Hej icfu, glad you like it. You can expect miracles from me, just buy me some time :D

Yeah its EditPlus, portable version by me. Just say a word.
I got it to work, RTFM helped!
There is no FM. Several lines of usage text, I'll add detiled information for final (1.0) version. It works the same as Rajat's "inspirational" script. Be aware it is still in the test phase but I think it is pretty good like it is now. Feel free to send me any comments or wishes on AHK forum.

And thanx for trying it.
Habemus majkam!

Yeah, that's what I meant with the freakin' manual! :)

Before I have had the idea to read your instructions I had wondered about your script sleeping permanently, had copied the AHK help file to the script dir, had copied the script files to AHK dir, had not saved editor file as .ahk so no .ahk was in title, etc... You know, all those funny things that dumbfcks do when they have no clue. ;)

Maybe we just should put a link here, as it was mentioned in this forum already, just not in this thread:
[OT] Good PIM software recommendations...?

This one is incredible, needs admin rights though:
http://ndff.hotbox.ru/en/index.html
NDFF is command-line utility that performs extra fast file searching on local NTFS partition. The main advantage over any other file searching tool currently available (including the one found in Windows Explorer) that it looks for file directly in MFT, which is system data table of NTFS. This approach lets avoid reading all the directories contained on the volume, thus speeding up the operation by many times. For example, my 30 GB large partition full of files and directories is scanned in less than 10 seconds, while it takes several minutes to scan it in traditional way.
Icfu told me, that this functionality will be built in in Locate!

Nice. :)
A plug-in for locate32 becomes more and more interesting.

NDFF's concept sounds great but i can't confirm the performance:

Command:

Code: Select all

ndff.exe *.exe -d c: -de -JP -sP
Total file records: 431024
Scanned 132581 filerecords in 71.547 sec

Normal TC search (*.exe on C) ca 30 sec

Anyone with a different experience?

Reboot and try your search in TC again. I bet it will be many minutes, or you have a caching process that reads the entire directory structure into the windows cache.

I disabled my antivirus and some other stuff and rebooted. Same results. A second search in TC completes in under 10 seconds. Are you achieving better results?

Well, I just tried it, it installed my registry full with crap custom controls, and looks horrible.
It lived about 10 minutes on my system here, and wiped it ;-)

No, much worse, ndff clearly beats TC in searching speed here. Well, I didnt search for all exe files yet, so lets see...

...
Scanned 115448 filerecord(s) in 27.359 s.
Found 3198 file(s), 0 directory(ies), 0 alternate path(s).

TC can no way beat that result. I cannot test now, I just wiped Frigate here with Total Uninstall, so my system is cached, TC would clearly be fast now.
