Bug report: Everything is failing to load properties found across two CSV file list

Post by Ralf_Reddings »

This is an issue that has been happening with many csv files. For isolating the issue, I have isolated the problem down to two csv files. These files are loaded into Everything via the "File list" section of the Indexes section, found in the Options window.

The custom columns the csvs load there data into are defined via the settings ini file:

Code: Select all

custom_property_0=Notes
custom_property_1=Syntax
custom_property_2=CMD
custom_property_3=
custom_property_4=
custom_property_5=

Now as for the issue itself. It occurs when I have everything open, and I try to edit one of the two csv files, Everything reflects the changes, the "CMD" columns data for the file that was not edited disappears. If I then go back, and edit the other file whose "CMD" column data disappeared from Everything, Everything repopulates its CMD column but now the other files "CMD" column data disappears. Vice versa and so on.

am on
1.5.0.1391a


If I quit and reload Everything from scratch all columns are working as expected.

I have record a small video to better explain this issue.

Thank you for the issue report Ralf_Reddings,

Sorry for the delay in my reply.
I am trying to solve this issue...
However, I haven't had any luck with reproducing the issue my end..

Could you please upload a debug log:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Start Debug Logging....
  • Modify file1.csv outside of Everything.
  • Wait for Everything to pickup the change and reindex.
  • Modify file2.csv outside of Everything.
  • Wait for Everything to pickup the change and reindex.
  • From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Stop Debug Logging....
    ---This will open your %TEMP%\Everything Debug Log.txt in Notepad.
  • Could you upload this file in a bug report.


I have found one issue with using custom properties.
You will need to restart Everything after changing a custom property name.
