (great ability btw). I exclude a number of "noise" folders/files/types like FileHistory, .LNK's, cache ...

Coldblackice

Oh man (M/F), I would love to see that!! I spend a lot of time in the registry, although I have to admit taht it gets less now Windows makes it a lot harder to configure things beyond UI and GPOs. 100% agreed . More and more I find myself having to monitor systemwide registry access just so I can "...

Coldblackice

Yes please! I would love this feature as well. I use window autosize, but I'm still constantly having to resize columns to see everything (no pun intended), most often the path column, sometimes the name column as well. Even more amazing -- not sure if this would even be possible -- would be if user...

Coldblackice

I know this is a longshot, but is there any chance Everything 1.5 could be unshackled to transcend into a new dimension of bits and time, namely, the Windows registry? I realize average Joe user doesn't have much need for foraging around in the registry, but for any IT/admins in the house, the regis...

Coldblackice

It would be great if there was a way to override folder exclusions. For example, the majority of the time I don't want "FileHistory" folders included in my searches. However, occasionally I do want to search that folder. It would be great if there was a way to override an excluded folder from the se...

Tonight I will post QuickSwitch (mentioned earlier in this thread), a spin-off of JumpToFolder . I needed the QuickSwitch technology to bring JumpToFolder to the next level. When QuickSwitch works without (major) issues, I can finally continue working on JumpToFolder. I do have a version running he...

Coldblackice

Void, out of curiosity, which version do you personally use?

Coldblackice

I've been getting this same issue too when doing silent/automated installs, and have tried to suppress it as it breaks my batch installer. Great to know what it's from and there's a fix! I'll also try the nightly build, as well. Thanks!

Coldblackice

When using the "Exclude Folder" function, I use filter-objects most of the time since I have a number of repeated cache folders across a various number of browsers and browser profiles. When adding a filter, afterwards you can go back and click "Edit", and it'll still show you the edit-filter dialog...

Coldblackice

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when doing an advanced search, there are some search properties that don't get inserted inline into the search box after the advanced-search window closes. This has a negative impact for two reasons: It can become confusing afterward since there's no visible indication o...

Coldblackice

I am a user of Listary and found JumpToFolder from its forum. This program is quite a great alternative of Listary. I wonder if you have any intention of implementing some more useful functions in Listary called "Quick Switch". When a file dialog is opened and you have another Explorer window opene...

Coldblackice

I like using the folder path quick-search ability, such as "\AppData". However, sometimes I only know that part of a word is in the folder name, so I try to do a wildcard folder path, like "\*cache*" (if I'm looking for files in folders that have "cache" in their name. But when trying to use a wildc...

Coldblackice

Would it be possible to add a keyboard shortcut ability that inverts the search? For example, if I have a search consisting of: \Cache \Firefox \System32 Then pressing the "Invert" keyboard shortcut, e.g. CTRL-SHIFT-I, inverts each of those terms, adding an "!" in front of each of them, like so: !\C...

Coldblackice

I often use the path-separator ability to quickly whittle down a large resultant search set by excluding certain folders, e.g.: Search: sqlite But then seeing too many recently-modified files in the results from %AppData%\Firefox\Cache, causing the search results to "spam" cache file entries, I'll t...

Coldblackice

You beautiful, beautiful bastard! This is brilliant. Awesome idea and script!

Coldblackice

I'm trying to find some particular text in a folder full of log files, but it seems that the "contents:" ability isn't using regex or wildcards. Is it possible to do this?

Coldblackice

Thanks. What's the purpose/difference then between filters and bookmarks? It looks like bookmarks are basically just filters with more configurable options. I must be missing something, however.

Coldblackice

I love the Everything context menu option that can be accessed in explorer/file folders to limit the scope of the search to that folder. Would it be possible to implement an ability to attach a user-definable Everything keyboard shortcut to this ability natively?

Coldblackice

I have a custom filter which shows me the most recently modified/created files happening right now on my machine, but with a number of folders excluded, like browser cache folders (which overwhelm this ability with their fast/frequent writes). This is useful for finding wherever some program I'm usi...

Coldblackice

Is it possible to trigger a re-indexing of a particular subfolder (of a folder that's already scheduled to be indexed)? Everything crashed last night before it reindexed a network share, and I'm wondering if it's possible to easily reindex a particular subfolder on that share. I know I could add tha...

Coldblackice

Fred (or anyone), could you explain what you mean by using Everything as your default app launcher for app links in %AppData%? Does this mean just opening a new instance of Everything and searching for an "App*.lnk"? I'm curious how this works, particularly if it's more than merely searching for a ...

Coldblackice

Hi, I love this tool, very fast and efficient. I made it my default launcher for the apps links in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs too. It works great except for the app that are set to start as ADMIN: then UAC popup only flash and blink in Windows taskbar instead of being brought t...

Coldblackice

Aha! I opened ProcessMonitor to see what was happening behind the scenes. Sure enough, I found SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) massively interacting with the disk, writing/deleting lots of session data, and frequently. This is what was choking Everything! You were right, void. I was just confuse...

Coldblackice

Thanks for the offset info. What version of Everything are these from? x86 or x64? Any idea what is program might be deleting all those folders? It's 847b x64. How can you see that folders are being deleted? I see it saying "0" subfolders/files being removed. Also, what are these things? I've tried...

Coldblackice

Ah, that makes sense. Good to know - thanks!

Coldblackice

Thanks void/everyone. Apologies on the link + missing info. I've been having this problem on 809b, but recently moved to 851b, hoping it'd fix the issue, however, the issue still persists. What's actually happening with all of these debug entries? Void, what do these thread stack-walks show is happe...

Coldblackice

Good idea, I'll check file system activity the next time it happens and report back, along with the function offsets.

For reference, I'm using v.851b. But this was also happening with 809b (I was hoping the nightly would fix it).

Coldblackice

Currently, if there's a debug window open, if you click the "X" at the top right of the window, it closes Everything as a program vs. just the debugging window. I'll remember next time to use the CTRL-~ shortcut again to hide it that way, but it might be helpful to disassociate exiting the program f...

Coldblackice

Everything is frequently using 60-80% of CPU. When looking at the debugging output, I see hundreds of entries saying "removed 0 subfolders and 0 files from" and then some sort of GUID. Like here: http://lookpic.com/O/i2/548/zwYqnojo.jpeg http://lookpic.com/O/i2/548/zwYqnojo.jpeg I have no idea where...

Coldblackice

I've been having some issues with Everything lately -- using heavy amounts of CPU, the GUI interface not responding (even though Process Monitor shows that it's still indexing alright on the backend), etc. It seems that looking at the debugging output doesn't give enough information in some cases. W...

Coldblackice

Currently, I have to remember to manually exit Everything before doing a system reboot so that it writes the updated Everything.db down to disk. Would it be possible to have Everything do this automatically when it detects the system shutting down or rebooting?

Coldblackice

Is it possible to use the same function for this that happens when we double-click a folder-result? It appears the issue only occurs when passing a command line option to explorer. Please try changing the open path command to open explorer with no parameters: In Everything , from the Tools menu, cl...

Coldblackice

Thanks. Which do you personally use -- administrator or service? Aside from performance differences, which you say there are none, and besides UAC warnings, are there any other particulars of services that might be a pro or con? For example, I know services typically start up before Windows login --...

Coldblackice

I've always had "Launch folder windows in a separate process" disabled. Doing this in other programs doesn't have the problem. For example, in uTorrent, double-clicking to open folders doesn't spawn any additional Explorers, nor does right-clicking and selecting "Open containing folder". What's stra...

Coldblackice

Every time I explore a path/directory from within Everything, it spawns a new Explorer.exe process. Additionally, these new processes don't disappear when I close the folder that was opened. Is it possible to prevent this? I currently have 5 extra Explorer's open right now that were spawned by Every...

If using a Windows administrator account full-time, are there any pros/cons to using Everything as a service vs. run-as administrator?

Coldblackice

I'm trying to wildcard search a folder, but it's not working. For example, if I was looking for PDF files inside a folder named "Dark Knight", but I only remembered the "Knight" part of the folder name, I would try a search for: \*Knight *.pdf When I try this, however, the folder search doesn't wild...
