pseverything and everything 1.5

[jimspoon]

The Powershell module pseverything communicates with the Everything 1.4 service but not the Everything 1.5 service. Has anybody found a way to get it to work with the Everything 1.5 service?

Did you contact https://github.com/powercode/PSEverything/issues ?

Whats the purpose of communication with the Everything service ?
Why not using the command line tool es.exe or the results on the screen from the Everythibng GUI.

I'm a Powershell noob but I think the advantage of a Powershell cmdlet (like the search-everything cmdlet in the pseverything module) is that it returns objects instead of text. Although in the case of search-everything, it returns String objects, but it you pipe that output to Get-Item, Get-Item returns Fileinfo objects. Now it might be possible that if you piped output from ex.ese to Get-Item, Get-Item could also convert that output to Fileinfo objects, I'll have to test that.

I piped the output of es.exe to get-item and get-item returned FileInfo objects. Not sure how, or if it's as good as piping from the search-everything cmdlet, but it did work.

The Everything SDK/IPC is backwards compatible with Everything 1.5.
However, Everything 1.5 is currently in alpha and runs in a 1.5a instance.

If you are not using Everything 1.4, please try disabling the 1.5a instance:

• In Everything, from the File menu, click Exit.
• From the Start menu, search for: notepad
• Right click Notepad and click Run as administrator.
• In Notepad, from the File menu, click Open.
• Select your Everything-1.5a.ini in the same location as your Everything.exe and click Open.
• Change the following line:
  /alpha_instance=1
• to:
  /alpha_instance=0
• Restart Everything.
• pseverything should now work.

It worked! Thank you very much!
