Refreshing
Is it possible to temporarily stop everything refreshing so that the results can be read easier?

Re: Refreshing
If I do a search on a very active directory (firefox portable) the results are difficult to read as the window is constantly refreshing making it difficult to look at the results.

Re: Refreshing
Btw, I do realise that I can disable the monitor changes option but I would just like to disable the refresh rate occasionally without changing the options every time

Re: Refreshing
I looked through all the options and I can't find anything to stop or slow down the display refreshing on a 'per use' basis. the monitor changes option seems to be the only way...

Re: Refreshing
I've added the ini option monitor_update_delay to Everything 1.4.1.817b.
To change the frequency in which Everything updates, type in the following search and press ENTER:
/monitor_update_delay=x
Where x is the millisecond delay between updates.
The default is 1000.
For example, to change the delay between updates to 10 seconds:
/monitor_update_delay=10000

Re: Refreshing
Thanks, that will certainly help but is it possible to include a way to temporarily freeze the monitor updates from the main window rather than permanently altering the update delay?

Re: Refreshing
For example...a lot of nirsoft utilities have a 'pause auto refresh option' in the menu.

Something along these lines possibly?

Re: Refreshing
In my C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs\ folder I have a file "Microsoft-Windows-Sysmon%4Operational.evtx" Everything is picking up the name but instead of reporting the size as 50,224 kb it showing the size as 68kb.
If I copy the file to my desktop everything is reporting the size of the file correctly....
Got me baffled!! :0) Any ideas.
Not really a major problem but I'm wondering if this is happening elsewhere as well

Re: Refreshing
Is the file open? Check with process explorer.
The size in Everything will only update when all handles to the file are closed.

Re: Refreshing
It's a log file for sysmon...all the other log files in the folder seem to be OK,
Apologies, I posted it on this thread by accident.
Btw, any thoughts on the idea about including pause in the menu?

It will probably just be a / search command to pause and resume the monitors for now, I'm considering a "Index" menu for a future release with pause/resume and a delay option, along with some other indexing commands.

Re: Refreshing
That's brilliant. Thank you so much, a menu item for pause and refresh rate would be incredibly useful.

Re: Refreshing
Added /monitor_pause and /monitor_resume search commands to Everything 1.4.1.820b or later.
These commands will eventually be added to an "Indexes" menu.
To pause all updating of the indexes:
Any background folder rescans are discarded. Everything also disconnects from the Everything service and reconnects when you call /monitor_resume (might be useful for reconnecting to the Everything service if it was stopped and restarted, I'll add detection for this in a future release).
The pause state will continue between Everything sessions.
The ini setting monitor_pause can also be used to control this feature.
You can set monitor_pause=1 in the Everything.ini before starting Everything to avoid a lengthy update and then Enter the search for /monitor_resume when you are ready to update your indexes.
These commands will eventually be added to an "Indexes" menu.
To pause all updating of the indexes:
- In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
/monitor_pause - "Monitors paused." should briefly be displayed in the status bar.
- In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
/monitor_resume - "Monitors resumed." should briefly be displayed in the status bar.

Re: Refreshing
Is there any way to get this to work as a filter item?
I often use just my mouse so is it possible, rather than to hit enter on the keyboard, to do it with a mouse click?

Re: Refreshing
I've put this on my TODO list, it might be useful to set monitor pause for the home search, or filter search.Is there any way to get this to work as a filter item?
A keyboard shortcut is also on my TODO list.

Re: Refreshing
Would it be possible to put in an 'enter' button, something like this (as in Firefox)? So as to save hitting enter on the keyboard.

Re: Refreshing
Yes, I plan to add an optional execute search button to the right of the search edit in Everything 1.5.
