In a fully automated way? No. By writing an e.g. ahk script and executing it afterwards? SureIs there a way to call the Everything.exe ui via a script and get the search results on exit, and use THAT to create the paper folder?

Since on the UI you can modify the search query and fine tune the result set in real time.
Is there any plans for implementing an indexed search feature similar to Everything natively in XY?
you have the full Everything search syntax, macros, modifiers and functions available.
This allows the same searches as in the Everything GUI.
The only exeption from this are bookmarks.

Works fine but for my preferences the resulting paperfolder should have name as first column and path as 2nd.highend wrote: ↑17 Aug 2021 15:50 Just as a proof of concept...

Re: Integration of Everything [voidtools]
It's the setting for the columns in Everything, not XYplorer^^Works fine but for my preferences the resulting paperfolder should have name as first column and path as 2nd

Re: Integration of Everything [voidtools]
Don't understand ?
The columns in my Everything GUI are Name, Path, Size, Date modified.
This matches your assigment in the script for the first 2 columns.
But in the resulting Paper folder I get Path, Name, Ext, Size, Modified, Attr

If you want a different layout in XY you could enhance the script part of the .ahk file in

Re: Integration of Everything [voidtools]
Not yet, its to complicated
Testing the script was just for fun.
Normaly I use the Everything script for queries and don't need the GUI.
The same is for my Everything usage in Total Commander where I also have to full syntax and integration without the GUI.

I always get a return message
I use
- the 64x portable "installation" of 1.5a
- get the error with or without Everything (and the service) running.
Running
How do I provide the "IPC window"?

Re: Integration of Everything [voidtools]
Let install it the service and start Everything before you run es.exe via the script.Filehero wrote: ↑18 Aug 2021 21:37 I always get a return messagelogged into the paperfolder.txt.Error 8: Everything IPC window not found. Please make sure Everything is running.

You also have to enter the folllowing setting in the Everything-1.5a.ini or Everything.ini

Re: Integration of Everything [voidtools]
That was it! Thanks, Horst!
And kudos to Marco and highend for providing that bridge to Everything!
Well, after several "I really should try it now"s I finally ran Everything for the first time - and I'm stunned.
Unfortunately it's out of reach, but XYplorer and Everything are Yin and Yang.

Re: Integration of Everything [voidtools]
What do you mean by out of reach? Of course, I could emulate that script within the XY code. I already support External Copy Handlers.

Re: Integration of Everything [voidtools]
I guess he means Everything integration into the search functions of XY
using the SDK like Total Commander does.
The Everything script replaces most searches with XY native search for me.
The SDK is easy to implement and it would be nice to have it in some future XY major update.

Re: Integration of Everything [voidtools]
Don doesn't like to add external dependencies (e.g. shipping .dlls)...
Otherwise we could have e.g. support for a better regex engine since... years
And even if he did implement Everything via the .dll and the SDK (which really isn't that difficult, did this myself for testing purposes),
Everything is required to run in the background AND
he would need to implement all those nifty search capabilities in the main XY UI.
Don't think that this will happen
