Length of some audio file formats is not shown [BUG]

[Thy Grand Voidinesss]

Recently I have indexed the Length parameter for all of my files - but only some formats revealed their time duration. Those are [that I know of]:

FLAC
MP3
OGG
WAV


The ones [that I know of] that do not show their Length in the column are:

APE
MID
MOD
M4A
MP2
MPC
S3M
SAP
TTA
WMA
WV

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

Please check what file types you are indexing under Tools -> Options -> Properties -> Length -> Include only files.

Please change "Include only files" to include your desired file types.
-or-
Clear "Include only files" to include all file types.



Everything will need 8 bytes to store the length value for each included file.

Gathering length for all files types will take a really really long time.
Even when the file doesn't contain a length, it will still take some time to check.

I recommend indexing only the desired file types for improved indexing speed and less RAM usage.



The default Include only files for length is:
*.flac;*.mp3;*.wav;*.ogg;*.mkv;*.mp4;*.avi;*.flv;*.webm

I did see that and had set-up to my liking - but then something went wrong and I forgot to recheck this

I will - and I will see how it goes from there

Aside from container; mp3, wav, m4a, wma... the actual codec may or may not be supported, in which case Length may or may not show up for a particular file.


(And again, for those files that Length is not seen, does Windows Explorer see Length?)

It did not help, as e.g. APE, MP2, TTA and WV still do no reveal their Length

It does not


So this point to the issue of [them not being of] known type, right? [viewtopic.php?p=57111#p57111]

Correct.

You will need a third party property handler to see length for ape, mp2, tta, wv etc..

[Thy Grand Voidinesss]

So this is a sole fault of the operating system? Of that Windows Property System?

[void]

I wouldn't say fault.

These properties are not supported out of the box on Windows.

[Thy Grand Voidinesss]

So if for example Mp3tag at the same time shows Length for these aforementioned file formats without a sweat, then it means it has a built-in property handler; or some metadata extraction capability?

Would it be too much to ask of you @void for inclusion of a similar solution to this question in Everything?

[void]

Everything will support common types (types that will open in a webbrowser)

I am working on adding more types.

I am considering mediainfo support in a future version of Everything.

Thank you for the suggestion.
