Where is the "opened by" property?

Where is the "opened by" property?
I can't seem to find it anywhere.

[void]

Right click the result list column header and click Add columns....


Please make sure Everything Properties is selected on the left.
Type in:
open
Select Opened By and click OK:


Example usage:

Thanks, I was looking in options>properties to keep the property on the column list permanently but couldn't find it there.

[void]

This property cannot be indexed.

Everything will periodically update all results when you search for, sort by or display opened-by.

I've opened the column and tried entering opened-by but nothing is happening.

I didn't see it either.
So maybe it's a Win10 thing (or at least > 7)?

[harryray2]

I'm running Win7...

[harryray2]

@therube, did you manage to get this to work?

Thanks

Windows 10 only

Code: Select all

opened-by:
is-open:

Search for files opened by the specified process name.

Requires Windows 10 or later.

Example:
opened-by:WINWORD.exe
opened-by:explorer.exe

Since it's a 10 thing...

OpenedFilesView - View opened/locked files in your system (sharing violation issues)
ProcessActivityView - creates a summary of all files and folders that the selected process tries to access.
Process Hacker or Process Explorer.

Ah! thanks, look like I'll be going without this particular function.

@therube, thank you, got all of those..

What makes this a Windows 10 thing, when Nir's OpenedFilesView can access this list in Windows 7? Presumably using the same API?
