QuickSearch eXtended

[Hacker]

Hello Samuel,

First you need to use the "wdx_separator_char=/" before 100

This does not work. Is the separator char not used only for searching in the next wdx group (according to tcmatch.pdf)?

wdx_text_plugin1=ISO@c:\Programy\Totalcmd\Plugins\Content\Exif\exif.wdx

This does help, thank you. Do I always need to specify the WDX plugins I intend to use as "wdx_text_pluginN"?

And last question - how can I best differ between searching in filenames and occasionally in the ISO? I have defined:

Code: Select all

[wdx]
debug_output=1
wdx_text_plugin1=ISO@c:\Programy\Totalcmd\Plugins\Content\Exif\exif.wdx
wdx_groups=|1

so I can search only filenames normally and only ISO values when prepending a "/", however, when not using the WDX search, just searching through filenames, the search is very slow compared to searching without having any WDX defined in the ini.

TIA
Roman

When I downlaod the zip, I get the file

Code: Select all

_QuickSearch eXtended 1.6.0.zip_

- yes, with underlines. It is easy to rename it, but is there a deeper sense in it?

Yes this is how I designed it.

so I can search only filenames normally and only ISO values when prepending a "/", however, when not using the WDX search, just searching through filenames, the search is very slow compared to searching without having any WDX defined in the ini.

It should not be slow if you use "wdx_groups=|1" and when the searchstring contains no "/". I will examine it.

I also mentioned this. But it seems there is nothing I can do. You may use IE...

[Samuel]

I investigated. This is what I do:
- send "ContentSetDefaultParams" and "ContentGetSupportedField" at startup and send "ContentPluginUnloading" on exit

- send "ContentSendStateInformation" if directory changes also for wdx entrys that are not in use. - perhaps problems with branchview and ftp.
- call "GetFileAttributes" of file to check if its valid also every time.
- send "ContentGetValue" if value is needed.


There should be only 1 call to "ContentSendStateInformation" an normal directory. Perhaps more than one on branch view and ftp dir.
Perhaps the additional calls to "GetFileAttributes" slow it down.

You may use "debug_output=3" to see what calls are done...

You could look into the source yourself if you like...

Samuel,
OK, I found out the biggest delay is caused by the actual logging itself. Compare debug_output=3 vs. debug_output=0 when using wdx and searching just for filenames. It takes about five seconds in a dir of 347 files.

With debug_output=0 and having some wdx defined in tcmatch.ini, the filename search is much faster, but still perceivably slower than without any wdx defined. It seems as if QSX was still doing something with the defined wdx plugins even when the search does not use them.

the reason i did not use it for long, is that once the search window shows, it never timeouts unless you ESC or ENTER. that's why i use TC's built in Letter-only search.

[Samuel]

The described behavior has nothing to do with my custom matching algorithm QSx. It should also work like this with TCs standard matching algorithm.

You could use my algorithm as well in Letter-only search.

[st]

it works in letter-only search, mostly.
but pinyin does not work that way.

[Samuel]

Just tried it, and it really seem to behave different.

@Christian:
Why didn't u use the new filter for letter only search mode? Is there a reason for it?
Or did I something wrong?

Because there is no way to toggle the mode (no visible button).

good plugin, thanks.

Hello Samuel,

installed your great add-on on TC 7.55 (now public beta 2) on Server 2008 R2 x64 German.

Every time I enter a | - which is done pressing Alt Gr < on my German keyboard I get <| in the quick search field instead of | - this is not a too big problem, but a bit annoying.

What can I do to get simply a | without that < before ?

In every other input field pressing Alt Gr < produces a | - as expected there ...

Thanks a lot !
Jo ...

[Samuel]

There is nothing I can do, because this box is completely created and handled by TC.

2Christian:
I can confirm that when I press AltGr+| in Quicksearch-Window it results in "<|" if I use Ctrl+Alt+Letters to activate Quicksearch. (Win 7)

As a workaround you could change the mode in Configuration > Quicksearch either to "Alt+Letters" or to "Letters with search dialog". (I prefer the latter) There everything works as expected.
You may also choose another char as the "or-separator".

Updated first post: Version 2.0.0 is available.

Code: Select all

Version 2.0.0
 - Added an additional user interface, to choose the search mode, change most important search options and to use presets
 - Added an user interface to customize all options beside the content plugin options. (they still need to be changed in the ini)
 - Improved the speed, when content plugins are activated but not used. (thanks Hacker)
 - Added ini option "wdx_cache" to allow caching of content plugin searches.
 - Reworked the readme.
 - Added German readme and language for user interface.

I proudly present a user interface. Tell me if you have any problems with it. I would also like to hear suggestions.

The user interface is written in AutoHotkey. (See source)
I didnt get Unicode IniRead/IniWrite in Ahk to work.
So the current version only can handle ANSI files.

Currently 2 languages are supported:

Could you add one more tab for WDX plugins configuration?
