Just rambling...

Code: Select all

C:\USR\STEVEN\P\2P\X.COURTS>es.bat -get-total-size C:\USR\STEVEN\P\2P\X.COURTS\X
19824

C:\USR\STEVEN\P\2P\X.COURTS>es.bat -get-total-size -path .\x
17808

C:\USR\STEVEN\P\2P\X.COURTS>es.bat -get-total-size .\x
0

C:\USR\STEVEN\P\2P\X.COURTS\X>ss.bat -get-total-size
17808

es.bat:

Code: Select all

@es.ex2 -instance 15  %*

ss.bat:

Code: Select all

@es.ex2 -pause -sort name -highlight -path . %1 %2 %3   -instance 15

@if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 \bin\old\SS_old.bat *%1*

es.ex2 is es.exe.
I've just renamed it since I'm on 1.5, & it allows me to keep my batch file names the same (between 1.4 & 1.5)...

es.bat is simply a call to es.ex2 with an -instance.
ss.bat simply searches the current directory (tree) [using -path .].

Using shell:* like in 1st. example doesn't seem to work on my end (Win7)?

Code: Select all

C:\USR\STEVEN\P\2P\X.COURTS>es shell:Desktop\ -get-total-size
0

SpecialFoldersView:

Code: Select all

Folder Name 	Hidden 	Read Only 	System 	Folder Path 	CSIDL 	CSIDL Name 	Environment String Path
Desktop	No	Yes	No	E:\Users\RUBEN7\Desktop	0x10	CSIDL_DESKTOPDIRECTORY	%USERPROFILE%\Desktop 

-get-total-size, with a full path, returns (close to) the expected size?
-get-total-size, with a relative path, returns 0.

-get-total-size, along with -path, returns correct size (17808).

The disk space allocation of an NTFS volume may appear to be misreported for any of the following reasons:

The NTFS volume's cluster size is too large for the average-sized files that are stored there.
File attributes or NTFS permissions prevent Windows Explorer or a Windows command prompt from displaying or accessing files or folders.
The folder path exceeds 255 characters.
Folders or files contain invalid or reserved file names.
NTFS metafiles (such as the Master File Table) have grown, and you cannot de-allocate them.
Files or folders contain alternate data streams.
NTFS corruption causes free space to be reported as in use.
Other NTFS features may cause file-allocation confusion.

Everything 1.5 does not grant ES access to the shell: function.
es does not have enough privileges to expand shell: links.
I will allowing shell: access from ES in the next alpha update.

-get-total-size, with a full path, returns (close to) the expected size?

There might be another folder starting with E:\Users\RUBEN7\Desktop ?
Please try the following search:

es "E:\Users\RUBEN7\Desktop\" -get-total-size

(note the trailing slash in the path)

-get-total-size, with a relative path, returns 0.

This is expected, use -path .


Does anyone know a tool to expand shell:desktop from a command prompt?
Everything has:
es folder: shell:desktop -sort path -n 1
(this is pretty hacky).

oes anyone know a tool to expand shell:desktop from a command prompt?

es folder: shell:desktop -sort path -n 1
(this is pretty hacky).

I was looking or that some time ago, but could not find anything (shell::::{guid}::{another guid} , etc. doesnt work)

However ..
After fixing calling shell: function from ES, wfn:shell:desktop should give the desired result (in Everything 1.5).

:shell: == ... interesting..

Everything 1.5.0.1273a will now allow es to execute the shell: function.

Code: Select all

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

C:\BIN>es.bat -get-total-size C:\USR\STEVEN\P\2P\X.COURTS\X
19824

C:\BIN>es.bat -get-total-size C:\USR\STEVEN\P\2P\X.COURTS\X\
17808

So X\ is correct, but just what is happening there?
I certainly have other X directories, but not other full-path C:\USR\STEVEN\P\2P\X.COURTS\X.

[NotNull]

there might be a file- or foldername that *starts* with C:\USR\STEVEN\P\2P\X.COURTS\X, like:
C:\USR\STEVEN\P\2P\X.COURTS\X123.txt

Code: Select all

T:\>md folder

T:\>echo some text > folder\file.txt

T:\>es.exe t:\folder -gettotalsize
12

T:\>echo something else > folder123.txt

T:\>es.exe t:\folder
T:\folder
T:\folder\file.txt
T:\folder123.txt

T:\>es.exe t:\folder -gettotalsize
29
