INDEX PROPERTIES

[kosp]

hello to all
i wanted to ask about index properties
when i choose some properties to index for example on videos it doesnt index all the properties , so videos are left blank
how to address the blank fills and index all the properties?
do i have to use windows properties as well along side everything properties?
for example the length or duration of a video even though its a number that exists doesnt show on all videos in the properties bar
why is that happening? how can i index all properties and not have gaps

thank you

Everything can take a long time to index video properties.

Progress is shown in the status bar on the right.
Please make sure Everything has finished indexing properties.



Everything will automatically gather properties for the initial index and when a file is modified.
You might see blank properties if the file goes offline.
Please select the files with blank properties and press Ctrl + F5.



What properties are you indexing?
Shown under Help -> Troubleshooting information -> properties.
(near the bottom)

do i have to use windows properties as well along side everything properties?

No, The Everything properties will pull values from the Windows Property System.

for example the length or duration of a video even though its a number that exists doesnt show on all videos in the properties bar
why is that happening? how can i index all properties and not have gaps

What type of video? eg: mp4, mkv, avi, webm, etc...
Does Windows Explorer show a value under the Length column?
-Everything should be matching Windows Explorer.

i have let it finish and i have a lot that are blank
i index very standard properties for videos like length dimensions width height frame rate etc
it lets a lot of videos blank. i used ctrl f5 but nothing

the properties must be there to be indexed? the length of a video is there but it cant even see that property at least

is something i do rong here or the files cannot be indexed?
in the windows details of the files all the properties i want is there but it doesnt show in the program list

so what to do here?

also is there something to do with type of video like the format of the video? does it read sertain types only?

Everything uses the OS to gather your video properties.
The OS might only support some video types.



Please send your Help -> Troubleshooting information.

Please send a debug log when refreshing indexed properties:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, check Verbose.
• From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, check Start Debug Logging.
• Select a video file with missing length.
• Press Ctrl + F5.
• From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Stop Debug Logging.
• Your %TEMP%\Everything Debug Log will open in Notepad.
• Please upload this file in a bugreport

you think that its a bug not letting the program read all files
hmmm maybe
i will send you a bug report as soon as i can
is there anything i can do to check the report or anything i can try so all the files are being filled with info?

thanks again

Look for the following lines in your Everything Debug Log.txt:
get property <type> <filename>
got property ret <got-property>
CreateFileW(): <error-code>: Failed to open file <filename>
