I mark 10000 files of 1-29 seconds each.

MediaInfo does not show how many minutes or hours in total.

Calculate manually anyway no one will want, too much work, and it is not difficult to make mistakes!

Debugger

But where are the simple options/funcions/on/off, without having to type annoying commands/queries like “path-part:” etc.?

Searching in Everything is more complicated than in MasterSeeker.

What I can find very easily and quickly in MasterSeeker always returns 0 results in Everything.... And in Ewverytng I am completely confused by the stupid queries I have to type in to find something.

For example, it doesn't ...

Debugger

But I want to combine multiple functions at the same time.

1. sort by Randomize

2. special regular expressions and queries as in Everything

so this will not work in TotalCommander

Debugger

How do I sort by the numbers in the file name rather than by the letters?

E.g.

abc 126.mp4

jhgf 120.mp4

I use 1.5.1383a and when I select a lot of files on the list, how can I show the total time of all the videos? I need this when I want to combine many small video files when I merge a longer video.

After selecting multiple .mp4 (video) files, how do I show the duration (minutes, seconds) etc. in combination?

How to find multiple paths simultaneously to subfolders, many different drives and letters (c:\; X:; Z:\;) with exclusion of some subfolder names. It seems to me that this is too complicated for me, because there would have to be a very long, complicated regex, I can't write one. So how do I select ...

Querying...

Query order (result) from left to right

I see many sorting options...
But which one sorts by Query order?
Currently sorts by incremental number

Debugger

These are the “ID-” identifiers in the names an the beginning of each .mp3 file

Since I don't know Chinese, and Chinese is name it uses these identifiers.

But it doesn't matter because everything doesn't sort by query order.

E.g. I can't create a Tracklist for music by order because it doesn't ...

How to sort the results by order name?

I think my questions are specific, from what I've noticed required accoutrements in this particular tool “Everything” are still required “quotes” in ReGexand writing terms “regex:” instead of enabling this option.

@void - Work: regex:"..."

Debugger

You can use bookmarks and macros.
No need to enter complex searches over and over again.

I'm not a programmer, I don't write macros, I'm an ordinary user, not an expert. Just want to find the size of the file, but did not work "size:" with regular expressions.

Macros don't make sense anyway ...

Debugger

I don't like that I have to enter complex queries all the time, it's awful, and on top of that it still doesn't work! E.g.

My frustrations with regular expressions and I would like to try to explain why difficulties may arise and what the limitations and possibilities are for their use.
Why do regexes have limitations?

Regular expressions are a powerful tool, but their performance is limited by specific rules that ...

I have now found this solution.

I give all the names in lines from multiple paths, first extracting the titles and what's behind the initial parenthesis, then I select the duplicates, and paste the result into everything with a path where there might be duplicates and it finds.

Debugger

I have multiple file paths. But it is supposed to compare only partial matches in file name strings e.g.

But Everything does not support the search for more than one ‘partial name’ .

Or a problem with the number of characters because it is not displayed:

97 571 characters

I am trying yet another method of searching by duplicate names (duplicate strings), but my script is not returning any duplicates ...

How do I delete 600 files by ‘partial filenames’?

I copied the 600 names on separate lines and added them to Everything - doesn't work!

So, I will never, ever succeed in finding and removing duplicates! This is a failure! Why can't any tools do this, I don't want to forever have duplicates on my ...

Debugger

This doesn't work properly, it doesn't find duplicates by specific folders, and it doesn't exclude artist 2 in brackets.

Artist and title are not enough information, as a title can have countless remixes by other artists of a song.

I don't have a single song with a single title, but they all have ...

Debugger

I have tried all the TOP tools on the internet, it only takes one character to not compare anything correctly from a file, all the tools that people propose are completely useless, no matter what method I use, it cannot find just what needs to be removed.

Everything cannot sort by name (considering ...

Debugger

Example duplicate files

H:\Low\叶一茜 - 风浪(衍 Electro Mix国语女).mp3
h:\hIGH\99659-叶一茜 - 风浪(衍 Electro remix)[music.].mp3

So it should remove Path Low, because the files are the same just that in Low, they have poorer quality.

No tool detects such duplicates:

I have tried various BEST OF BEST tools to delete similar mp3 files. But each time with lamentable results. Countless python scripts, all sorts of programs. But I can never properly find and remove duplicates.

The path must be written in quotation marks.

Debugger

It just doesn't work if I try to combine many different expressions together.
If single expressions it will work. Never, ever does a search work if it uses interleaved combinations of expressions!
So since I've been using Everything (about 10 years, I think) I've only had to sort by date!
There are ...

How to handle line pasting with regex?
It doesn't work for me, for example.
WORK
<name1|name2|name3>

NOT WORK
<name1|name2|name3> .*djh.*1mix.*a1000dj.*

OR NOT WORK
The thing is that this phrase all doesn't work when I type the path to a file folder for example.
<name1|name2|name3> G:\folder name

Debugger

How do I set the search to show by the order of the pasted text?
E.g..
I select text (on separate lines) and paste into Everything it displays in a mixed (not in order) way.
Is it possible to set according to the order of the separator?

This only works when you "copy", but it still highlights the bracket in Everything, and in all text editors it still highlights the bracket, and I have no idea how to solve this problem. I'm only interested in the name, without that unwanted bracket.

I have a problem with a regular expression. It should only match the artist name in parentheses, and it matches the name with the first parenthesis.

Yes with me indexing is even at 1Gb/s, but it still needs at least 30 seconds before you can fast type any phrase into the search box. And more specifically: (more than 1 character!)

Yes, everything 1.5 works OK after you launch it, but you have to wait a while before you want to immediately type something into the search bar.

Probably a bug, although this problem occurred quite often and in an older version.

Oops. Sorry. I made a mistake!
It works correctly. I didn't enter the artist correctly!

It doesn't work very correctly for most multiple names. I will send you privately the full pattern of names.

That is an expected match.
You will need to improve your regex pattern.

For example:

" - " = match space dash space (use double quotes to escape spaces)
(Time|Sweet) = match Time or Sweet
(" - "|\() = match space ...

Now it searches, but the results are incorrect/VERY BAD, for example.

DjBex WRONG ARTIST NAME
