Cancel current query dialogue

[harryray2]

I've set up another instance of Everything purely for the index journal. I've set the size to 0.

Everything start up OK and starts querying (fairly slowly), which I expected, but if I click on any another window, the Cancel current query dialogue appears.
If I then click wait, the dialogue box reappears every few seconds

Thank you for the issue report harryray2,

Could you please send some debug output?

• The next time you startup this instance, could you please:
• From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Start Debug Logging.
  ---wait for the Cancel current query dialog---
• From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Stop Debug Logging.
  ---this will open your Everything Debug Log.txt in Notepad---
• Could you please send this file to support@voidtools.com

Thanks, problem is, if I wait for the dialogue, I can't use Everything unless I press OK to cancel the query.

Please try launching Everything in debug logging mode:

• Right click your Everything shortcut and click Properties.
• Add -debug-log to the shortcut target, for example:
  Everything.exe -instance journal -debug-log
  The next time you start this instance, could you please:
  ---wait for the Cancel current query dialog---
  From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Stop Debug Logging.
  ---this will open your Everything Debug Log.txt in Notepad---
  Could you please send this file to support@voidtools.com

After sending the debug logs, don't forget to disable debug logging mode:

• Right click your Everything shortcut and click Properties.
• Remove -debug-log to the shortcut target.

Still the same problem...just to double check, -instance journal, journal is just the name that you used? Is there any indication that Everything is in debug logging mode?

-instance journal is just my example.
Use your existing instance name.

If debug logging mode is enabled, Tools -> Debug -> Start Debug Logging is checked.

Yes, thanks, that's what I thought....Debug mode is enabled, but I'm still having the problem with the dialogue box.

The debug logs will show the issue.

Could you please send your Everything Debug Log.txt to support@voidtools.com

Thank you for the debug logs.

The logs show a slow sort was used from a bookmark or filter.

Everything will show the cancel dialog when you try to interact with the results while the database is busy performing a sort.


Please make sure you use a fast sort in your bookmarks/filters (Tools -> Options -> Indexes -> Fast sort)
-or-
Disable opening the bookmark / filter on startup.
