Configure Directory Opus + Everything 1.5a - Wildcard search?

[scott739]

Hi,

I have both Everything (EV) 1.4.1.1024 and 1.5a installed on the same machine. Default installation and indexing everything.
I have Directory Opus (DO) 13.7 installed (under evaluation but I like it and will likely buy).

I have a bookmark in EV1.5a that works as I want it: wildcards:C:\\Users\\scott\\OneDrive\\MyApp\\Dev\\SB#*\\*.sln depth:7
This finds *.sln files in directories under ...\Dev\SB001|SB002|SB003|... without further finding *.sln files in the Archive folder in SB001|SB002|SB003|etc.
I also have S001|S002|S003|etc folders under Dev, and the #wildcard modifier works well to ensure both bookmarks work as desired.

I would like to save this as a Saved Query/File Collection in DO.

I have followed the instructions here https://docs.dopus.com/doku.php?id=addi ... ntegration and have set alpha_instance=0 in C:\Users\scott\AppData\Roaming\Everything\Everything-1.5a.ini (both via notepad and via the EV UI).

I have restarted EV and DO. I have not restarted my machine.

However, I cannot get the wildcard search to work in DO. I press + to start Search (Everything Global), paste in the wildcard search, but get no results.

Questions:

* How can I verify that DO is using 1.5a?
* Do wildcard searches work in DO?

Off-topic:

* I'm happy to uninstall EV 1.4.x if that helps. I note that 1.5a has been alpha for a while, it seems stable enough, and I like the new features.
* The structure of the wildcard search is different between 1.4 and 1.5. This works in 1.4: wildcards:C:\Users\scott\OneDrive\MyApp\Dev\SB#*\*.sln depth:7, while 1.5 requires the escaped backslashes. I assume this is intentional?
* The depth function is missing from the 1.4 Help -> Search syntax but works. Is this meant to be an undocumented feature in 1.4?

Thanks!

P.S.: Although new to EV, I absolutely love it. Wish I'd discovered it years ago. I'm recommending it to everyone. Thanks for the excellent software.

Disabling the alpha instance while Everything 1.4 is still running will cause conflicts.

Please try exiting Everything 1.4 and restarting Everything 1.5:

Exit Everything 1.4 (File -> Exit)
Exit Everything 1.5 (File -> Exit)
Restart Everything 1.5.



Use bookmark:"My bookmark name" to access your bookmark from a search.
-or-
Use your bookmark macro to access your bookmark from a search.

My issue isn't getting my 1.5a specific wildcard search to work in EV - that works fine.
My problem is getting that same search to work in DO.
This leads me to think that DO isn't using 1.5a but I don't know how to confirm that (short of uninstalling 1.4, which I may choose to do).

I'm just guessing here, but I think you should probably ask in their forum

Thanks. I saw a lot of DO+EV posts here so thought I would give it a try. But I agree with your input.
