Development is paused because Microsoft has black listed my code signing certificate.

I am trying to work out why and what to do next.

oh my god what the heck....why?

anmac1789

Hi void, not sure if your reading this, but has development slowed or something ? Also, this software is the best, I can't believe how deeply useful this is for my everyday life. Thank you from my heart =D lol

oh god i hope this project doesn't get discontinued because that would mean the final end of me to having to sort through all these files.. How much donation on average does he require to come out with the beta and subsequent v1.6, v1.7 etc. ?

so I see that calculating the date and time difference between UTC and local file time still isn't fully complete, have a look at this screenshot:

the time difference should be either -4 or -5 hours even if 24 hours time is being used. But everything is using literal 24 hour time ...

is there a way to control how many digits after seconds to display ? from HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSS to something like HH:mm:ss.SS together with the date as well ? not just changing the time_format field, but also when using something like find-dupes:column1 with custom columns using 2 milliseconds digits ...

the inconsistency is really concerning, I have noticed that as well, where the parent folders timestamps doesn't change but the subfolder and the files within them changes, and when one of the files changes, the subfolders doesn't change and the timestamp of the parent folder changes. This is the ...

Does formatfiletime($dm:) or formatfiletime($date-taken:) have a resolution I can choose ? for example display both date and time where time is to the seconds only and not milliseconds? Is there any other syntax such as formatduration() to display the date along with the time ?

countif function doesnt work with custom columns. Was this discontinued ?

just saw this thread also started by me lol viewtopic.php?p=51885&hilit=countif#p51885

OK, Will we ever get countif() to work in everything or is this just not possible ?

Other way around, the clock goes back one hour on Nov 3 2024.
There's overlapping times for 1am and 2am. (before DST ends and after DST ends)
You can have some files between 1am and 2am that are in DST and some files between 1am and 2am that are not in DST.

Tools -> Options -> Keyboard -> File | Copy Column Value

Use Left + Right arrow key to focus the custom column cell.

Create a bookmark with the following search:
/copy $column1:
where $column1: is custom column 1.
Bind a keyboard shortcut.

Thank you

is there a keyboard shortcut for copying a custom column property? for example clicking on a filename, then going up into file --> copy property --> column 1. But can I make this into a shortcut ?

It stays the same because 2:16:01 goes backwards to 1:16:01

2am to 3am doesn't exists.
Windows always shifts non-existing times backwards.

So if the 2 AM-3 AM hour doesn't exist (2:00 AM-2:59 AM) then any picture taken at or before 1:59 AM on Nov 3, 2024, will not have their hour change when ...

These results look fine, back to the previous results, with your red and yellow arrows.
What search did you use?
I see now that the results are inverted.
I am guessing the two results shown, modified on the 2024-11-03T1:40 and 2024-11-03T1:16 are within your search range.

The Everything thumbnail cache can grow rather large.
Everything only frees thumbnail cache when you close the window/tab.

The default thumbnail size is 256x256. (can be set with thumbnail_load_size -see above)
The bit depth is 24bits.
Each thumbnail is 200KB.

5000 thumbnails = 1GB of RAM.

void wrote: Wed Nov 27, 2024 9:35 am Thank you for the statistics.

You are indexing 27 million files.
Everything is using 2.4 GB of RAM for the database.
Any other RAM usage is from the UI and most likely thumbnails.

Why are thumbnails causing so much CPU usage ? arent thumbnails just compressed lesser quality images?

thank you void

Arm programs cannot run on x64/x86 processors.

Are you asking if ARM processors are faster than x86/x64 processors?

Everything is going to be limited by RAM performance, not CPU performance.
Everything uses unaligned memory to reduce the amount of RAM required.
Unaligned memory access may have ...

anmac1789

The spaces around the OR statement (" | ") are crucial. Otherwise the OR will be seen as part of the first regex (regex "eats" | )
Add file: to the query, like the original.
Better to disable all search modifiers, in this case Ignore Punctuation and Ignore Whitespace

Can date and time inequalities be used ? for example, find all the picture files with dates between:

With this method you can find matching sizes (same or different filename) in a specific location.

all this does is just list the files in the current search window and then combine it with a second size list.

To find files/folders where media-created: is not empty, include the following in your search:

media-created:

Alternatively, Everything has an unknown keyword.
unknown will match the empty value.

media-created:!=unknown

do you mean to use it as $media-created ...

anmac1789

How do I use the <> which means not for a search parameter ? for example find all files/folders where media-created:<> which is supposed to mean empty/has no data etc..
