Trash filter

[svobodniy]

Hello. Can you help me to make a filter to remove the trash from the drive with the following data: *.*~;*.?$?;*.??$;*.?~?;*.^*;*.bak;*.err;*.log;*.old;*.temp;*.tmp;*~tmp.* and so on. If it possible, it can replace programs to clean the drive.

I mean, what should be written instead of "nocase:ext:" to make trash filter works?

[void]

Please try:

Code: Select all

*.*~|*.?$?|*.??$|*.?~?|*.^*|*.bak|*.err|*.log|*.old|*.temp|*.tmp|*~tmp.*

Unfortunately, wildcards do not work with the ext: command.

It's incredible! But I haven't thought about some files that are covered by the mask, but shouldn't be deleted, and folders. Is it possible to exclude some files and folders as a class in the same filter?

If this trash-filter would come out, it could be added to the other filters in Everything

[svobodniy]

It would be nice, if we could write the following form "include :...; exclude :..." and exclude folders from the search. It would be a universal filter!

Or, is it possible to write a similar pattern now (in the Everething 1.2.1.451a)?

[void]

You can use an exclamation mark (!) prefix to exclude a search term.

For example, to exclude C:\windows

Code: Select all

!C:\windows\

Please see the "Everything" Search Syntax for more information.

I can't add folders to clean, such as "Windows\Temp". Tried several ways, but they are not universal... I have read Search syntax, but not found an option as "show all files in the folder %folder_name%". Can you add such function?

So... As a result, a filter made only by extensions and file names.

Code: Select all

<file:ext:---;###;$$$;$*;$db;$sa;*~;?$?;??$;?~?;@@@;^*;___;_dd;_detmp;_dump;_mp;~*;aps;bac;bak;bk;bk?;chk;cpy;dao;db$;diz;dmp;err;errorlog;fic;fnd;ftg;fts;gid;ilk;lo_;log;mch;MS;nav;ncb;nch;nhc;nu3;nu4;old;pch;pf;prv;shd;sik;spc;swr;syd;temp;tmp;wbk;xlg;xlk !bootsect.bak !tracking.log !thmc*.tmp !mplog-*.log !windowsupdate.log !passwd.log !reportingevents.log !\Boot\>|<file:*_ofidx.*|*~.*|*~tmp.*|*log.txt|_istmp*.*|~*.*|anti-vir.dat|bootlog.prv|chklist.*|dxva_sig.txt|ffastun.*|file*.chk|file????._dd|file_id.diz|files.bbs|iebak.dat|imagedb.aid|log*.txt|modemdet.txt|modemet.txt|mscreate.dir|pspbrwse.jbf|suhdlog.dat|system.1st|t3v?????.*|thumbs.db|twain???.mtx|vc?0.idb>

Filter have been tested on Windows 7, all the necessary files have been excluded from the filter rule. In the near future would try to test on Windows XP.

[void]

Keep in mind the ext: command does not support wildcards.

Use < and > to group boolean operations.

Please try the following:

Code: Select all

\Windows\Temp\ | <<ext:---;###;$$$;$db;$sa;@@@;___;_dd;_detmp;_dump;_mp;aps;bac;bak;bk;chk;cpy;dao;db$;diz;dmp;err;errorlog;fic;fnd;ftg;fts;gid;ilk;lo_;log;mch;MS;nav;ncb;nch;nhc;nu3;nu4;old;pch;pf;prv;shd;sik;spc;swr;syd;temp;tmp;wbk;xlg;xlk | file:<*.$*|*.*~|*.?$?|*.??$|*.?~?|*.^*|*.~*|*.bk?|*_ofidx.*|*~.*|*~tmp.*|*log.txt|_istmp*.*|~*.*|anti-vir.dat|bootlog.prv|chklist.*|dxva_sig.txt|ffastun.*|file*.chk|file????._dd|file_id.diz|files.bbs|iebak.dat|imagedb.aid|log*.txt|modemdet.txt|modemet.txt|mscreate.dir|pspbrwse.jbf|suhdlog.dat|system.1st|t3v?????.*|thumbs.db|twain???.mtx|vc?0.idb>> !bootsect.bak !tracking.log !thmc*.tmp !mplog-*.log !windowsupdate.log !passwd.log !reportingevents.log !\Boot\>

[svobodniy]

OK, I understand.

I made some more improvements:

Code: Select all

<<ext:---;###;$$$;$db;$sa;@@@;___;_dd;_detmp;_dump;_mp;aps;bac;bak;bk;chk;cpy;dao;db$;diz;dmp;err;errorlog;fic;fnd;ftg;fts;gid;ilk;lo_;log;mch;MS;nav;ncb;nch;nhc;nu3;nu4;old;pch;pf;prv;shd;sik;spc;swr;syd;temp;tmp;wbk;xlg;xlk | file:<<*.$*|*.*~|*.?$?|*.??$|*.?~?|*.^*|*.~*|*.bk?|*_ofidx.*|*~.*|*~tmp.*|*log.txt|_istmp*.*|~*.*|anti-vir.dat|bootlog.prv|chklist.*|dxva_sig.txt|ffastun.*|file*.chk|file????._dd|file_id.diz|files.bbs|iebak.dat|imagedb.aid|log*.txt|modemdet.txt|modemet.txt|mscreate.dir|pspbrwse.jbf|suhdlog.dat|system.1st|t3v?????.*|thumbs.db|twain???.mtx|vc?0.idb> | \Windows\Temp\ | \Windows\Prefetch\ | \Windows\Cookies\ | "\Temporary Internet Files\" | \Windows\History\>> !bootsect.bak !opa10.bak !opa11.bak !opa12.bak !index.dat !edb.log !mplog-*.log !passwd.log !reportingevents.log !tracking.log !windowsupdate.log !thm????*.tmp !\Boot\>

I haven't tested it on Windows XP yet. Obviously there will need to add some more folders to clean.

[svobodniy]

I think, I excluded all the basic files from the filter rule. Filter have been tested on Windows 7 and Windows XP.

Code: Select all

<<ext:---;###;$$$;$db;$sa;@@@;___;_dd;_detmp;_dump;_mp;aps;bac;bak;bk;chk;cpy;dao;db$;diz;dmp;err;errorlog;fic;fnd;ftg;fts;gid;ilk;lo_;log;mch;MS;nav;ncb;nch;nhc;nu3;nu4;old;pch;pf;prv;shd;sik;spc;swr;syd;temp;tmp;wbk;xlg;xlk | file:<<*.$*|*.*~|*.?$?|*.??$|*.?~?|*.^*|*.~*|*.bk?|*_ofidx.*|*~.*|*~tmp.*|*log.txt|_istmp*.*|~*.*|anti-vir.dat|bootlog.prv|chklist.*|dxva_sig.txt|ffastun.*|file*.chk|file????._dd|file_id.diz|files.bbs|iebak.dat|imagedb.aid|log*.txt|modemdet.txt|modemet.txt|mscreate.dir|pspbrwse.jbf|suhdlog.dat|system.1st|t3v?????.*|thumbs.db|twain???.mtx|vc?0.idb> | \Local\Temp\ | \Windows\Temp\ | \Windows\Prefetch\ | \Windows\Cookies\ | "\Temporary Internet Files\" | \Windows\History\>> !bootsect.bak !opa10.bak !opa11.bak !opa12.bak !index.dat !edb.log !edbtmp.log !last.fm.log !mgrs.log !mplog-*.log !ntuser.dat.log !passwd.log !reportingevents.log !usrclass.dat.log !windowsupdate.log !thm????*.tmp !\Boot\ !"\System Volume Information\" !\Windows\system32\config\>

But everyone can modify the filter by itself
