It is not possible to use its functionality through the Everything service in TC, It popoup a windows what everything is not be installed.

Everything version: 1.5.0.1311x64
Windows 11 x64
TC 10.50 x64

And why should that be an TC bug ?
TC needs the Everything client and nothing else.
This Everything client may be configured to query an Everything server.

There is a summary on the subject of Everything Server here.
Personally, however, I have no experience with this topic.

[ghisler(Author)]

I have read the description of the Everything Server, and it only seems to be some kind of aggregator or exchange of data collected by multiple Everything clients. It's not meant to be contacted directly. In fact, the connections between it and the Everything clients are encrypted.
The server runs as its own service, which is not the same as the Everything Service running on the clients.

Just out of interest:
What do you see at the top of the first few lines when you call up the following in Everything 1.5a -> Tools - Debug - Console?
- With Ctrl+a you can copy the text content from the console window.
- Tools - Debug - Console <- untick closes the console window

For example, in my portable Everything installation it looks like this:

Code: Select all

Everything
Version 1.5.0.1312a (x64)
Windows NT 10.0
Processors 8
IsAdmin 0
AppData 0
Service 1
cmdline C:\Tools\Everything\Everything64.exe -startup

The settings under Tools - Options... - General would also be interesting.

Code: Select all

- Run as administrator
- Everything Service

What status do these options show?
- Square-checked: (indeterminate)
- Tick-checked:
- unchecked
- Please see these pictures

Does Total Commander have this or a similar entry in the wincmd.ini under the [Configuration] section?

Code: Select all

Everything=C:\Tools\Everything\Everything64.exe -startup

If you started TC as an administrator, then this TC option would cause Everything to be started as an administrator as well.
If Everything is running as an administrator and the Everything Service is running at the same time(!), then there is usually
a problem with Everything, i.e. this constellation should be avoided in any case!

Please check your settings and then let us know if you were able to solve your problem.

thanks for the suggestion

I test every combos for launch the TC and everything, I back it to ver 1.4, TC can work fine. that the problem may be cause by everything 1.5

If it works with Everything 1.4, then you are missing the required setting(s) for Everything 1.5a.

Please see here: 13. SETTINGS: For 'Everything' in Total Commander & 'Everything' -> from 'Everything' Version 1.5
There are currently 3 ways to establish the connection between Everything 1.5a and Total Commander:

1. Pt. 13.1.b.1. wincmd.ini [Configuration] UseEverythingInstance=1.5a ... AND ... Everything.ini: alpha_instance=1
   -OR-
2. Pt. 13.2.b. Everything.ini --> Everything-1.5a.ini: alpha_instance=0 --> Disable 1.5a Instance
   -OR-
3. Pt. 13.2.c. File: NO_ALPHA_INSTANCE - Step-by-step instructions(!)
   One file WITHOUT content and WITHOUT file extension in the Everything programme directory
   (this is where the file "Everything64.exe" [or "Everything.exe"] is located). That is my preferred variant.

Furthermore, there are [important] notes on OPTIONAL settings.

Since this isn't a bug in TC, I'm moving this thread to the English forum.
