Really Useful Set of Bookmark Searches 2.5 for Everything 1.5A

[Michi]

@zonetrooperex

May I assume that those bookmarks are fitted specifically to you Windows installation?

I see many bookmarks that do exclude folders named FileHistory or similar. I guess I can safely remove those folder names or adapt them to my needs, correct?

[horst.epp]

The FileHistory parts are not specific to the posters system.
They are usefull if you have enabled Windows versioning
and you don't want to see the old versions of a searched file.

[Michi]

Ah, OK thanks for those details!

[ChrisGreaves]

Suggestions for more crap-extensions are welcome [/b]
!FileHistory\ ext:$$$;gpk;asd;dmp;~;tmp;~bk;old;

Hi kazzybash. If by "crap" you mean transient files no longer useful, here is my embryonic set of masks:-

Code: Select all

~*.*
Erase*.*
Backup of*.*
*.wbk
*.bak

I generally delete these files after my nightly backup to an external USB drive.

Cheers, Chris

Version 2.2 is out:

• Added Miscellaneous category
• Some minor organization fixes
• Added some new bookmarks (dealing with file cleanup)

[ChrisGreaves]

[*]I've created a bunch of really useful in-app bookmarked searches for Everything

Code: Select all

Name,Type,Folder,Case,Whole Word,Path,Diacritic,Prefix,Suffix,Ignore Punctuation,Ignore Whitespace,Regex,Search,Filter,Columns,Sort,Descending,View,Index,File List,Host,Link Type,Macro,Key,Icon
...

[*] Close off Search Everything (including tray icon)
[*] Backup your original Everything "Bookmarks.csv" file in Everything's Roaming Profile. (%APPDATA%\Everything)
[*] Copy and replace using the downloaded file.
[*] Relaunch Search Everything, check the Bookmarks Menu Item.

Hi zonetrooperex. I can't get this to work, and that means I have misunderstood your instructions.
(1) I shut down Everything 1.5.0.1343a(x64)
(2) I pasted the first CODE panel here into a file “B:\Bookmarks20230420.csv”
(3) I renamed my current CSV file to be “Bookmarks-1.5a - Copy.csv.txt” with the txt extension hiding it from Everything’s view.
(4) I copied my “B:\Bookmarks20230420.csv” into the Everything %appdata% folder.
(5) I renamed that “Bookmarks20230420.csv” file to be the original “Bookmarks-1.5a.csv”
(6) At this point I checked the %appdata% folder. My beginner’s CSV file is 1 KB in Windows Explorer; my replacement CSV file is 8 KB, so I believe I have installed your bookmarks correctly.
(7) I edited the INI file to read “menu_folders=1” and saved my changes.
(8) I restarted Everything 1.5a and chose Bookmarks, Show all bookmarks.

(9) But I don’t see an anticipated mammoth set of bookmarks.
We can be confident that I have missed out a step somewhere, but Please and Thank you – where have I gone wrong?
At this stage, I am not too worried about which version of your bookmarks come into view, as long as some bookmarks come into view!

Thanks, Chris

[ToSamJa]

You need to do:
Bookmarks
Show all Bookmarks
and after that you need to use the button import and choose the new .csv file.

Hope this work for you now

ToSamJa , thank you. I was sure I had misunderstood the steps.

Now I can really get myself into trouble
Thanks again.

Please consider adding the following search bookmarks

Completely empty folders (empty: or childcount:0)
Folders with only folders in them (childfilecount:0 childcount:>0)
Folders with only folders including in sub-folders (descendantfilecount:0 childcount:>0) v1.5 only
Folders with more than 1000 files in them (childfilecount:>1000)
Folders with more than x files in them, including files in sub-folders (descendantfilecount:0) v1.5 only

[shodan]

Also please add es:// to the list of valid URL protocols to this phpBB forum ?

https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2382206

[void]

Added support for ES: URLs.

Thank you for the link and suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll consider them in the next version.

I'll wait for Everything 1.5's first full release for the next update.

[BKPB]

How do I rename these labels ? Translate into my language ?

[void]

Translation templates will be available when Everything 1.5 is in beta.

For now, the Everything 1.5 alpha is English only.

[BKPB]

Thank you for your work.

[Thy Grand Voidinesss]

Where is the link to CSV file containing these Bookmarks?

[ToSamJa]

Thy Grand Voidinesss,
You need to create yourself the CSV file, and after that do the import (like explained in the first post)

[zonetrooperex]

Updated to version 2.3

[marcelo colina]

Thanks, fantastically usefull.

[marcelo colina]

An issue, just trying it, when the latest bookmarks used are recorded in the last used menu, they are labeled with the code instead of their name, and it become a very wide menu in the screen.
here is the screenshot

Thank you for the issue report Marcelo Colina,

I will limit the search history text to 64 characters in the next alpha update.

[Thy Grand Voidinesss]

[...]
I will limit the search history text to 64 characters in the next alpha update.

I think that there should be an option for this right above that list and also an option for how many characters to show i.e. let the user decide on the spot in the menu of History if the list should be potentially truncated or not and make it possible for user to define the number of characters by using a setting burred in

Tools > Options > Advanced

with its default value being 260; because 260 is the theoretical limit for length of path in Windows and thus an average user wil rather not be re-searching for a longer path

[zonetrooperex]

Updated to version 2.4.

- Fixed macros clashing with volumes (important fix in 2.4)

[gcrow]

childfile:*.txt addcolumn:child-occurrence-count sort:child-occurrence-count
This will count the number of text files in a folder and its subfolders and creates a column to display them.

[Raindrops]

I have installed your latest bookmarks in Everything 1383a.

But for most of the preset bookmarks, the results panel remains blank.
In all cases, the Everything option is selected in the item type drop-down.
In other words, no filter is applied to the search results.

Here are three examples:

Example-1:
If I select the Bookmarks > Files >Large files menu, or press CTRL+SHFT+9, the address bar shows this entry:
!FileHistory\ file: size:>1gb

The result panel remains blank.

I do have large files on my D:, F:, and G: drives, but they are not shown.
---------------
Example-2:
I selected the Long filenames option.

The address bar shows this entry:
!C:\ !.dat !FileHistory\ file: len:>85
The result panel remains blank.

I reduced the length to 15,
!C:\ !.dat !FileHistory\ file: len:>15

But still there are no results.
--------------------------------------
Example-3:
I selected the Files > Files bookmark.
The address bar shows this entry:
!FileHistory\ file:

I expected it to show all files from all drives (filtering out the folders).

But the result pane shows very few results, most of which are from C:\Windows\WinSxS path.
A couple of them are from C:\Windows\System32 path.
------------------------------------------


What could be wrong?

[void]

Please check the following advanced setting:
allow_exclamation_point_not

[Raindrops]

It is already set to 1.

[void]

Maybe a file: macro was created?

Please try a search for:

file:

Does this find all files?



If not, please try a search for:

::file:

Does this find all files?



Could you please send your Help -> troubleshooting information.

[Raindrops]

The file: command works.

But if I click on the preset bookmarks from your collection, the Results pane is blank.

Even folder-related nodes, such as Folders, and Empty folders also do not work.

Thank you for the troubleshooting information.

Config: ignore_punctuation_type=1

Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> ignore_punctuation_type="Filename and Search" currently breaks all search functions.
I'll look into a fix.

[Raindrops]

Thanks!

BTW, I would like the following additional bookmarks in this collection:
1. Video (mp4, webm, avi, mov, wmv, mkv, flv, etc.)
2. Audio (mp4, m4a, wma, ogg, aac, MIDI, wav, etc.)
3. docs (pdf, doc, docx, txt, epub, odt, odp, ppt, pptx, pps, xls, xlsx, rtf, txt, CSV, azw3, chm, mobi, etc.)
4. Images (tiff, bmp, png, jpg, gif, etc.)
5. Archives (zip, 7z, rar, etc.)
6. Executables (exe, msi, jar, bat, etc.)

I know I can create my own bookmarks, but if these are created in this set, everyone will benefit!

[zonetrooperex]

Version 2.5 is out! (updated: 1st of Sept, 2024)

[maxfactor]

Regarding Organize Bookmarks I world like to suggest the following features

Skip duplicates when importing
Add a description field
Search inside the Search column as well

[void]

Skip duplicates when importing

I will consider an option to skip/overwrite duplicates and a remove duplicates feature.

Add a description field

This is on my TODO list for a future version of Everything.

Search inside the Search column as well

I will trial this in the next alpha update.



Thank you for the suggestions.
