The length of a video (wmv, for example) was known by Everything: if I search on length:XXmYYs it is found. But then, if I rename the file, Everyhing suddenly often doesn't know the length of the video anymore (often it does, often it doesn't). To find the same file again, I have to include length:unknown. Why does Everything not update the search database when renaming a (video)file?
Using: 1.5.0.1346a (x64)
The length variable is lost in the database when renaming
Re: The length variable is lost in the database when renaming
Please try the latest version of Everything 1.5
Please make sure update indexed properties is not paused under the Index menu.
Select the file and hit Ctrl + F5 to refresh indexed properties.

Will the newest version fix the issue?
Ctrl + F5 Might work, but will the newest version re-read the file (and add all values to the database) when renaming a file?
Re: The length variable is lost in the database when renaming
A lot has changed since 1346a.
Everything will perform a fresh reindex if you install the latest version.
Please check your includes/excludes for the length property under Tools -> Options -> Properties.

When that happens, does Windows (Properties) show the length of that video?Everything suddenly often doesn't know the length of the video anymore

What properties/content are you indexing?

Just:
Height
Length
Video Format
Width
(it was a bit of a speedbump discovering the change of using HEVC instead of HVC1 for videoformat, but thankfully only a few bookmarks needed to be changed to deal with it)
