- fix run count increase from double clicking path.
- track folder indexes by volume guid if its a drive letter folder only, eg: folder index of E:\
- large page support https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/librar ... 85%29.aspx
- search option to expand environment variables, eg expand:%APPDATA%
- support shell: folders. See also http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/shell ... l-folders/
- import option for the file list editor.
- sql interface?
- unix/android/mac port.
- option to copy selected to clipboard and start new search?
- vim wildcards?? * = any char except /\ ** = any char.
- preview pane option in bookmarks and home?
- SHGetFileInfo is going to disk for .exe, .lnk and .ico files when SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES is used.
- parent: should search for folders in worker thread so it doesnt block the ui thread (cant cancel old search.)
- reload file list button in Tools -> Options -> File lists so we dont have to monitor changes and can reload filelists manually without having to do a force rebuild.
- when in preview for mp4 / pdf we no longer recieve keydown messages.
- namepartdupe:ext:mp4;avi -find MyMovie.avi and MyMovie.mp4 -What I would love to do is: ext:mp4;avi namepartdupe: where namepartdupe: would find duplicate name parts from the results. -this might have limitations where namepartdupe: would have to be the last search term
- search button when search as you type is disabled.
- dm:-dc:>100minutes etc.. arithmetic on search functions
- Levenshtein distance ld: function set threshold in ini.
- normalization table option? word table[65536]?
- I need to add an update now button when NTFS monitoring is disabled
- ICustomDestinationList for pinned taskbar app? could list search history and run history.? -doesnt work at all on windows 10, seems fine on windows 7. could only add "tasks" couldnt add custom categorys
- details pane, like in explorer, so for thumbnail view we can see size, date modified, path etc each on its own line.
- built in text viewer for windows xp. -future release maybe?
- export options. have two columns like in BM. << add >> remove.. could have size in bytes, formatted size in KB etc..
- add all opened files/folders to the "jump list".
- path suggestions when typing out a absolute path, ie d:\games\... etc
- usn event use some sort of cache for the last item -avoid doing this since we need to update the new date modified.
- add outline color customization
- add border color control for thumbnails to ui options.
- ftp command monitor, send the command, server waits for an update, replies when it gets one, send any other command from the client cancels the monitor.
- add a new translation string for the copyright string, but this time use a variable for the year.
- scroll bar on suggestion list
- make everything filter deletable, if there are no filters, just use the predefined empty everything filter. also make import add duplicated everything filters. -this does simplify things and removes the complex "smart" everything filter
- I will look into adding support for allow the search edit text to be included in the filter, rather than ANDed with it.
- show bookmark keyboard shortcut duplicates in add new shortcut key.
- allow path column as drop targets, drop a file into the specified path. -this could be very dangerous.
- etp highlighting with * escapes like in IPC? -not possible since our search returns the entire list. -we would have to do a SEARCH_HIGHLIGHTED command that returns the entire list as highlighted
- use folders to group bookmarks -temporary ini option to use "menu_folders"
- try to exclude files before we add them to the index. -we could be excluding files at this stage!
- check if aero mode is doing something crazy when we bitblt multiple times, is it syncing each blit?!?, maybe we should have an option to use a huge back buffer and do a single blit? -rewrite renderer so we allocate/draw then entire backbuffer at once.
- when a user types in a absolute path that is not indexed, add it to the temp index?, ie user types \\tv\ which is not indexed, so we grab just the folders in \\tv\, that way we could quickly paste something in \\tv\uploads without it being in the index..
- multiline text for thumbnails
- fonts and colors dialog needs to be larger for italian. -i'm thinking of using double lines for the default radio button, and another line for the custom and selection. This should be easy to implement now, since the options page resizes for the indexes tab.
- I will look at allowing resizing and query in a future release... -need to check is_busy and wait til new_results to do the ui_size / ui_paint, this still doesnt help when scrolling or pressing keys... might need a better approach, will leave as is for now.
- portable file list editor
- everything cgi for existing web servers.
- ctrl + space to auto suggest paths, so we have type d:\mu , ctrl + space would change that to d:\music\, or if multiple options are available, show a list of possible paths. (search must start with a root path), we should do this with the auto indexing of unindexed folders, ie typing in \\tv\ will start indexing \\tv
- locations bar, and should we use check boxes?
- remove ui_listview_select_all, just use ui_select_all
- search Everything from the search box in Windows Explorer? -is this even possible.. need to research this.
- server ideas: host runs own journal for the everything db.
- Store the index root of a file list in a file list comment? and add support for reindex a filelist. -cant use comments in csv files in excel, we could built a list of all the rootmost folders and update from there..
- Remembering the free space is interesting, I'll look into adding that information as a efu file list comment and maybe displaying it in the status bar when a efu file list result is selected.
- force close usn journal entry after detecting attribute change? -need to check if there is any recourse in doing this.
- review offline color -hard to maintain what is offline.
- if language is RTL have a RTL help section under help.
- own delete / rename dialog.
- optimize selection masking so we only check for new selections in the expanded region.
- move ipreviewhandler to its own thread, if possible.
- show the Everything icon in Explorer context menus
- fuzzy:?
- index outlook express attachment filenames -how to display in the UI? c:\emails\anemail.eml:attachmentfilename?
- make content: return no results then run a background thread to find and add the results
- map german b (0x00DF) to ss -we can't do these conversions for performance reasons.
- IShellImageStore for reading thumbs.db on xp? IShellImageFactory (for thumbnails only) on vista and later to use thumbs.db
- if we want thumbnail adornments we must render them ourselfs, windows explorer uses icons (imageres.dll,191-194) to render them.
- close the console with Ctrl + ~ instead of from Everything.
- taskbar integration
- SHCNE_UPDATEDIR, but we should only update the specified dir. -review for future release. -Everything doesn't use this anymore.
- close on execute after clicking run as administrator from the right click context menu.
- more control over position of preview window.
- show history menu if search history is enabled? -review
- listbox right click
- DrawThemeBackground( hTheme, hDC, LVP_LISTITEM, LIS_SELECTED, R1, @R1 ); to draw modern listview selection? use explorer:listview as name
- index filenames in zip files rar files z7 files (.sit files?) with folder indexing.
- folder index table for x64? -this could make folder indexing use 1/3 more memory! -future release / compression
- dont compare pointers in db compare functions, we must check for duplicated filenames and remove them during indexing.
- ShutdownBlockReasonCreate so we have 30 seconds to save to disk.
- option to make sure array allocation is page aligned! VirtualAlloc
- why is (highlighted) in brackets in Fonts and Colors?
- add file list -cant add more than 1000 through open dialog?
- change content:keyboard example - /support/everything/searching/#content_searching
- SHLockShared for IPC
- #error punctuation doesn't find content:ALL_PROCESSOR_GROUPS
- don't split threads up into equal chunks, instead have a CS and get a chunk at a time..
- filelist: does not highlight, next search term is not highlighted: filelist:"Map - Sonic Tails Ending Poses.asm" sonic.tails
- ignore punctuation
- multi-thread indexing
- view -> statistics -reason for last rebuild. -last USN error
- Size on Disk - GetCompressedFileSize File/Product Version - GetFileVersionInfo Width - image width, video width. Height - image height, ideo height Channels - Audio channel count Audio Bit rate - Audio encoding bitrate. Video Bit Rate - Video bitrate Total bit rate - audio + ideo bitrate. audio format - not needed. sample data: 00000055-0000-0010-8000-00aa003989b for mp3. sample rate - audio eg: 44 Khz sample size - audio eg: 16 bit title - audio / video / image subject - image subtitle - audio / video rating - audio / video / image tags - video / image comments - audio / video / image contributing artists - audio album artists - audio album - audio year - audio # - audio track genre - audio length - audio / video authors - images / eml system.calendar? url - .url system.link.urltarget -only works for url (.lnk doesn't work) all other system.link.x data useless.
- *don't close the everything process when closing the debug console, put the debug console in another process and inherit the std output handle.
- -the windows console is perfect for what I want, for the end user we should look at making it easy to enable debug logging, eg: /restart debuglog and making it easy to send this file.
- Run as administrator option opens in background without focus -make the user-run Everything create a hidden window that has the foreground and pass that foreground to the admin Everything
- I like the idea of active_monitor (the monitor that has the current foreground window) / mouse_monitor / mouse_pos and a persistent window
- position setting. -viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6559
- Everything should also use the same behavior as Windows Explorer when displaying prompts to nuke files.
- add a key to delete without the "are you sure prompt" and a perminate delete key with no prompt.
- we need to reopen volumes using networked Read directory change handles when starting up and when the remote volume is not ready, otherwise we never watch changes.
- when monitor changes is disabled, filling the usn journal is causing a rebuild. -test with chagning attributes for all files
- crash when clearing search history now when a UI had at least one search history item in use.
- Each time I connect a vhd folder as a drive I need to go to Opions and toggle "Automatically include new removable volumes" or "...fixed volumes" in the ReFS menu in order to get the volume scanned.
- what happen to *.* = * ini option? XYZ* =/= XYZ*.*
- add "To add a NAS share to your Everything index" to FAQ
- _db_fileinfo_cache_t objects should be allocated with obstacks.
- "aquot" without quotes had replaced my audio filter macro
- db_find_nearest_string_match_result optimization
- *printf("\x1b[33;43Yellow on Blue\x1b[0\n"); http://ascii-table.com/ansi-escape-sequences.php -not using because we can't terminate/debug parent process
- count:10 results are sorted upside down.
- /reindex is losing all subfolders?!? parents:2 no results when there was before the /reindex command issued. -broke pointer pools
- search for boxed correct press enter to save search history, search for *.avi press alt left to go back, it does not select boxed correct.

- Emulate the Windows Search API, or provide a host for it, apparently Microsoft Office uses it.
- "Include in database" should be "Include in index" -localization
- Setup an Everything policy to prevent users from changing certain settings in the options window. -need to be able to prevent users from changing which files are indexed in a corperate environment. -check what I did in 1.4 with allow_index_change I need to add this to 1.5
- installer and Everything.exe from command line allow -add-folder-index \\server\share etc.
- statistics page - show ini load times / startup times.
- Ctrl + K should focus the search bar and clear it, like all browsers Ctrl + K focuses the address bar (search bar for firefox) and clears it. -rather than clear, select all like firefox.
- Ctrl + E should focus search bar like all browsers -maybe focus secondary search bar?
- *add APNG meta data support -don't add .apng because that is not a supported file name extension, apng piggy packs .png.
- restore previous session (support multiple windows) and allow user to open search history in existing window or new window.
- hex editor preview for unkownn file types?
- remove ctrl + t for always on top and add tabs.
- add a keyboard command to focus the filter bar.
- add monitor-pause to command line help.
- cancel preview when listview focus changes, useful to abort loading really large images
- delay in milliseconds after keystroke to start search ini option.
- *ScriptStringOut -we can't control highlighting color -check and see if we can implement similar functionality.
- cancel query should have OK and CANCEL buttons
- Shortcut key to paste in results parent folder.
- If the user never closes the Everything search window, search history will never be saved to disk, on power failure search history is lost. we should save immediately after adding history with a delay, so the first change is saved to disk instantly, the next one will be delayed.. say 5 minutes.
- make the edit filter dialog resizable, so user can resize to see all the extensions. save the position and dimensions. apply to other dialog windows too
- remove dialogs from command line options that exit immediately, so we don't break silent installs. use return error codes. review help dialog, maybe print to the console window?
- make sure all RLE have a PDF and also end with a RLM, for example <RLE>left to right text<PDF><RLM>
- don't round up for size: for example: a file that is 100 bytes does not match size:<1kb
- Show the parent folders context menu as a submenu in a file/folder result context menu. or add the option to right click in the path column.
- C:\Folder\Folder RightClick > Copy Folder -I would prefer: RightClick > Copy Location -change copy path to copy folder location or just location.
- multifile rename -need more support for Relative Paths, like: \..\..\..\filename
- change "path" to "folder location" to match Explorer (column can just be "folder")
- "Full path and filename" should be "fully qualified file name"
- add a customizable string so the user can specify the "x objects selected" format when 2 or more objects are selected. -2 of X objects selected, Size: 12 MB -$t for total size? -$s for number of selected items -$r for number of results. -and another customizable string for 0 objects selected
- round up auto size format, eg size in result list is 223KB (KB size format) when size in status bar is 222KB (auto size format)
- strong LTR and strong RTL in status bar part is breaking reading order in RTL -see DEBUG_FIXME in _ui_status_part_add
- path length column
- make sure Everything rescans a volume when it has been decrypted. (VHD drive that is locked using Bitlocker.)
- tree view should be customizable ? could have filters or custom paths, or is better to have a filter pane? with check boxes?
- sdk function to get number of subfolders and/or subfiles Everything_GetSubFolderCountByFilename()..
- Add the option to show selection checkboxes in the result list
- put name option on contacts page -above email
- config ini to override settings in the same location as your Everything.exe, allow admins to override settings an import.ini in %APPDATA%\Everything that is loaded and deleted and appended to the user Everything.ini
- add es: dropdown everything search from open/save dialog boxes?
- i need a command line option to override the appdata path. so we can store history.csv files in a different folder.
- when deleting sort by path descending so subfolders are deleted first, that way when we delete both c:\prova and c:\prova\prova2, the subfolder prova2 is deleted first, then c:\prova, otherwise c:\prova\prova2 doesn't exist after deleting c:\prova and windows throws an vague error: can not delete %1 access denied.
- save columns with bookmark
- middle mouse button scroll change cursor. -tricky to do since its not a model loop. -added -use the cursor Word uses
- There needs to be a single call, like the Everything_GetRunCountFromFileName but for sizes, and dates. This would bypass the query and just get the information directly from the Everything database. Added to my TODO list.
- IPC add: Everything_GetResultTotalFileSize -will have to add to the main struct somehow.. -also add Everything_GetNumFolderResults and Everything_GetNumFileResults support back, it will not work for special sorts, which is fine..
- nsis installer getting error 0xc000007b when first run and when windows 10 ASLR is enabled. -can we support ASLR with nsis?
- It is not clear to the user that in the Tools -> Options -> NTFS page the Settings for Local Disk (C:) is for the selection above (same with other options page) -consider highlighting Settings for *Local Disk (C:)* or using a groupbox around the listbox and settings
- option to save current columns in bookmarks
- split advanced search help for start and end dates, dont use the same help for both.
- filter builder like wowhead?
- monitoring -> updating -The naming may change for the UI, something like "Pause index updates" / "Index updates paused".
- change /monitor_pause to /pause_updates after changing monitor -> update localization
- When the monitors are paused, show the current status on the statusbar
- option to label indexes? Tools -> Options -> NTFS -> C: -> Custom Label: NTFS C: -and show a "index label" column
- allow ESC when building long list of pidls (right click on all selected files)
- review ae (the one character symbol) matching a
- option to sort by the first regex match
- like filezilla, use base64 for storing passwords in Everything.ini/bookmarks.csv files
- *Everything.exe -startup -reindex && ES -sort size folder: size:^>1gb -the first part returns successfully before the reindex command is complete. if the ES query is terminated while the es query was active, the es client will never recieve results, we should process DB_QUERY_EVENT_DB_CHANGED or remove DB_QUERY_EVENT_DB_CHANGED and automate it
- Don't display machine target in DisplayVersion for installed programs and features, it should only display major.minor.revision.build
- Check IPC client exists while building IPC reply message. highlighted search terms is not checking and takes forever to build the reply message, even when the ipc client termiantes. -we need to use pipes instaed of WM_COPYDATA. -pipes need another thread, and I dont wont another thread.
- ignore punctuation should ignore combine chars (diacritics)
- auto complete shell:
- option to specify a maximum column width when "size columns to fit", should be specified in pixels, eg 640, could specify 100% for 100% screen width?
- support quotes (") to escape ; for folder list edits. Tools -> Options -> NTFS -> Include Only -> "Folder with ; in it";"another folder"
- bitlocker drive not ready -The problem is that if you have an NTFS formatted drive that has been encrypted with BitLocker there is a use case where Everything scans the drive before it has been decrypted, and then does not automatically scan it again after it has been decrypted, and so doesn't show any files on that drive unless you go click the Force Rebuild button in the options.

- add support for idroptarget so we can drop text on Everything.
- if filelists have no "filename" header, they should treat each line as a filename (cmd tree export?)

- add a filepart:/namepart: search function to search only the file part of the filename (excluding the extension).
- with temp exclude, allow right click -> exclude files modified before/after the selected files modified date.
- use overlapped struct for all writefile operations. we don't want to wait to build the next chunk before the data is written to disk. use GetOverlappedResult to wait before WriteFile so we are always waiting for the disk.

- etp client request is fast sort.
- add runcount for items renamed, eg: newsteam.exe (10) -> steam.exe (100) becomes steam.exe (110) and newsteam.exe becomes (0)? viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6268&p=18845#p18845
- negative run count for showing items at the bottom of the search. -would be useful for showing the recyclebin at the bottom, but would be too hard to maintain unless runcount could work with the parent folders runcount.

- next filter, prev filter.
- look up all hardlinks for frn:
- support short FRNs (exclude the sequence number) for frn:
- renamer should sort by path descending when renaming, so subfolders are renamed before parents.
- improve run as admin from ui_Access denied and options, for when we run Everything from a remote location with no write access to the same location as Everything.exe. -we don't really want to see 'unable to save settings', eg, run Everything.exe from \\voidstar\dev\everything\debug\everything.exe from win10 vm as limited user.

- preview pane option in bookmarks and home?
- SHGetFileInfo is going to disk for .exe, .lnk and .ico files when SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES is used.

search button when search as you type is disabled. - dm:-dc:>100minutes etc..
- Levenshtein distance ld: function set threshold in ini.
- normalization table option? word table[65536]?
- I need to add an update now button when NTFS monitoring is disabled
- ICustomDestinationList for pinned taskbar app? could list search history and run history.? -doesnt work at all on windows 10, seems fine on windows 7. could only add "tasks" couldnt add custom categorys
- details pane, like in explorer, so for thumbnail view we can see size, date modified, path etc each on its own line.
- built in text viewer for windows xp. -future release maybe?
- export options. have two columns like in BM. << add >> remove.. could have size in bytes, formatted size in KB etc..
- add all opened files/folders to the "jump list".

- path suggestions when typing out a absolute path, ie d:\games\... etc
- usn event use some sort of cache for the last item
- add outline color customization

- -add a new translation string for the copyright string, but this time use a variable for the year.
- scroll bar on suggestion list
- make everything filter deletable, if there are no filters, just use the predefined empty everything filter. also make import add duplicated everything filters. -this does simplify things and removes the complex "smart" everything filter
- I will look into adding support for allow the search edit text to be included in the filter, rather than ANDed with it.
- folder updating, update icons if date modified / size changes. -requires indexing the entire fd size we need to check size/date changes and we might not be indexing that information.
- show bookmark keyboard shortcut duplicates in add new shortcut key.
- allow path column as drop targets, drop a file into the specified path.
- etp highlighting with * escapes like in IPC? -not possible since our search returns the entire list. -we would have to do a SEARCH_HIGHLIGHTED command that returns the entire list as highlighted
- use folders to group bookmarks
- try to exclude files before we add them to the index. -we could be excluding files at this stage!
- check if aero mode is doing something crazy when we bitblt multiple times, is it syncing each blit?!?, maybe we should have an option to use a huge back buffer and do a single blit? -rewrite renderer so we allocate/draw then entire backbuffer at once.
- when a user types in a absolute path that is not indexed, add it to the temp index?, ie user types \\tv\ which is not indexed, so we grab just the folders in \\tv\, that way we could quickly paste something in \\tv\uploads without it being in the index..
- multiline text for thumbnails
- fonts and colors dialog needs to be larger for italian. -i'm thinking of using double lines for the default radio button, and another line for the custom and selection.
- I will look at allowing resizing and query in a future release... -need to check is_busy and wait til new_results to do the ui_size / ui_paint, this still doesnt help when scrolling or pressing keys... might need a better approach, will leave as is for now.
- portable file list editor
- everything cgi for existing web servers.
- ctrl + space to auto suggest paths, so we have type d:\mu , ctrl + space would change that to d:\music\, or if multiple options are available, show a list of possible paths. (search must start with a root path), we should do this with the auto indexing of unindexed folders, ie typing in \\tv\ will start indexing \\tv
- locations bar, and should we use check boxes?
- remove ui_listview_select_all, just use ui_select_all
- New folder<lowercase %2> -tcl like function calls for rename.

- server ideas: host runs own journal for the everything db.
- update folder attributes.
- Store the index root of a file list in a file list comment? and add support for reindex a filelist. -cant use comments in csv files in excel, we could built a list of all the rootmost folders and update from there..
- Remembering the free space is interesting, I'll look into adding that information as a efu file list comment and maybe displaying it in the status bar when a efu file list result is selected.
- force close usn journal entry after detecting attribute change? -need to check if there is any recourse in doing this.
- review offline color -hard to maintain what is offline.
- if language is RTL have a RTL help section under help.
- own delete / rename dialog. -ui_delete, which will delete the file on disk and remove the item from the database. that way we could set the next focused item
- optimize selection masking so we only check for new selections in the expanded region.
- FindFirstChangeNotification seems to work better than ShellChangeNotify, FindFirstChangeNotification only lets us know if a changed occured, not what the changes was.
- move ipreviewhandler to its own thread, if possible.
- show the Everything icon in Explorer context menus
- fuzzy:? check https://siderite.blogspot.com.au/2014/1 ... tance.html
- index outlook express attachment filenames -how to display in the UI? c:\emails\anemail.eml:attachmentfilename?
- make content: return no results then run a background thread to find and add the results
- map german b (0x00DF) to ss -we can't do these conversions for performance reasons.
- IShellImageStore for reading thumbs.db on xp? IShellImageFactory (for thumbnails only) on vista and later to use thumbs.db
- if we want thumbnail adornments we must render them ourselfs, windows explorer uses icons (imageres.dll,191-194) to render them.
- close the console with Ctrl + ~ instead of from Everything.
- taskbar integration
- SHCNE_UPDATEDIR, but we should only update the specified dir. -review for future release.

- more control over position of preview window.
- show history menu if search history is enabled? -review
- listbox right click
- DrawThemeBackground( hTheme, hDC, LVP_LISTITEM, LIS_SELECTED, R1, @R1 ); to draw modern listview selection? use explorer:listview as name
index filenames in zip files rar files z7 files (.sit files?) with folder indexing. - folder index table for x64? -this could make folder indexing use 1/3 more memory! -future release / compression
desktop should work, shell:Desktop should expand first,Progress is being made on these things to do in Everything 1.5
And of course with blank password support (-connect user@host) because we don't need another password.
So, when I want to open a file oder folder out of Everytrhing it would be nice if it would open the correspondig administrative share. For instance: I want to open the Folder "E:\the\folder\i\like" from server "myserv" and when I doubleclick that folder, "\\myserv\e$\the\folder\i\like" is opened in my Windows Explorer!
