Hello

I don't know if anybody reported this, but I can't make Everything search to produce only file name output. "Use Full Path" is always checked and if I disable it it doesn't make a difference.

Without it Everything search is pretty much unusable since long paths prevent the file name to be seen.

Thx.

Hi:

Excellent plugin.
But I found something --- when I search for file like *.rar or *.zip, and press enter(or double click) on search result list, the FSE does not lead me to the real file path, instead, it open this file. why it happened?
I found the files FSE opened are which registered by other WCX plugins. files does not registered by WCX plugins can go to real path correctly.

Is it a bug? or I miss something?

Waiting for your reply, and thanks a lot.

From the search list, if you want to jump to the file, you can use the [ctrl]+[left] or [ctrl]+[right] the arrow key show where you want to jump to the file.

Yes I know. But why I can not jump to file directly? Does it design for?

I agree, it should jump directly. You can use AHK to make it happen tho...

Does jump to the file directly if you click on it ?

Anyways, just came across this. Giving a shout-out to MGP. Awesome stuff :-)

First thank you for this great plugin! It is very useful since internal TC search is damn slow.

I use it with locate32 and it works fine. But an option to update locate32 database would be good. I don't use locate32 as standalone application and I dont' want to update database manually. Also I don't want to leave locate32 running in background.

Database update procedure is very fast and takes only one second for my 3 local drives. Can you make an option to update database before every search? This would be very helpful.

This is not exactly what I wanted, but it works fine. thanks

Anyhow maybe you consider later to integrate a background database update out of FSE.

You can create a user command like em_FSE

Code: Select all

command: CD
parameters: \\\FSE\
icon: %commander_path%\addon\FSE\FSEStart.exe
And after reuse it in a button or define a keyboard shortcut.

Or directly drag and drop the following code in your toolbar to create a button.

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
CD
\\\FSE\New Search
%commander_path%\addon\FSE\FSEStart.exe

Can't copy or move files from result

Post by *GeniuZ »

Hello, I use Everything as search engine.
When result is displayed, I can do F3 (view), F4 (edit) on files,
but I can't F5 (copy) or F6 (move) them.
For example result is one file "C:/found.txt"
When I do F5 to D:, this path appears: D:\C:/found.txt
Next, "Error downloading file" dialog appears.
In result filenames, backslashes is / and not \

For using it with Everything, first I have to launch Everything. How to make the plugin to auto launch Everything or can we set Everything path like locate32?

You can let Everything run in background, then FSE will detect it without need to set path. Run Everything in background will take 20M RAM, but it is light on cpu time, compare to start everything every time when you search, I think it acceptable.
