Sort

Post by nagan »

Using 653b x 86 . I made a sort for size and after it is done , immediately sorted for date modified (or any column). It does seem to add up some more incremental time ,say 5s whereas in 649b the second sorting (any column) was immediate. I checked that too as I write...

I will look into optimizing this.

After sorting for size , if I attempted to sort by "Type" which I have enabled Everything crashes. I have made a few unicode files with unicode extensions. This happens both in x64 and x86.


It seems you have changed the working of "Sort". In this version I find it also a little slower added to the delay in the successive sorts which I have already mentioned.(x64 and x86)

Sorting by sizes, dates, types and attributes has been completely rewritten for 653.
Thanks for pointing out the type sort crash.

I am working on optimizing the sort, it should be the same speed as before.

I hope to release an update very soon.

656b x 86
The sorting have come back to their original speed and successive sorts are immediate! Only the type column takes up a marginal increment of time.

I will look at optimizing type name sorting to match previous speeds.

x64
1.I made a search dc:<2002 and in a haste pressed Enter , leading to the obfuscating of Everything Window had to close and restart. (Not repeatable again strangely , when I tried that later. No idea what could have caused it)

2. After restarting Everything I made a search again of dc:<2002 , it seemed taking very long. Cancelled the query and did a sort of "Date created". Once again it seemed to take ages and surprisingly the processor was showing Everything at 5% when usually it is above > 25% in my system. Finally it did sort but was slow.

3.I closed and restarted Everything. Behavior 2 is not repeatable. The sort is fast.

This is for info only and to report there are strange time(s) when Everything does not take up fast with the processor.

x86
Today on restarting I pressed to sort by size.It was immensely slow combined with high disk usage and low processor use.This one strikes at random and am not able to replicate it , when after closing ET and restarting size sort is normal. Perhaps the user who had written about sorting with filters would also have got into this behavior...

Do you have any folder indexes that may be offline?

Yes. The Pen drive which I often connect and disconnect.

Offline folders could be causing the slow caching of extended file information.

x86
Started Windows ,I have just made ET(Everything) run. I clicked on size sort. Once again very negligible processor usage by ET , and also immense HDD flicker throughout ,like the Hard drive is scanned while building a database. I stopped it after say 50 sec , closed Everything , restarted and did the size sort , which is now normal and fast within 15 seconds. So I wonder what could have changed within 2 sessions of Everything.

Since I could observe the behavior in x64 too at random , the cause is there...
What could trigger a database build? or disk access when a sorting is attempted , because if it were an issue with offline drive , Hard disk would not have been scanned..

Next time perhaps I will attempt a debug mode in XP if it is still required.....
EDIT
THis time I got it in WIn 7 x64. After resuming , I closed the running instance of ET , started the debug mode and attempted the size sort , which nearly took 3 minutes.Later I clicked on some other column to ensure whether the successive sort was fast , and it was fine..
Slow sort.

Thanks for the debug output.

Since Everything does not index sizes and dates, this information must be gather from the disk.

You should see disk activity the first time your sort by size, date or attributes.
Everything does cache this information while the window is opened.
Windows will also cache this information, so closing the search window and reopening it and performing a sort will be quite fast.
Windows will throw out this cache if it's old or low on memory.

There does seem to be an issue with live locking in 657b which could be causing the sort to do nothing for an extended period of time.
I hope to post a fix soon.

I am not too sure I have seen the disk activity in Sorting in 649b , which always yielded fast results even when I ran it immediately on starting ET.

So it appears , ET will always read the disk if a query or sort is made , immediately at the start of ET.During those times , I checked the Disk Read Speed from PE , which put it at around 350 to 450 K . Could that be enhanced or it has its limitation because of the number of files it has to read rather than a bulk file.

Yes, this is the expected behavior.
It is currently not very fast.

I have implemented basic support for reading this information directly from the MFT on NTFS volumes, however this is still in early alpha, I hope to add this in a future release.

I want to rewrite the db code so Everything will index this information instead of caching it when displayed, sorting or searching with a size: query.

As for folder indexes, they will always be slow to index.

Re: Sort

Just a suggestion
If instead of closing ET , I minimise to the Taskbar after a size sort say , any number of sorting and query is immediate thereafter. But if I closed it and were to be recalled from the systray , there is a slight delay in further query or sort with CPU usage. Can the connection with the cache be maintained even if it is closed to the systray if it is technically possible , because I do not see any significant amount of RAM difference say 10MB in XP between those two states.Perhaps at least as a choice....

When you close the window,the window is destroyed and when you call it again,the whole window with every element is recreated,the last search(if the option is enabled)is automatically added to the search and a search is performed.

One possible solution for this would be to hide the window rather that destroying it(that way everything wont have to do anything...the icons don't need to be loaded again and the sort order will be like the last time without having to wait for everything to sort the list again)

But again plain hiding will impose a compromise on Home page..? :roll: Then while closing/hiding the sort should be set to Name so that it opens with a clean slate.

I have added the ini option:

Code: Select all

hide_on_close
for the next beta update.

When this is set to 1 and the window is closed, instead of being closed the window is hidden.
The window can be shown by starting Everything.exe or opening a search window from the tray icon.

Showing a hidden window will not open the home page.

Nice...this will be useful for something I wanted to do with Autohotkey(don't remember what was it right now :p )but I couldn't because the window was destroyed when I close it.

I just checked with some filters , modifiers and then called the Home page thru a bookmark which is loaded default with no accessories. Still the cache is maintained and the queries are immediate. But just for information I do have come across certain applications (like Syncback -SE) which on "Window close" do a little more of work like say exporting some inf files and then close. So I was wondering if the close button could make ET invoke the home page and then hide so that it appears nothing has changed. By the way the bookmark route is also fine....

Re: Sort

Just curious..
I open Window A and browse ETP files.
Then Window B , do some sort and keep it just ready for immediate query and sort results.
Then Window C , where I browse some files with filters and modifiers on.

Also I find In Window C which opens after "B" were I do some query it is a high speed , high CPU search when attempted for the first time.

So if I close the windows in the order A B C or C B A , how do they open from the systray. If
close is what is intended , then I need not expect all the windows to open. If ET could identify which window was the most linked to the cache and opens that , might be ideal?

Each window has it's own cache.

The window with the last focus will be shown/unhidden from the system tray.
If ET could identify which window was the most linked to the cache and opens that , might be ideal?
The user might want the cache of the ETP connection from window A?
No cache will be lost when hiding/un-hiding windows, so it shouldn't matter.
