i need to click the "Force Rebuild" to get the the NTFS removable volumes contents

The contents of D: E do not show at all, or the contents is there, only not for new changes?

Not sure how to check/enable Monitor for said volumes

In the screenshot you've posted, only down lower is 'Monitor' & we can't see that part

.

but it will work ? Then I will ty again as administrator

In general, you do NOT want to use "as administrator".

I tried to add in file list's <add> button thus I thought it's registered at my default index db

Adding an .efu that way adds that .efu files' data to your .db - along with any ...

you don't need the Service, necessarily.

After that, not sure of limitations of not using it that way, but see what you can get out of it.
Maybe even if you set up Folder Indexes or something like that that you do have access to...

I have the service disabled

I'll suspect that then is the cause.
And Console is simply not finding the "pipe" (which is needed for IPC communication with the service) & so reports as much.

Do you use multiple -instances?

In Everything.ini, there a few pipes.
A peace pipe, a smoke pipe, & conduit pipes

.

I take it that these are the default values:

Code: Select all

ipc_pipe=1
ipc_pipe_count=8
service_pipe_name=

Do you show the same?
(And other then that ?)

Is Monitor enabled for said volumes?

Are D: & E: the removable drives?

Do you alternate physical removable drives that are using (borrowing) the same drive letter?
As in, is one time your Samsung E:, & the next time your Kingston is E:?

Are you running Everything "as Administrator"?

An .efu is simply a file.
So unless you do something to remove it, it should persist.

So "my search" is your Bookmark?

Did you add a colon (:) to the Bookmark name (& maybe quotes around it if it includes spaces ?) ?

Something like this, where blabla: is a Bookmark, works here (Everything 1.5 in case that matters):

es.exe blabla: -export-csv out.csv

Search | Match Path

Don't know, but maybe you can set up a hotkey to toggle it in case you don't want it, always on?

Would

do it, be sufficient?

using the command line for export

So just what have you tried, & what happened with those attempts?

Well, how did the three get there?

When you open Everything, by default, a single window opens.

What happens after that, you control.

You want another windows, Ctrl+N - new window
You want another tab, Ctrl+T - new tab (in existing window)

You want an entirely different instance , you use the ...

I'm confused.

Windows, Tabs, & -instances.

So you're wanting, which, tabs or windows?

And then on top of that, you're wanting different Instances (-instance xyz) to open in the same, into a singular Window?

IMO, -instances should be in separate windows, not co-mingled into a singular window.
Do ...

does Everything automatically check for / warn of duplicated ntfs_volume_serial_number ?
or duplicatd ntfs_volume_guids ?

if not, should it?

About how many files in your .db?

Before you go to shut down, do you close Everything first, or do you simply tell the computer to shut down & expect it to close any programs that you might have open?

(I wouldn't think it to be normal, particularly, but I don't shut down, only sleep.)

What OS?

I wasn't looking for a name length reduction particularly, but rather to see if a Short File Name version of the file ended up being created.

So if you had

& when you copied the file, it ended up as an 8.3 (SFN),
"THISIS01~.TXT"

how to add everything as a search engine in firefox?

And in Everything 1.5 Alpha, you can use the

(Set your search to clipboard: & anything copied to clipboard will be searched for.)

It could be ? that Everything is sending a SFN.
So the file could be there, only you're not seeing it, cause you're looking for a LFN where the copy was named as a SFN.

(I wouldn't particularly expect that, but might be possible.)

What version of Everything?

Anything peculiar, particular with the particular files, file locations, that it does not copy?
(Like file name length?)

Might it be a permissions issue?

From my early days I have believed that a simple search string examines the Full path, But that is not so; only if "path:" is stated explicitly or implicitly (by a preface "\") will a simple string be applied to a file or a path.

Or, if Search | Match Path , is enabled.
(On my end, I almost ...

What version of Everything?

Is there a reason you wouldn't want Everything to simply reindex the files on the new PC?

Are you wanting to be able to read the data from the old PC - as it was, on the new?

Let me make sure I'm understanding...

-when they are gone I reimport (restore) them from the file (Bookmarks.csv) I have on my pc

So you copy a back copy of Bookmarks.csv into your Everything "profile" directory?

-they are then in place, until the next time they vanish

When they vanish from ...

To note, you'd need Everything 1.5 Alpha for that.

Curious. How high is high?

Backup your Everything.db.
Back it up multiple times, saved to different places (can't hurt).
(Can't hurt to back up you entire Everything "profile".)

You can open that .db with the -read-only switch.
You can even open that in a different, separate ...

Might you be able to do that already?
Add a "complete path", then simply sort by Full Path column?

Full Path

or similar.

(I'll note that while -save-db does update Everything.db, to disk, it does not first save the existing to .backup.db.
.backup.db is left unchanged [till you Quit].)

It's the latter

You have Picture enabled.
So unless you have .doc association to a Picture, you're not going to find it.

You can also include path: in your search (or enable Match Path in Options [which seems to be overly broad, for some]).

whatfaq.doc path:under

Well, Everything does do that already, actually.
But only for indexed Properties. In a global "sidecar" (if you will), Everything-15.db.

Now, if you could have a searchable, displayable "blob" Property that stored blobs of data, in .db or in .blob...

I'm not following at all?
"Originally deleted" vs. "deleted in the program" ?

If you're talking about hard vs soft deletes (to $Recycle.Bin), I imagine there might be a setting for that?

(I have no idea about above, & I don't use the Folders [tree {nor do I mix}], but it did bring about a thought...

If there were an option to set the Folders to the Search, such that only Folders that the Search found would display, might do what you're after.

As it is, Folders display all folders ...

A kind of (long) interesting read.

Just noting if that is the case, that W/E also causes the same issue, then it most likely is not an Everything issue, per se.

i wonder what i was doing?
i must have used /, rather then, Ctrl+F

Ctrl+F does allow paste

if you use /,
it appears that even though QF opens,
focus is not in the QF search box

ah, sure enough ...

RFE:

Ability to Paste with keyboard shortcut into the Quick Find dialog box,
Ctrl+V &/or Shift+INS

As it is, the only way to do it is to use the context-menu, Paste

Even if not in the GUI, you can also set them via the searchbar:

/context_menu_omit_results=1

/context_menu_omit_results=0

You'd have to know the item name, & what values it accepts, 1 generally being enabled, 0 disabled.
But add them together, throw in the /, & you've got it.
