V 2.0.0.0 RC 3 is the one that I use as well.

The reason I ask is that it throws up a lot of warnings on Virustotal..Although I haven't had any problems with it (that I know of).

harryray2

NOTNULL...are you referring to uniextract2 by Bioruebe?

harryray2

Absolutely nothing has been changed, and all previous versions are working. Run as admin has never been enabled.

harryray2

Thanks David, I've already got process explorer installed on my system so I will do that.

harryray2

No path to the test installation as such, I just put Everything portable 1391 in a new folder in a new folder and ran it clean.

Just to reiterate, the settings are absolutely correct, Everything service is running correctly on my system , and it's only 1391 that is the problem.
I have had the same ...

harryray2

Thanks Tuska,

No, everything is exactly as it has been before..I've always used the portable version.

As I mentioned, Everything has been fine up until the latest version.

I tried running Everything 1391 from scratch with no adjustments apart from Everything service and I still have the same ...

harryray2

I have made absolutely no changes whatsoever. There is no problem starting from !390 and downwards.

In fact, I've now switched between 1390, 1384 and 1391 several times, and keep coming up with the same problem only on 1391.

T do have a couple of other instances running under the same service as ...

Thanks,

Unfortunately, that didn't work..still getting the UAC prompt

harryray2

No, it works fine as it is..I've been running it like this for several years.

harryray2

Thanks David.

File attached..I did a text compare, no difference between the two files.

This Everything is an instance.
D:\david\Everything64.exe -instance david

UAC prompt just appears when starting Everything each time.

harryray2

Everything is running correctly, I have made no changes whatsoever before updating. I've upgraded many times but never come across this problem.
before.

Using the same installation, up to 1390 works, 1391 is the only one with the service problem.

It's definitely 1391 that's causing me problems ...

It's 1391 that I'm having the problem with.

I've bumped the version up to 1390 which is OK, but still a problem with services on 1391

harryray2

I'm running 1384 since November and it's has been fine.

It's 1391 that I'm having the problem with.

harryray2

Run as service is ticked, but I'm getting a UAC box pop up.

I've reverted back and the problem goes away.

The service on my computer appears to be running. I haven't made any changes from 1384.

Admin: 0
Service: 1 (connected / installed and running)

I'm using portable everything on Win 7.

This ...

harryray2

I've just tried installing the latest everything..

It appears that the Everything service isn't working..I reverted back to 1384 and the service is fine.

harryray2

Is there an easy way of finding duplicates that have (exactly) the same name and size?

harryray2

OK, thanks.

harryray2

Thanks David, that would be useful.

harryray2

Thanks, yes I've already done that, the margin settings have helped a bit..Is there a way to just have these settings apply only when I'm doing a dupe search?

harryray2

Would it be possible to have a search history, or even bookmarks in the index journal?

I refer to the index journal fairly frequently, and having to type in multiple exclusions every time.

Thanks.

harryray2

Thanks, is there a possibility that you could make the dividing lines a bit more prominent?

harryray2

I've solve it by adjusting dupe_line_colour. Is it possible to thicken the lines?

I'll ask David, but I wonder if it's feasible to add an option to put a blank le between blocks of dupes?

harryray2

If I view in dark mode (which I don't like using), I can just about make out a faint grey line between the groups of duplicates.

harryray2

No, I can't get it to work.
Will it only work in dark mode?

harryray2

Thanks NotNull, I disabled group colours and enabled dupe_lines but it doesn't appear tp work.

Also, I'm wondering if it's possible to have a blank line between groups of duplicates?

harryray2

Thanks..

I have quite a few duplicates to sort through, and after a while ny eyes start spinning looking at the colours.

Is there a way of:

!. Inserting a blank line between the 'blocks' of duplicates?
2. Instead of colours, having each block in alternating dark and light grey?

A blank line ...

harryray2

Sorry, I should have explained...I want to be able to view and delete the actual files in the two directories.

I'm not sure how to just search for files in just two directories..I tried
"original browser" | "edge chrome 108" e:
but this just bought up the directory names, but not the files in the ...

harryray2

I want to compare the files in two separate folders, and then delete the duplicates.

I tried it via the file list and efu which works for finding the duplicates, but it doesn't allow me to delete.

Is there a way of doing this?

harryray2

Brilliant, thank you..

harryray2

Thanks David.

I find the index journal viewer very useful...Do you (or anyone else) know of a similar stand alone programme that is similar to the index journal?

harryray2

What does journal_add_all do please?

harryray2

I automatically backup my index journal log every day as a txt file.

Is there a way of importing this back into Everything, so that I can read it from the index journal log within everything?

Can I automatically back up the log in csv format, rather than in txt, and what does the entry journal_add ...

harryray2

Is there a way to use advanced move or advanced copy using Teracopy?
I prefer it going through Teracopy because of its file verification ability.

harryray2

Is anybody aware of how to block certain file extensions from being downloaded?.I tried it on ublock but there doesn't appear to ba a way of doing this.

I can block both with my antivirus, but I would also like to block on Tor which bypasses my antivirus (and host file).

Also, is there a way of ...

harryray2

Is it possible, when searching for duplicates, to only show duplicates that have three or more instances?

harryray2

Does this apply across the board? Date created etc.

harryray2

I would be interested to know if you find one.

harryray2

To a degree, yes. There are other options in the preferences menu. The omly flaw, as far as I can see, is with skip all, it appears to skip everything with the same file name without taking the size and date into consideration. I just use this when there are a large amount of files.
There may be a ...

harryray2

I've been using the free version of Teracopy for quite a while..It also has verification.

harryray2

It can be pretty much put anywhere (allowing for operating system restrictions).

I have had portable Everything in several locations, and indeed have several instances in different locations.

harryray2

I use the Firefox portable app.

I move the UBO sqlite file from its location at profile\data\storage\default\moz-extension************ to the main profile folder, vacuum the profile folder with Speedyfox, then move the file back again to its original location.
I'm doing this with all my extensions ...

harryray2

Thanks so much for the info...

I managed to find a programme that allows me to create a hard link via the context menu.

harryray2

Thanks David, does that mean that any action taken on a hard link, such as 'vacuuming' a .sqlite file or, for example, defragging, will affect the original file in another directory?

Can you recommend the best way to create the hard link?

harryray2

In short, yes, move to 1.5..There's the occasional bug, but nothing drastic, and if there is, it's very quickly rectified.
I personally can't see any reason to use 1.4.

harryray2

Yes, it does work if I move the files from the relevant storage folder to the main profile folder, I then move the files back to the original storage folder.
The files I want to vacuum relate to various extensions, which place .sqlite files in various sub folders within the main storage folder.

It ...

harryray2

I regularly 'vacuum' my .sqlite files in Firefox with a programme called speedyfox. This works on my .sqlite files in my Firefox profile folder, but not on .sqlite files in other folders.
If I created a hard link in my Firefox profile folder, pointing to a file in another folder, would any action on ...

harryray2

It's showing in everything but definitely not finding it with a search. Although, if I do a search for test, everything finds it, but not if I search for test.

harryray2

Not really sure what that regex does, but it doesn't find any folder ending with .

harryray2

I quite like the fact that Everything can pick up on things like this.
Which made me wonder as to how one would search for this? I tried endwith:. but that didn't work.
