Finally!

After so many years, I will finally be able to free myself definitively from Everything (although I fear I have become completely addicted to it...

)

When I think about a Service I always think about something that can run even independently from the user being logged in or not. Is this the case? If not, can we achieve something like that? Thank you.

maxfactor

please help a little bit further

i don't want to disable the alpha instance, neither i don't want to loose features nor i know what that exactly means

where do i catch the instance name pls ? on the top of the everything's window I can see "Everything (1.5a) 1.5.0.1383a (x64)"

is that the ...

does it work with the portable version of Everything? in my case it does not show nothing

Regarding Organize Bookmarks I world like to suggest the following features

Skip duplicates when importing
Add a description field
Search inside the Search column as well

What about having Everything keeping track of virtual tags (instead of modifying the real ones, as per void todilist).

Let's say there's a Tags section in the Settings: you write down the tags you need.

Then from Everything you right click a file/folder and select Assign tags and choice one or ...

So, if I well understand, if I want to have the Everything Server running as a service I have to give up with the GUI. In that case, the Everything Server will run only while the Everything app is actively run by at least one logged user on the server machine, is that right?

maxfactor

It's time to submit the updated one. Stay tuned

maxfactor

Davvero niente niente male!!! Complimenti.

My actual configuration, be aware that it is best used with menu folders (close Everything then edit Everything.ini: search for "menu_folders"; if found be sure that it is set as menu_folders=1 else insert the whole new entry; modify the file Bookmarks.csv; start Everything again, enjoy menu)

Probably your question is about an uncommon case.

I think that usually on the same computer the operating system assign a different removable drive letter to each removable device.

It is uncommon that on the same system you mount for example a pendrive as F: then you detach it and insert a new one ...

maxfactor

Thank you, integrated with mine (and added menu folder structure)

Hi all,

is there a place where one can find many useful bookmarks example?

This is my Bookmarks.csv on ET 1.4.1.877... it need menu folder activation for a better reading.
Thanks :) [/size]

Once a time I asked David for a similar question (just for removable hardware, not for remote drives)

Q:

I have an usb pen FAT32 formatted, so I add it to Everything as a folder.
Sometimes, if there are already other usb drive attached, that pen get a different drive letter.

Do you think that ...

maxfactor

Thank you dear, not so bad a GUI showing information already stored somewhere into Windows.

Anyway, implementing it into Everything could be even more powerful and more confortable (having one interface only).
For example you could see recently deleted files + realtime refresh + filtering.

Thanks for TODOing...

These are (some) files I own

Aggiornamento Asset T3.xlsx
Aggiornamento Asset T4.xlsx
Aggiornamento Asset T5.xlsx

and this is a useful-to-me search example:

regex:"(?P<N1>Aggiornamento asset )(?P<N2>T[0-9]+)(?P<N3>.*)"

Based on your assumptions, a search for those ...

Is there a way to invoke a named group (?P=name) to be used as the parameter for the content: function?

When I export results into a file list then filesize is missing (empty field).
If I create a file list through editor (add folder) then filesize is available.

It is a bug or am I missing something?

EDIT: UHM... I found it... I was missing Read Extended Information step...

Thanks

maxfactor

Ok, ok, look at this (I want you know that I studied and put into practice some of your previous teachings)

Search for M: (to get an exhaustive list of all files in volume M:)
Export (to file list)
Open File List (to work only on items contained in M:)

maxfactor

Uhm... I was wrong... I forget to mention that I don't know the file name in advance

#part1
I just want to find what filenames have the same name but a different extension (last .xxx part)
Or at least I know two extensions (mp4 and avi) and I want to get as above.

#part2
Moreover, it seems I can ...

maxfactor

Great!

It seems it is really the way to go! I was losing hope of having the recent-change feature working as I would expect.

Thank you so much!

maxfactor

Thank you David.

Last time the debug was showing a STREAM_CHANGE as the cause of the rc status. Now that I can get rid of them thanks to the filter that you have implemented, I have found this

USN_RECORD 18721849632, FLAGS 00002020, PARENT FRN 00010000000003a8, FRN 21aa000000000761, reason OBJECT ...

You are simply great. Every time I have asked something... you have always been one step ahead. Thank you for your availability and courtesy.

At the moment I am NOT indexing "date created", and so it is shown as an empty field for every unavailable file.

In that way when I search for

maxfactor

but in the

Options -> Indexes -> NTFS under Local NTFS volumes:

I can see that my external USB HDD drive is shown as

Offline Disk (M:)

so in some way Everything know that every file/folder whose path begin with M: is not available... so a function as offline: could easily return offline items ...

Hi all,

I have had a long mail exchange with @void and finally he has found the reason for files becoming "rc:" just opening them (STREAM_CHANGE).

EDIT: in my case, it seems it is something related with the Dropbox usage.

Has anyone the same behavior?

@void : can we disable STREAM_CHANGE check ...

maxfactor

Can we only search for online or offline files ?

Can we have offline files grayed in some way (so that you immediately distinguish them) ?

Thanks

maxfactor

Ok... I have just verified what you mean: it will create subfolders. In my case I am very lucky anyway, no / in "bookmarks" title, but why do you speak about / in "filters" name also ? Their list is not affected, isn't it? Thanks

maxfactor

Great, it seems to work very fine... I will test it more I can.
Thanks

maxfactor

Thanks to you.
If possible let the user choice how long time he wants deleted files be mantained in the database.
Regards.

maxfactor

I have a lot of bookmarks, and the menu list is very long to scroll every time.
Could you let organize them into folders so that its length will be drastically reduced?
Thanks

maxfactor

Wow, thanks, I hadn't noticed it! Works great. Thanks.

maxfactor

Thanks to you for always being very kind

maxfactor

Please could you not delete commented lines in the everything.ini file?

Thanks

maxfactor

Hi,

is there the possibility to find existing filenames having the same name but different extensions (for example MyMovie.avi and MyMovie.mp4)?

Thanks

maxfactor

I think that because Everything database contains information about specific files/folders I am particularly interested it could also be very useful in keeping track of what of them have been recently deleted (for example when you move a file instead of copying it, or a synchronization-software ...
