[Tip] Integrate voidtools' Everything with FreeCommander

[milnak]

Here's a hack I created and it seems to work!

Install everything and everything cli (add cli tool to path) from voidtools website.

Define favorite toolbar.
Add new item:

Name: Everything
Program or Folder: C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe
Parameter: -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command "& { $fc=Join-Path $env:ProgramFiles '\FreeCommander XE\FreeCommander.exe'; $ctr =Join-Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA 'FreeCommanderXE\Settings\FileContainers\Everything.fcc'; '#FreeCommander file cart' | Out-File -Encoding ascii $ctr; & es.exe $args | Out-File -Append $ctr; & $fc /c $ctr }" %Prompt1_Search%

A simple cmd script for a portable FC installation does the same

Store this script

Code: Select all

chcp 65001
set file=C:\Tools\FreeCommander\Settings\FileContainers\Everything.fcc
echo #FreeCommander file cart>"%file%"
C:\Tools\Everything\es.exe %* >>"%file%"
C:\Tools\FreeCommander\FreeCommander.exe /c "%file%"

Invoke the script from an FC favorite button like this
