Better again
This script is one of the best parts in my XY usage.
Bad news for Don, I almost never use XY native search,
but the same is true for Total Commander

Just as a proof of concept...
Download the attachment
Create XYplorer paperfolder from Everything content.xys
Thanks. This works.
I added a context menu option to call this from the Everything result view, and send to xy.

Noob question: what's the syntax to get all files on drive "C:"?

Probably just too many files...

Acc. to Everything it's 624.431 files.
Sort of confirmation: the same error occurs with XY's Quick File Search. Well, probably too many files.

Such query is useless in XY, make it in the Everything GUI.

It's not useless, it's impossible. ;-)
But you're right, and it's not a biggie anyway.

Should I maybe add a confirmation dialog if somebody tries to do a
search?
That's a regex above, it means:
either f: or d: (or none of them) followed by a e.g. c:\, d:\, ...
without anything before or behind it
or maybe a new option:
AllowFullDriveSearch=0
and if set to 1, do it, otherwise throw an error window?

I don't think thats necessary.
You don't know if some query ends in to much files
because the user may provide some regex or other complicated queries which you can't analyse.
Simply add some general warning in the Notes text.
Nothing bad or serious happens anyway.

XY can crash, I won't say "nothing bad can happen"
Another idea:
That would be a "force" switch.
If provided it will be done, otherwise not. Could be integrated into the description

^(f:|d:)?([a-z]:\\) /f$
You can make such a check as an option but personaly I would not enable it.
I have several drives which contain large backup sets for example
that can be listed completely without any out of memory problems.
Drive c:\ is the only problematic one.

@highend, Horst: Thanks.
Actually, it's the first time - afair - I realize, that "C:\" contains more files than all my remaining drives/partitions (5) combined. It's indeed a little surprise that even my "data-I-cannot-part-with" drives appear to be rather uncluttered by file number.

That is an example where a x64 version of XY would be a benefit.
My x64 Total Commander which uses the Everything SDK can make such a query.
It runs some time but finishes without memory problems.
Of course I only did this just for testing.
Such global queries work in the Everything GUI without any delay.
