You need ES.exe -- the Everything Command-line Interface --for that.

With that installed:

Code: Select all

es.exe   root:  -export-efu "c:\some folder\export.efu"
(I used root: instead of parent:)

What happens?

Is anything shown in the command prompt after running ES?

OK, missed that this was in the Everything 1.5 forum.
In that case, the following should work:

Code: Select all

es.exe   -instance 1.5a  root:  -export-efu "c:\some folder\export.efu"
(Everything 1.5 must be running)


What is exactly is "not working"? Do you get an error message? What is the content of the output file?

start "" "C:\n.a.d\small fix apps\ES\es.exe" -instance 1.5a -descendant-count root: -export-csv "M:\n.a.d\everything databases\vc\efu after mount\vc efu root.csv"
size column is working
but custom columns like "descendant count" i think are not available for es.

ES doesn't support properties yet.

This is on my TODO list.
