Preview handler doesn't work in Everything 1.5

Post by echohead »

In version 1.4.1 as soon as I clicked on a file my preview automatically appeared.
in version 1.5.0 when I click it doesn't appear,



It seems to me that in version 1.4.1 when you clicked on the file you would be clicking exactly as it would be in Windows Explorer, but in 1.5.0 this does not happen,

I want to know if it is possible to make it so that when I click on the file it is as if I were clicking in Windows Explorer

:D

Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
  • Uncheck Run as administrator.
  • Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
  • Click OK.
  • Exit Everything (from the File menu, click Exit).
  • Restart Everything.
Does the issue persist?
What type of file are you trying to preview?

.wav .mp3 .mp4...

it seems that when I select the file I am not actually selecting it directly from windows explorer, unlike version 1.4.1 :x

Could you please send some debug output:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Start Debug Logging.
  • Select a different .wav/.mp3/.mp4 file.
  • From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Stop Debug Logging.
    ---This will open your %TEMP%\Everything Debug Log.txt in Notepad.
  • Please reply with the text from this file.

Thank you for the log.

I am not seeing Everything changing the preview.

Could you please try sending another debug log:
  • In Everything 1.5, make sure no files are selected.
  • From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Start Debug Logging.
  • Select a .wav/.mp3/.mp4 file.
    ---Please let Everything sit for one minute.
  • From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Stop Debug Logging.
    ---This will open your %TEMP%\Everything Debug Log.txt in Notepad.
  • Please reply with the text from this file.

  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Advanced tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    alpha
  • Select: alpha_instance
  • Set the value to: false
  • Click OK.
  • In Everything 1.5, from the File menu, click Exit.
  • Restart Everything.
