Found a bug in the latest versions of Everything Alpha

Post by Polibio »

Starting with version 1.5.0.1373a (x64), when you right-click one or more files in the search results and choose "cut" (or press the "Ctrl-X" key combination), then go to the explorer (in my case Directory Opus) and right-click somewhere and choose "paste" (or press the "Ctrl-V" key combination), the file (or files) are not moved but copied.
Version 1.5.0.1372a is the last one that behaves correctly in such a situation.

Thank you for the issue report Polibio,



I am unable to reproduce the issue on Windows 10 22H2 or Windows 11 23H2.

Are you using any software that works with the clipboard?



Have you changed any advanced settings? (Help -> Troubleshooting information)



1373a+ will now use oleSetClipboard by default.

Please try disabling oleSetClipboard:
  • 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:
    clipboard
  • Select: ole_set_clipboard
  • Set the value to: false
  • Click OK.

As soon as I posted the message, I realized that I had omitted to specify that the problem occurs only when you try to move the file or files to a different hard disk, while if you perform the operation within the same hard disk, everything works normally.
I immediately wanted to edit the post accordingly, but I was unable to do so as it was still awaiting approval and I did not have the opportunity.

EDIT
However, following your advice to disable the "ole_set_clipboard" item, the problem seems to be solved.
Thank you very much!
