I'm using a python class made from the SDK. (https://www.voidtools.com/support/every ... dk/python/) and I'm pretty happy with it.
The filter "folder: d:\" returns 9,496 items in 0.010 seconds, which is acceptable.
The filter "folder: d:\ !attrib:H" returns 9,478 items in 0.276 seconds, which is much to slow. (Drive C: is 30 times as big)
Shell Attributes are included in the properties for files and folders.
What am I missing?
Thanx fore reading, Laus
BTW: Everything 1.5 alpha, python 3.11.2, W10,
In the Everything GUI the results appear instantly.
