Installation methods

1. WinGet : winget install lin-ycv.EverythingPowerToys
   • WinGet comes preinstalled with Windows 11 and Windows 10 version 1809+
   • WinGet package needs to go through manual review process; therefore when a new release is published, there's a delay before it becomes available.
   • Winget dependencies will check for Powertoys
     • Does NOT check for dependency version, so package validation doesn't fail when new PT version isn't reviewed yet.

   Everything is NOT listed as a dependency, as you can choose to use either 1.4 : winget install voidtools.Everything or 1.5a : winget install voidtools.Everything.Alpha

2. Chocolatey : choco install everythingpowertoys
   • Chocolatey needs to be installed separately
   • Chocolatey packages also need a review process, but it's automated, and usually approved within 6 hours of a new version being published
   • Chocolately dependencies will only check for Everything 1.4, as 1.5a is not available on chocolatey
     • PowerToys Chocolately package does not install when listed as a dependency (#55)
3. Self-Extraction Installer (EXE) :
   • Automatically extracts files to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run\Plugins
   • Some AV will detect the installer as malicious, either allow the EXE or use the ZIP file instead
   1. Exit Powertoys
   2. Run EXE
   3. Restart PowerToys
4. Manual Installation (ZIP) :
   1. Exit Powertoys
   2. Extract the folder in the zip file to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run\Plugins
   3. Restart PowerToys

Plugin settings for Everything in PT Run will appear at the bottom of the settings page.

For methods 3 and 4, both Everything and PowerToys needs to be installed manually *This plugin does not work with the lite version of Everything, lite does not support IPC if you are on 1.5 alpha, you need to Disable alpha Instance, read https://github.com/lin-ycv/EverythingPowerToys/issues/74#issuecomment-1925755705

Replace Community.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.Everything.dll with Community.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.Everything_Debug.dll to enable debugging mode

Full Changelog

• Fixed search filter bug introduced in v0.80 when removing PluginJsonStorage #97 #101
• Slight change to how search filters from settings.toml work
  • Introduced a new search filter r: as shorthand for regex:.
    This enables regex without enabling regex in settings, since search query doesn't support search filters when regex is enabled globally #96
    • Example: audio: 101 r:(\d{5}) Searchs for audio file with 101 in file name(/path) and must have 5 digits
  • File type filters should end with ;
• Polish Update #91
  • @Holek
• Made EXE installer errors easier to understand #90 #93
• Made EXE installer exit with the proper exit code upon installation errors #92
• Simplified EXE installer logic to reduce AV FP
  • No further optimizations will be done by me, either you trust it or you don't; if you don't, then use the ZIP file instead
• Fixed winget update #92
• ARM support without needing extra configuration from user #45
  • Auto-detects and configures the appropriate dll to use
  • Deletes the unnessecary dll
  • Untested as I don't have an ARM device, but should be working.
• Removed file type icon when not using preview
  • It was never working properly, and newer version of PT seems to handle cloud files previews very well

the included Everything64.dll and EverythingARM64.dll is the official dlls from VoidTools
