For 1.4, you will need to 'convert' the macro to its value. In case of doc: that is

Code: Select all

ext:c;chm;cpp;csv;cxx;doc;docm;docx;dot;dotm;dotx;h;hpp;htm;html;hxx;ini;java;lua;mht;mhtml;odt;pdf;potx;potm;ppam;ppsm;ppsx;pps;ppt;pptm;pptx;rtf;sldm;sldx;thmx;txt;vsd;wpd;wps;wri;xlam;xls;xlsb;xlsm;xlsx;xltm;xltx;xml

Menu:Search > Organize Filters will bring you to the list of filters; editing a filter will show these values in the Search: fileld.

I don't know how you installed Everything
but I guess you have a wrong definition of the Everything data files location.

The location is derived from this entry in the Ini file the script creates
EverythingDataPath=c:\tools\Everything

The above path is from my Everything installation.
You have to define where the Everything config files like filters.csv are located in your case.

Btw. I highly suggest to use Everything 1.5.
Its Alpha but stable and so much better in any aspect.

.\es.exe -instance 1.5a  -save-settings

I'm an outsider to the whole Everything topic. So, I have no idea what you mean I should do...

I have it figured out, for anyone that is having the same problem:

1. What highend's script does, is basically calling the es.exe using a XYplorer UI, therefore, any limitations es.exe has, is applicable to this script, like you need Everything GUI app to be running for it to work.
2. Filters and macros are supported in Everything 1.4, but they are only supported in GUI. If you use es.exe the cli tool, filters do not work!
3. In 1.5a, filters and macros work with BOTH GUI AND CLI (es.exe). But there is a caveat, you need to tell es.exe to communicate to Everything 1.5a, because 1.5a is an alpha version, by default es.exe won't use it!
So in cli, type

Code: Select all

.\es.exe -instance 1.5a  -save-settings

There will be an ini file created at the same path es.exe is located. If you bring the ini with you to another machine, you won't need to use the command again.

Of course filters are supported in the GUI. I was talking about what you were trying to accomplish:
filter macros are not supported through ES.exe or by using the Everything SDK when using version 1.4.
