Please add optional a trailing backslash to the name field in the GUI if this is a directory.
This will help a lot for scripting in Total Commander.
TC currently requires a backslash at the end of directories.

Re: Add traling backslash to name for folders
From the TODO list (What's Next for Everything 1.5a):
- add an option to include a trailing backslash for directories when using copy as path and exporting to txt.
Re: Add traling backslash to name for folders
Would this help for your case horst.epp ?add an option to include a trailing backslash for directories when using copy as path and exporting to txt.
Re: Add traling backslash to name for folders
No, unfortunately not.
The current scripting solution reads the GUI with help of SysListView321 in AHK.
So the name field of the GUI must have the \
Additionaly it would be of help if the command line tool es.exe had an option to add the \ to dirs.
Re: Add traling backslash to name for folders
Thanks for the reply.
I'll add this to my TODO list.

Re: Add traling backslash to name for folders
I didn't check the current method, but the following code should work whan the suggestion on the todo list is implemented.
It will generate a UTF-8 BOM encoded textfile with the selected filenames in Everything (CTRL+A to select all filenames).
Press Win+Z to generate this list.
Warning: mostly untested, but the 2 runs I did with it went OK.
Code: Select all
#NoEnv
#singleinstance force
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%
$EVERYTHING_IPC_ID_FILE_COPY_FULL_PATH_AND_NAME := 41007
; Output file
$OutFile := "t:\evlist2tc.txt"
; Default file encoding
FileEncoding, UTF-8
SetTitleMatchMode, Regex
#IfWinActive ahk_class ^EVERYTHING
#z::
{
$ClipOrg := Clipboard
Clipboard := ""
SendMessage, 0x111, %$EVERYTHING_IPC_ID_FILE_COPY_FULL_PATH_AND_NAME%,,, A
FileDelete, %$OutFile%
FileAppend, %Clipboard%, %$OutFile%
Clipboard := $ClipOrg
}
#IfWinActive
But in the end, it is a bug on the Total Commander side of things: some folders need a trailing backslash, whereas some others don't need this. I am positive that it will get fixed in the near future.

We also have a working solution which only needs one hotkey while using the Everything GUI.
As long as the proposed Everything change is not available or Christian corrects the Loadlist command
there are restrictions for folder names in the result.
See the TC forum topic for the current solution
https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=75439
I tested your script and it doesn't work.
1. You have to be in the result list to get anything (our solution works even when you are still in the search bar).
2. I only get the first line from the whole GUI results.

Re: Add traling backslash to name for folders
This was only the Everything part of it, for demo purposes. Just to show that the suggestion on the todo list would be enough to export with a trailing \
As said, you need to select some files in the result list (CTRL+A to select them all) and those filenames will be saved to a text file.
That way you can "export" only the filenames you are interested in.
If I understand correctly, you are combining Path + Name fields (Path + \ + Name).
Then there is an even much easier solution that works right now: Just add a \ after foldernames as well as fileames (Path + \ + Name + \ ).
TC accepts filenames ending in a \ too, so no further workaround needed!

If a select some files in the GUI I get a list from your script but its not accepted by LOADLIST.
The complete lines are enclosed with "" which is not accepted at all.

Re: Add traling backslash to name for folders
Then LOADLIST is even more "crippled" than expected ..
If you are going to suggest better handling of backslashes, maybe ask for support of quoted filenames too.
My code was thrown together in a couple of minutes as a proof of concept; it is not fail-safe or fool-proof. I have no intention to make this in a fully working program. If you like the approach, integrate it in your current code. If not: fine too.
But .. if you want to test it, uncheck Double quote copy as path in the Everything Options (General > Results) and see if that helps.
On the other hand: If I were you, I would simply add the trailing backslash to your existing code and call it a day.

Re: Add traling backslash to name for folders
I'm happy with my current version as most results are files and not dirs.
I will just wait for an Everything option or TC update, whatever comes first.
My normal usage of Everything from TC is by the integrated searches with TC.
So all is fine.

Re: Add traling backslash to name for folders
Why not asking for real solution from Everything i.e
A) export filelist with backslash to a default file location with hotkey ?
B) dedicated search keyword to get from TC last result from the Ev GUI
C) scripting API with macro support
...
File type is known if you add the type column on EV gui !
With AHK you can get file type and add yourself backslash from the list, even if it take more time with the column you to not have to check file yourself.
From TC using ev: ed: ... you can directly call Everything engine and do not need the Ev UI at all..

Re: Add traling backslash to name for folders
I know that and I use the Everything integration from its first version.
But there are many cases for which the script solution is much better.
If you are in the Everything GUI and play with bookmarks for example
you cant use them from TC.
Or changing your search rules in the GUI until you see the expected results.
Its just the press of an hotkey to get them into TC with the script solution.
You can't get that by using TCs ev: over and over again.
Re: Add traling backslash to name for folders
I have to agree that everything search Ui is more fun than TC or command line EV to add criteria during search.
What i do most of the time is to use Loadlist to keep a search result and then navigate to files or folder using ^-> or ^<-
I have TC entries in system context menu to jump to file in TC Source or Target ... this is directly available from Everything UI. which keep my list on it's own UI.

Re: Add traling backslash to name for folders
I also have context menu entries for several file managers
(TC, XYplorer, Free Commander) in Everything.
I never use the native search features of any file manager (XYplorer has the best).

Re: Add trailing backslash to name for folders
Everything 1.5.0.1280a adds a folder_append_path_separator ini setting.
To show a trailing path separator for folders:
Trailing path separators for folders are added by the database API.
So this will affect results in ES and other requests.
This option is experimental.
I've tested the basic actions (open/cut/copy/paste/rename/delete/properties) but it might break with other actions.
Please let me know if you run into any issues.

Re: Add trailing backslash to name for folders
My tests with 3 file managers Total Commander (TC), XYplorer (XY) and Free Commander (FC) shows some problems.
The display of a path is showing \\ at the end but this is mostly cosmetic.
Free commander can't handle dir names with \ at the end.
With this test results I will stay with the new option disabled:
For TC we already have a script which adds the \ where necessary.
XY runs without any changes.
FC runs with almost the same script as TC.

Re: Add trailing backslash to name for folders
I think folder_append_path_separator should not add a \ to the Path field.
Scripts or tools know that the content of this field is a path.
It should only add the \ to the dir entries in the name field.
That would solve the \\ entries found in several tools.

Re: Add trailing backslash to name for folders
Thank you for your feedback horst.epp,
Everything 1.5.0.1281a will now only append the path separator to the name column when using the folder_append_path_separator ini setting.
Use efu_folder_append_path_separator to append a trailing path separator when exporting EFU files.

Re: Add trailing backslash to name for folders
Thanks for updating.
With 1281a the results of our script in Total Commander are now consistent
and independend of the folder_append_path_separator option.
There are no more any \\ and our script adds a trailing backslash to folder entries.

Re: Add trailing backslash to name for folders
Hi,
I have noticed that in Everything 1.5.0.1281a (x64) with
folder_append_path_separator=0
-OR-
folder_append_path_separator=1
and CTRL+SHIFT+C, CTRL+V I no longer get a backslash at the end of the last folder name.
Example:
D:\Daten\WINWORD\AddIn
In Everything 1.5.0.1280a (x64) I still get the backslash at the end.
Backslash in 1.5.0.1280a always works, no matter if folder_append_path_separator=1 or folder_append_path_separator=0.
Example:
D:\Daten\WINWORD\AddIn\
Therefore, please check.
Thank you!

Re: Add trailing backslash to name for folders
I actually kind of like the visual aesthetic of this feature. No particular need for it otherwise.
Think I'm going to leave /folder_append_path_separator=1 turned on for a while to break it in.

Re: Add trailing backslash to name for folders
Thank you for the feedback,
I will add more xxx_folder_append_path_separator settings for full control.
eg:
copy_folder_append_path_separator
Some users will want the \ as appearance only, and others will want copy full path and filename to include the trailing slash.
folder_append_path_separator will be for display only going forward.
txt_folder_append_path_separator for exporting as txt is in development and will probably be enabled by default.
I will add more xxx_folder_append_path_separator settings for full control.
eg:
copy_folder_append_path_separator
Some users will want the \ as appearance only, and others will want copy full path and filename to include the trailing slash.

Thank you for the implementation!
CTRL+Shift+C brings back the trailing backslash for folders.
With this new option, the difference is not yet clear to me,
because I get the same result with or without option 1 in the format shown below.

txt_folder_append_path_separator=1

It looks like Save as type is still set to EFU Everything File List (*.efu)?
Please try exporting with the Save as type set to Text Files (*.txt):
Please try exporting with the Save as type set to Text Files (*.txt):
- In Everything, from the File menu, click Export....
- Change Save as type to Text Files (*.txt).
- Choose a filename and click Save.

Thank you, I completely overlooked that
That's the way to do it:
Save as 'File type: Text Files (*.txt)'
txt_folder_append_path_separator=0
D:\Testfolder\Folder1\Folder2
D:\Testfolder\Folder1\Folder3
txt_folder_append_path_separator=1
D:\Testfolder\Folder1\Folder2\
D:\Testfolder\Folder1\Folder3\

Re: Add trailing backslash to name for folders
Everything 1.5.0.1283a adds the csv_folder_append_path_separator ini setting.
txt_folder_append_path_separator will now also apply to exporting as TEXT (Tab delimited)
Exporting as CSV will now save the Filename column instead of the Name and Path columns.
efu_folder_append_path_separator, txt_folder_append_path_separator and csv_folder_append_path_separator ini settings will now apply when exporting from the File List Editor.

Re: Add trailing backslash to name for folders
Everything 1.5.0.1302a removes copy_folder_append_path_separator.
The setting already exists as copy_path_folder_append_backslash.
I am considering renaming copy_path_folder_append_backslash to copy_folder_append_path_separator so this is more inline with the new append_path_separator settings.

Re: Add trailing backslash to name for folders
Hasn't this been fixed in Total Commander yet?
(meaning that this workaround is no longer needed)

Re: Add trailing backslash to name for folders
If you mean the AHK script, then there is no problem with the trailing backslash for me.
I use now the parameter
Code: Select all
copy_path_folder_append_backslash=1Re: Add trailing backslash to name for folders
Yes, that thread indeed. Where TC produces different input (or was it output?) depending on the number of files/folders that are processed...tuska wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 9:49 pm If you mean the AHK script, then there is no problem with the trailing backslash for me.
But you use it in other ways too, so the option is still needed anyway.
Re: Add trailing backslash to name for folders
Everything 1.5.0.1310a will now append a trailing backslash to folders by default when exporting.
