This secondary sort is no longer consider when showing dupe lines.

You will need to force a rebuild to pickup the correct size and dates.
You can force a rebuild from Tools -> Options -> Indexes -> Force Rebuild, or Tools -> Options -> NTFS -> volume -> Right click -> Reindex

I'll look into using the dupe properties instead of the current sort for the dupe lines.

"dupe_lines" should be added only to differentiate each dupe group.

My use case:
- find files dupes on size
- for each dupe group (same size file), sort them by ext or path, so I can easily tell which one ...

bit

I want to find files of dupe ext and then sort by path in each dupe group.

Code: Select all

file: z: dupe:ext   sort:ext;path

However the addtional sort will break dupe_lines. It now adds lines on all rows.

Looks like a bug introduced in recent versions.

This is a bug.

bit

Everything 1.5.0.1366a will now only assign custom columns when they are visible, you perform a search on a custom column or sort by a custom column.

Previously, Everything would assign custom column values on search.

when finding dupes a faster hash algorithm is preferred.
we have dupe:size;sha256 , but it's a bit slow. (also sha1/md5/sha512)
I found a better hash algorithm there for non-cryptographic use, which fit the need for fastly dedupe files.

regex:"dl\\" is optimized to a subpath ending with dl search.

1) Can you give a list of conditions and methods on when and how the regex optimization applies?
