Length is rarely shown for audio files in Recycle Bin [RESOLVED]

Post by Thy Grand Voidinesss »

Recently I have indexed the Length parameter for all of my file- but almost all of audio files that are in Recycle Bin do not show their time duration. And I cannot see pattern causing this


I am using Everything 1.5.0.1346a x64 Portable on Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2

Everything will use the Windows Property System to gathering the length value.

The associated Windows Property System handler might be unable to gather values from files in the recycle bin.

If the system doesn't return a length value, Everything will fall back to a known type.

Is the file type in this list of known types?

I was suspecting, based on the default FiIters, that something like this exists in Everything and might affect his. But I had reported this only because I saw it happening for common basic audio formats

And to answer you question precisely: it happens for known types; e.g. FLAC and WAV

I am experiencing some Matrix like glitches in regards to this in a broader sense. But I think I need first to restore my system from an image, deal with this issue viewtopic.php?p=57083#p57083, wipe my Recycle Bin clean - and only then do some tests before I say what and how is happening

Please be aware that Everything shows the true physical files in your recycle bin.

Each item in the recycle bin has two physical files.
$r* for file data.
$i* for file information. (contains the original filename)

Length will only be shown for the $r* files.

(I have Length for video files, & for any video file that that can display Length, the same holds true for the same file in $recycle.bin.)

almost all of audio files that are in Recycle Bin do not show their time duration
Do those same files show duration in Windows Explorer?

[now irrelevant] question- the answer is: no [viewtopic.php?p=57202#p57202]


So this is not a bug


Thank you for your help, as I would not have figured it out on my own
