I use this to view image and video dimensions and lengths, plus bit depth of image files:

[iflen:$dimensions:, " DIMENSIONS: "$dimensions: ] [iflen:$length:,@ "LENGTH: "[formatduration:$length:]] [iflen:$bitdepth:,@ "BIT DEPTH: "$bitdepth:]

This shows the dimensions of image files and video ...

I have a hotkey/macro that finds all instances of a currently selected file in a Directory Opus Lister. The macro code is:

D:\Everything64\Everything64.exe -s nopath:exact:#quote:#[basename:"%1"#]:

However, when searching for all instances of Everything64.exe , by activating this macro with a ...

There is a typo in the sentence “Everything will reset your settings to thier default values” (should be “their”)

I would like to add Version and Product Version to my statusbar_selected_item_format entry, so these two properties will appear in the status bar whenever a file that has these properties (for example, *.exe files) is selected in the results list.

Are there codes for these properties (and ideally ...

I was wondering while the Everything Service was using up all of my PC's memory. I'm having other problems with my computer currently, so I thought the Everything Service, which usually uses 2-3 MB of RAM, suddenly started using 10 GB, on top of the memory used by my indexed properties.

One problem ...

For anyone using directory Opus v13 BETA, v13.0.40 Build 8693 comments can now be seen by Everything 1358a, at least on my PC. Can anyone confirm?

SuperDude

@therube: Thanks for the pointer.

SuperDude

When I create a new comment under Directory Opus v13 for a file type Everything normally indexes, Everything 1357 no longer detects the comment (the comment doesn't appear under my Comment column header.

I'm thinking this is a problem on Directory Opus' end, as Directory Opus v13 seems to have ...

TL;DR: The $s option, when added to the window_title_format= command, makes the current search term appear in the title bar. While the text already appears in the Search Edit Field, having it in the title bar is nice.

I'm glad to see it wasn't just me

I thought there was something really wrong with my computer.

I know void will get it all fixed soon.

I am also seeing an issue with v1342a. For me, Everything v1.5 Build 1342a doesn't index all of the .msi files metadata. Many of the .msi files' metadata ( Product Name, Product Version, Company ) are blank, while some of the others have partial metadata content indexed.

Reverting to v1341a fixes ...

SuperDude

@void: Thanks for the help.

SuperDude

I recently compared an older “Everything-1.5a.ini” file with a newer copy, using Diffinity, and Diffinity showed there was an encoding mismatch between the two. This could be the fault of Notepad++, which I had set to open files as UTF-8 (and to apply to opened ANSI files). Thanks

Is there a way to disable the “Instance in Options window title” setting? I like to keep my title bars minimalistic (plus I don't use multiple instances anyway). Thank you!

Nevermind, folks, something got corrupted on my computer. Everything v1.5 Build 1333a is indexing .msi file properties now. Weird. Thanks for the help everyone!

@void:

Just confirmed that Everything v1.5 Build 1332a *DOES* index .msi file properties.

Everything v1.5 Build 1333a isn't indexing any .msi content, including Product Name, Version, Product Version, or Description. I have tried the following:

1. Forced a rebuild using the Force Rebuild option.
2. Exited Everything, then deleted the Everything-1.5a.db file, then restarted the indexing ...

Love the new Findbar! Is there a way to make Everything show matching text in all columns instead of just the Name column?

I found 4 other dialogs that should be resizable:

Add omit result filter

I was just thinking: It would be ideal to make any dialog box that accepts user keyboard input resizable.

SuperDude

Thank you!

SuperDude

So... The Index Journal's “ Rename ” dialog is way too small. It would be ideal if the Index Journal's “ Rename ” dialog could be made resizable (and have Everything remember its last size and position on screen).

Also, it would be helpful if the Index Journal paused its scrolling while the Rename ...

Thank you for that information.

When I manually edit my Bookmarks-1.5a.csv in Notepad++, is there a command to make Everything reload the Bookmarks-1.5a.csv file so the manual changes I made are updated?

I manually edit my Bookmarks file in Notepad++ to add icons to context menu entries. These are the steps I take to edit and ...

I created a Bookmark called Toggle Tooltips , and added a custom icon, like this:

I have some questions about tooltips:

1. Where did the option to enable/disable tooltips in the GUI go?

2. How can I temporarily disable tooltips, preferably by using a hotkey?

3. Can the delay time before displaying tooltips be set by the user?

4. There is no mention of tooltips at all on the ...

Disclaimer: This works for me, but backup your Everything-1.5a.ini (just in case). You will need to use Everything v1327a as well.

I don't like seeing the “Omit Results” text in my status bar, so I use Tools > Debug > Config to open my “Everything-1.5a.ini” file, then add statusbar_omit_results=0 to it, save, then restart Everything when prompted.

When Everything restarts, the “Omit Results” text is gone (yay!). BUT, if I ...

SuperDude

Thanks for the tips. It appears that Directory Opus also displays the same times ( Length ) as Everything. Both will sometimes display a video file's length ( Duration in Directory Opus) with a leading zero, and sometimes not. For example, I have a video file that is 45:49 minutes long (no leading ...

SuperDude

I am (probably wrongly) using the following to prevent Everything from showing “hour” leading zeros whenever an audio or video file is selected in the Result List: duration_format=h:mm:ss

I have the Length column header included in my column headers group, and have the following file types ...

SuperDude

Thank you! That does exactly what I was trying to do.

SuperDude

I use statusbar_selected_item_format=$f which displays a selected file's full path. I would like to have my status bar also show all video file types' Dimensions and Length properties whenever a file of a given video format is selected in the Result List .

This is probably an easy fix, but I can't ...

SuperDude

Are you using the v1.5.0 Alpha version of Everything, and not the Beta? If you are using the Alpha version, you might be using an old version of Everything. “Organized Bookmarks” was changed to “Show All Bookmarks” in a more recent build, if I remember correctly.

SuperDude

Thank you for adding the bookmark icons, and the support for .msi files. Everything just keeps getting better and better!

SuperDude

That will be so cool! My vision sucks, so I rely on icons to quickly identify file types and menu entries. Thanks again

SuperDude

@void, do you have any plans to enable icons in bookmark entries? Everything's bookmarks system is already fantastic, but if we could create icons for bookmarks, that would be even greater :D

Thank you for creating Everything. I absolutely cannot live without it. Everything gets high praise on ...

I found a much easier way of setting a global font for all dialogs. If you set the following entries in the .INI file, Everything will use a bold font for all dialogs. All you have to do is:

3) Open the .INI file in a text editor

SuperDude

Not directly.

The UI scale can be set with Tools -> Options -> UI -> Scale.

If you don't want to adjust the UI scale, you can set the dialog font with a custom Everything.lng:

Download CustomDialogFont.zip and extract the Custom Dialog Font.txt to an empty folder.
Download makelng.zip and ...

SuperDude

I was wondering if you could add the ability to choose a font for all of the main dialogs/windows, including the Advanced Rename dialog, Bookmarks dialog, and the Options dialog? My eyesight is kind of going bad, and I have trouble reading the text in the main dialogs.

No big rush, and thank you ...
