@tbone

there is no way to sync any changes to a backup

May I humbly point you to BackupMeta?

How does Opus detect + use Everything, as I like to use portable version of ET, but it obviously can't find it. Is there a way to point Opus at Everything Portable folder to get it working in Opus ?

Opus communicates with Everything via IPC so I believe it doesn't matter where Everything is installed (but I'm not 100% on that). Make sure you are using the full (vs. lite) version of Everything - the lite version of Everything does not have IPC and will not work with Opus.

Thanks. Got it working now. No need to restart Opus.

Not sure why it didn't show up before.

Seems you don't have to search everywhere, when you want to use Everything, which is quite nice and makes it very useful, even for very specific searches! o)

If you enable the "Match Path" option you can also just write
opus *.oxc
to find all configuration files of DO, since "opus" will match the parent directory / path.

If the "Match Path" option is not enabled, you can do:
opus\ *.oxc
Which will also find all the config files in folders named "*opus".

The "Match Path" option can also be passed directly in the query via "path:" and "nopath:" iirc..

The integration of Everything still needs some work?! What do you think, what are the plans?
To me it seems, it's not much fun yet running Everything queries from DO.

1. The quick search bar disappears while typing (thinking I already finished my query?) I would like the everything search bar to stay there, to be able to adjust the query.

2. I cannot get back the query I entered some seconds ago.
   It would be nice if the "Enter"ed queries could be populated in a list, like it's done with the quick commands bar, where you can run internal/external commands.

3. Everything search via "+" will not work on some empty tabs (on those opened after DO startup).

Thanks! o)

Using the search field (top right) instead of FAYT solves 1 & 2, I think.

(Tho it'd still be nice for FAYT to handle them in some way, especially for FAYT scripts.)

If Opus isn't detecting Everything, there's some debugging which you can see by running DebugView:

• DebugView - Sysinternals | Microsoft Learn

DebugView has to be running before Opus starts. If Opus is already running, use File > Exit Directory Opus, then launch it again.

Information should look similar to the highlighted lines:

(Screenshot is from DebugView++ which is similar to, and slightly better than, DebugView but not from Microsoft.)

Thanks, helpful information! But there is no general problem detecting Everything v1.5alpha, or is there? It seems to work as expected, once the "alpha_instance" setting is done in Everything.
