solved [TC 11.03] Searching with 'Everything' finds hidden/system files even when showing them is diasabled

[petermad]

If displaying hidden and/or system files is disabled, such files will be found anyway if 'Everything' is enabled. When 'Everything' is disabled, these files will not be found.

I think this can be problematic, if the user rely on hidden/system files not to be shown.

Adding Everything options while using ev: or ed: allows working around.
!h !s

In Everything itself, this options can be added to filters
to make them default.

Adding Everything options while using ev: or ed:

I am not talking about using ev: or ed: I am referring to just plain enabeling the 'Everything' box in the Find Files dialog.

There are two cases to distinguish here:
1. The file has one of the attributes for which files aren't shown (e.g. hidden). In this case I agree that the file shouldn't be found, because it wouldn't be visible when using "go to file".
2. The subdirectory in which the file is located has the attribute, but th file doesn't. In this case I think that the file should be found, because "Everything" is a global search (although it can be restricted to a base directory).

I will therefore only change 1, but put a note about 2 in the help.

This should be fixed in Total Commander 11.50 beta 1, please check it!

10.07.24 Fixed: When searching with Everything, exclude files with hidden and/or system attribute if files with that attribute aren't being displayed (32764)

Confirmed fixed in TC 11.50b1

Also confirmed addition to the Help:

Note: When files with hidden and / or system attribute aren't shown, Everything will still find files in hidden/system subfolders, but the regular search will not.
