Hello -

I am trying to search for and list all the .jpg file names that reside within .zip archives.

I have tried "containerfilenames:.jpg", but this only lists the .zip filenames themselves, that have .jpgs within them. Not the names of the actual .jpg files within the archive.

Edit: Ahh, I see ...

Thank you

Hello, I have several drives that I don't always keep plugged in. I have the "remove offline volumes" option checked, because I don't want to see this data when doing a search and the drive is unplugged.

But when I plug them back in, it has to do a full re-index of the drive every time. I have some ...

Everything 1.5.0.1364a improves monitoring NTFS volumes.

Everything will now use OpenFileByID to read changes to files instead of reading directly from the NTFS MFT.

Everything should now update instantly.

The OpenFileByID API call was broken on Windows 10.
Using this API would cause Windows ...

Hello void, would it be possible to ignore the "!" exclamation as well? When I add this to the regex it no longer lets me paste anything because it is the NOT character. Is it possible to still keep this as the NOT character, but ignore it within the names of files when doing a search?

JTCGiants56

To paste without punctuation:

Press Ctrl + Shift + V in the search box.

Right click the Search box and click Paste Without Punctuation.

To ignore punctuation in your filenames and search:

Click the Advanced tab on the left.

JTCGiants56

For example, if I paste something with an "&" or a "/", can I have the search automatically ignore them?

I'm looking into ways to improve this delay..

Defragging might help, but it could be caused by a os file with several hard links.

Sometimes I will rename or delete a file in 1.5, and the file will revert back to the old name, or will stay in the list. If I search the new name or if the file is deleted in 1.4, it will show the updated name or that the file is deleted if I had deleted it. If I wait a bit (sometimes 30+ seconds ...

In everything, I have *.jpg files excluded since they can quickly clog up a search. That's working fine.

My issue is that these excluded files do not contribute to the to the folder size they live in in everything.

JTCGiants56

If I add a folder to exclude, it does not reflect in the results. Even if clearing the search field and re-adding it.

Unchecking index file content, applying, and rechecking it is the only thing that corrects the results for me.
