My guess (maybe wrong) is CurrPorts by NirSoft.

custom_open_commands can be used to add additional context menu commands.

A UI to customize these commands is still on my TODO list.

Hey @void, would it be possible to add a custom command that runs As Administrator, without running Everything itself as Administrator? Things like DISKPART ...

also can you automatically select the first choice of all results or the second choice of all results and delete them?

Click a column header, sort the results according to your desires (ie, Path), and then select the files and press the Delete key, and then the Enter key to confirm. You can ...

Just change (add) the first line in your hosts file to something else, like "localhost" with whatever null IP the rest of your hosts file is using.

Everything 1.5.0.1290a adds #number00: and #number000: for quick zero-padding.

I can't tell you how many total accumulated hours that $number000: (formerly #number000:) has saved me over the past 2 years in the Advanced Rename dialog when naming audio files, and especially audiobooks, I've ...

Experiment with changing the titlebar variable $s to the name of the bookmark instead of the content of the search string, when a bookmark is selected. $s will change next time something is typed into the search bar or another bookmark is selected. I can't envisage a scenario where anyone becomes ...

Everything 1.5a already has Rename Parent. You can attach a hotkey to it, or access it by right-click within the Path column of your results view to find a navigable menu tree of parent folders with options like Rename.

Can OpenFileById be used to improve reading changes within FAT32 and exFAT volumes? I can't find anything saying that this API doesn't work for FAT systems. Indeed, it can be used to access Floppy devices according to MSDN notes.

Everything will still periodically save your database to disk (every day at 4 AM)

Can you avoid scheduling tasks AT 4am (3am, 5am) because everything wants to do their daily routine on that hour. Recommend picking a random minute that doesn't interfere with top-of-the-hour updates, backups ...

Can you link me a spec on 7zip folder hashing, or give me the nutshell version? Is it alphabetical or by size or some combination when multiple files are the same size?

raccoon

Oh, wow, thanks!

I looked and did not find allow_drag_drop in INI Settings. (did a Ctrl+F find on 'drag')

raccoon

Thanks. I'm just trying to make it easier for an old guy who will never use drag-drop, from making fumbling mistakes.

raccoon

Currently, you can drag-drop a selection of file(s) from Everything to other software or within Everything itself.

I'd like to request a setting that disables this dragging behavior, and instead, draws a multi-select rectangle.

Is there anything for image or audio hashing to find files of dissimilar binary content but similar audio/visual content?

If we're still doing color groupings, without using dupe, then I think the sort of any column should behave as expected without weird special-treatment behaviors. If someone wants to use SHA to spot dupes, or to create a pseudo-random ordering, let them. Ordering by size would be bizarre and off ...

If they are on a micro SD card on his phone, I would pop out the micro SD and pop it into a real computer, then dump a copy of it onto a drive. After that, scrub stuff off the SD card like normal (you can use Everything), or just format it. Then buy a 512 gig micro SD.

Otherwise if you're plugging ...

Unfortunately an AHK icon disappears every time I close its process.

That's simple. Don't close the process. As I explained emphatically, all systray icons are in need of a running process. You have absolutely zero alternatives to this immutable fact. Process == Needed; Always. Do no ever close ...

Objects in your SysTray (aka Notifications) must be running processes, so you will need a helper program of some fashion no matter what.

AutoHotkey is fairly decent and well regarded. It's a scripting language, and the software lands a SysTray icon. You can change the icon, and you can specify the ...

Sorry, I guess it's only a feature in Everything 1.5. (and it changed names from Temporary Exclusions to Omit Results during 1.5's development)

I recommend trying Everything 1.5 , as it has been in continual development for 2+ years with some wicked powerful features. I haven't used Everything 1.4 ...

raccoon

Everything 1.4 has something called Temporary Exclusions, and 1.5 calls the same feature Result Omissions. Rather than putting your backup drive in the Index Exclusions, you can put them in the Temporary Exclusions / Omissions. The latter can be toggled on/off at will from the menu, and you can ...

I guess maybe we're thinking about different things. It works fine with %1 formats, if I manually assert the backslash myself. It's just that sometimes Everything will combine a part of a path-part along with part of a file's name-part into %1 instead of as %1\%2. I don't think pathparts and ...

I like to have my scroll bars large so I can see them better. but in everything, I rarely need to see the horizontal scroll bar at all. In my set up I always have allot of columns, spanning of view. Always.

Yes, it's called the Parent column.

Does Windows (7) natively see that, or do you have some program running that provides an interface to that?

It shows up in Windows Explorer naively, and can be added to the Everything index from the Folders section. Right-click the Folders listbox and select Add Custom from the context menu ...

Delete key operations work on any single file, from within Everything. Or multiple files within the same directory.

raccoon

I'm confused though. Why do file operations on single items work fine, but not when multiple items are involved? Does the interface dislike stacking operations from different file paths? It's cherry doing just one item at a time, so I'm wondering if we can automate doing one item at a time... in ...

When indexing a mobile device (via Indexes -> Folders -> Computer\Galaxy A13\SD card\) you cannot interact with these files in many bulk operations.

@void, can we extend path_ellipsis to accept values of 0,1,2,3,4,5,... to indicate how many right-hand paths to be preserved (right of the ellipsis)? Or would this break /path_ellipsis=! toggle? I would use a value of 2 or 3.

See if either of these settings in Everything 1.5 Alpha are useful to you.

/path_ellipsis=1

or

/path_narrow=1

Hot take: There haven't been "file extensions" since the deprecation of 8.3 short filenames. They were treated very differently in FAT filesystems and now modern NTFS et al filesystems are completely agnostic about the idea of file extensions.
