Big Folder - Unable Open Windows Explorer - DEBUG LOG

[Debugger]

The folder cannot be opened if it is huge. I click open open no reaction.
How can I solve this problem? The problem only occurs with the largest folder with 14k files inside.~
~ 71GB !!! size
The problem also occurs in applications/tool based on "MFT" (Master Seeker or UltraSearch) or Java Explorer.
In Windows Explorer and Total Commander this problem does not occur

Vers. 1.4.1.969 (x64)
Windows 7 64-b

How can I solve this problem?

With these settings you can double click on the folder in 'Everything' and
it will then be opened automatically in Total Commander in the active window.

[Debugger]

However, I prefer the standard Win Explorer...
And TC was just an example ...
I'm most interested in why Everything has restrictions on opening such large folders ...

What do you mean with Open a folder in Everything ?
Everything doesn't open any folder by itself, it just shows a list of files and folders.
Any Open happens with Windows Explorer by default or any other configured file manager.

What are your settings in 'Everything' under:

Code: Select all

Menu "Tools" - "Options..." - "General: Context Menu" - "Open (Folders)" --> Command:

when trying to open large folders?

[Debugger]

$exec("%1")

[tuska]

$exec("%1")

Well, this is the default setting ... for opening folders in Windows Explorer.
So a double click on a folder in 'Everything' should open that folder in Windows Explorer.

If that doesn't happen, you can try to open the folder in Total Commander, with this setting in Everything:

Code: Select all

$exec("Path\To\TOTALCMD64.EXE" /O /A /S "%1")

You have to change the path to the file TOTALCMD64.EXE.

If that does not work either, then we need an expert...

PS:
I have no problem with a folder with 175 GB after double clicking on the folder in 'Everything'
to open it immediately in Windows Explorer or Total Commander.

[Debugger]

Try to understand. Actually, it's not about the size of the folder, but what's in one folder.
Please do not confuse with subfolders in the folder.
Put 20,000 files, e.g. mp3 in only one folder larger than 70 GB.
And try to open it.
Oh then you will be surprised.

[tuska]

Sorry, I cannot create such a test scenario due to a lack of sufficient files.

I understand your information as follows:
1. You can open the 71 GB folder directly in Windows Explorer and Total Commander
2. You double click on this folder in 'Everything' and it will NOT open in Windows Explorer [and in Total Commander?]
Is this correct?

For testing purposes please use the latest 'Everything' Beta Nightly Build Version 1.4.1.984 (x64)
and report whether the problem persists.

[tuska]

I cannot help you with this problem, but it would be very interesting,
whether a double click on the folder will open it in Total Commander Version 9.51.

Could you please still try this in version 1.4.1.984 (x64) with this parameter:

Code: Select all

$exec("Path\To\TOTALCMD64.EXE" /O /A /S "%1")

Thank you!

[Debugger]

$exec("C:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.EXE" /O /A /S "%1")

Work

[tuska]

$exec("C:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.EXE" /O /A /S "%1")

Work

I am glad to hear that with Total Commander it works.
Thanks again!

[Debugger]

tuska - This error/bug is caused by the folder name

If the FOLDER Name contains a name

Code: Select all

E:\poky

or

Code: Select all

E:\POKY

unable to open folder in Explorer



For tests I changed the name to

Code: Select all

E:\1

and it opens here correctly
this confirms that the name causes this opening problem



Of course, this only applies when there are many elements (9800) with this specific folder name "POKY" OR "ROKY" etc.!!!

[Debugger]

No response from developers?
Why the file name causes problems with opening, I say it once and it is not Unicode, only the English foldername. [A-Z]
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/pl/dic ... glish/poky

[NotNull]

EDIT: POXY should be POKY. Too much work to replace it all ...

I tried to reproduce the issue, so I:
- created 10.000 folders (POXY_1_POXY ... POXY_10000_POXY) and filled POXY_5000_POXY with 15.000 files. [1]
- Started Everything
- Searched for POXY_5000
- Double-clicked the folder POXY_5000_POXY

Result:
File Explorer opened normally, albeit a little slower than usual.


I guess there are more factors in play here, other than the POXY foldername or the amount of folders/files. Maybe a virus-/malware scanner?

There is a difference between Explorer the filemanager and Explorer the shell/desktop.
Opening a folder from Everything has more similarities with opening it through Explorer the shell.
What happens if you open the Run-box (Win + R), type your POXY foldername and press ENTER? Does it open the folder in Explorer (the file manager)?


You can also try to open File Explorer in different way:
Enter the following Open (Folder) command: $exec(c:\windows\explorer.exe "%1")


And another question:
Are you running Everything as administrator or as a restricted user + Everything Service (see Menu:Tools > Options > General)



[1] Created using these 2 CMD commands:

Code: Select all

for /l %x in (1,1,10000) do @md manyfiles\POXY_%x_POXY
for /l %x in (1,1,15000) do @echo.> manyfiles\POXY_5000_POXY\file_%x.txt

( TEsted with Everything 1.4.1.976 x64 @ Win10 1909 )

[Debugger]

NotNull
General
[x] Run as administrator
[ ] Everything Service

You can also try to open File Explorer in different way:
Enter the following Open (Folder) command: $exec(c:\windows\explorer.exe "%1")

With this command it opens correctly

With this command it opens correctly

Good.

What about this?

What happens if you open the Run-box (Win + R), type your POXY foldername and press ENTER? Does it open the folder in Explorer (the file manager)?

If that didn't open it is an issue outside Everything.

[Debugger]

Win+R
Here it opens without a problem...

[Debugger]

I would like to solve the same problem in MasterSeeker, except that there is no option to type this command.
Unfortunately, the author does not respond to my messages.
Can anyone help?

Then it is still unsure if it is Everything related or not. Probably not, as you have the same issue in other programs.
(but at least you now have a workaround..)

Can't help you.
I am not surprised the author doesn't respond as it looks like MasterSeeker is abandoned (most recent version is from 2014).

My computer went into "Button Windows Start -> Close -> Sleep" mode all the time to start the computer faster.
I just made a clean start of the computer (Normal start) and I see that this error was immediately resolved in the applications.

[Debugger]

And now I remember that a Exlporer shell failure occurred two or three times when I opened the Everything folder on the system
E:\Downloads\Everything.exe

This behavior is caused when the explorer shell temporarily crashes. Of course, on all computers, sometimes the shell can behave this way. Because every system is not completely free of temporary errors and such exceptions occur in the system.

[therube]

Am I understanding correctly, that after a computer reboot, all is now working correctly?
