Thank you for helping.Please make sure Everything has access to the file.But for others it opens a new tab with just this: "size:"
-If Everything is running as administrator, Everything will not have access to mapped network drives.
-Is Everything showing [administrator] in the window caption?
Please check the command line sent to Everything:Please make sure the path looks correct, for example:
- In Everything, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click console.
- Perform your context menu -> Find dupes in Everything
- Check your debug console for:
cl: "C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -new-tab -s size:[getsize:"c:\path\to\file.txt"]" "extension:[extension:"c:\path\to\file.txt"]c:\path\to\file.txt
-Please try the path in Windows Explorer to ensure it's valid.
To close the debug console:
- In Everything, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, uncheck console.
Please make sure size indexing is enabled under Tools -> Options -> Indexes.
Please make sure Everything is reporting the correct file size for the file.
[getsize:] will pull the size from your index if available.
If the size information is not available from your index, the size is gathered from disk.Please try the following command:I'd also like to ask for the command to replace the "getsize" command for one to get "length" if that's possible."C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -new-tab -s length:[getproperty:"%1","length"]
(where C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe is your Everything.exe location)
[getsize:]
[getproperty:]
Sorry for the delay, I had to sort out some other issues with other matters and I didn't have time to concentrate on this.
I followed the steps:
Everything is running as Admin.
The drive is not a mapped drive.
Path is correct.
Size is correct.
Index file size is enabled.
After trying with a few files for each drive, I just noticed that the size search seems to work for any file from all drives except one.
I've also tried the command you provided to perform the length search:
"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -new-tab -s length:[getproperty:"%1","length"]But the result is strange. It performs the search (for example: length:"9830000000"), but it finds nothing, not even the original file from which I made the search.
