Not in Everything 1.5.

I may add support for arrays in Everything 1.6.

I have plans for an Everything 1.6 version.

However, I need to release Everything 1.5 first.

Not sure what you are thinking of here, could you explain?

For example in Excel you could have a range with filenames in one column, size in another column. Each row would have a filename value and a size value. Then Everything could search for all files having a filename and size combination shown in any row of the range. I guess this is what you mean? It's an interesting idea.

Phew. I was checking regularly to see if a new version past .83a, but now I'll wait for 1.6.

Glad this tool exists and to see that support continues made my day. I'm currently unemployed, but even for personal files this tool is an amazing time-saver. (I shudder to think what my former group is doing now using only OS tools, but not my problem!) Going to Donate page now.

The main reason why I suggested arrays is because, instead of syntaxes working on files/folders line by line, if instead it works on a single or multiple property on chunks of duplicates, I think that is more useful. For example, find all dupes by size, and for each 'dupe' find the earliest date created..etc...etc...

if you really think about it, when everything results is disolayed for a search, it really looks like a wxcel spreadsheet, its just missing grids, therefore combining excel functions with everything search functions would extend the best of both software capabilities and I think this is an area where everything would benefit from and excel (pun not intended)

I am working on the final changes to Everything 1.5.

Thank you for your support wistlo.
