Using Everything filters in Total Commander

[sk2107]

Hello,

Can I use Everything filters as it is in Total Commander's search?

Best regards

Please try including the following in your search:

filter:<filter name>

For example:

filter:"audio"

filter:


-or-


Please try including the filter macro in your search:

audio:

Sorry but it did not work for me. I don't know if I have to do extra settings.

The syntax to use in Total Commander is one of the following:


ev: filter:"audio"
ed: filter:"audio"


For this to work, you need
- Everything 1.5 (1.4 does not support filters)
- Either configure TC to use a specific Everything instance or reconfigure Everything 1.5 to use no instance

@tuska has written a comprehensive tutorial on the several ways to make Everything and TC work together.

Thank you, that worked.
But please correct me if I am wrong that I should prepare and save the filter in Everything and use this filter in Total commander; for example I want to search for Today's files, it will be dm:Today and this can not be used directly in Total commander right?


One more question: what ed: in ed filter:"audio" exactly do?


Best Reagrds and thank for the valuable information.

ed: Use Everything Search and limit the results to the currently active folder (=the Search in: field)
ev: Use Everything Search globally (without folder restriction)

for example I want to search for Today's files, it will be dm:Today and this can not be used directly in Total commander right?

dm: is a search function, not a filter. search functions and -modifiers can be used anyway, regardless the Everything version.

In TC, use the following syntax for that:

ev: dm:today
