any way to create efu filelist of all instead of particular path?

[tiddu]

i want to create filelist of everything and not particular path. what to put in command line. i tried * and "". but not working. also tried without a path. still not working. any solution for this?

You mean by using a command like the following?
"c:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -create-file-list t:\dump.efu "C:\"

That will not work without a specific path.


Alternatives:
In Everything, without typing any search query, select Menu:File > Export
(check if Save as type is indeed set to EFU Everything File List (*.efu) )


Or use the command-line tool ES.exe and run the following command:
es.exe -export-efu t:\dump.efu

(download Everything Command-line Interface here)

Using the first method is the fastest.

thanks. this is helpful. if i copy the database file , is it same as efu? can i later replace the database with the backed up one and will the old filelist will show instead of current. if you know what i mean?

You can open an old (backed up) .db in -read-only mode, so that can be a historical reference of what was.

Otherwise, you would be reading current data.
