I think it's possible. I think there is no such column (I don't have a change to check it as I do not have windows), and espcially such information is not stored to the database so cannot search based on that.

I work with hundreds (thousands) of audio files and need a way to search/sort (+ save list(s) of files/titles) by bit rate. Is there any way to accomplish this easily?
-
yes, there is no active development. I myself have not used Windows for more than 10 years, not so much active other people too

The app doesn't seem to be updated all the time, but it feels like it has enough features, do you continue to use it? Thanks to the developer's contribution, I use it all the time!

Hi there, I have added locate32 to the context menu in Windows 10 via the registry in this way: Add to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell" a new key named "locate32" Add to the new key a new String named "Icon" and set it to "C:\Program Files (x86)\locate32\locate32.exe,0" Add to the key "locate32" a new key named "command" and set the standard value to: " C:\Program Files (x86)\locate32\locate32.exe -P:"%1" ". Make sure to add -P:"%1" after the filename, and don't forget the quotation marks at %1....

Thanks for this; that's really helpful in my opinion. I sometimes managed to "trick" locate into starting up to three instances on startup of the first by simply continuously double-clicking the icon.

Thanks - I didn't see the 'add directories' option. I removed the drive and added directories instead and that has sorted it :-)
-
Hi, you should be able to do that by specifying directories to be indexed instead of drives.

Hi folks, Thanks for a great program. I'm annoyed that I didn't find it sooner - I have been muddling along with the pathetic Windows search for years. I want to index files in a network folder. I've the drive up to be mapped to a separate database and that seems to work fine. However there are only a couple of directories (and their subdirectories) that I want to map. I've tried using 'include directories pattern', however I can only get this to index a folder and not it's subdirectories. Is that...

And yet, it is my go-to tool for doing that very thing. I was looking for a comparable GUI for the linux version of locate, but it seems the selection is either an uncustomizable travesty, or using the command line.

Bitty (?) Unsure how to parse. Anyway, since you were nice enough to make your contribution, I thought I should tell you how well your advice has served me: Greatly. Since installing the version that you had recommended, I have not had any of the strange errors I was getting. I did get one error message, but I don't even remember what it was, only that it wasn't the one that was irritating the dickens out of me, and it did happen only once, I can only figure that a Windows update screwed up something...
-
I checked out your link and will see if it solves the mysterious problem. It doesn't matter if it's 32-bit or 64-bit because the application demands so little in terms of system resources. Since the problem cannot be reproduced at will, not having determined the precise circumstances under which the problem arises, only by using the new version for a protracted amount of time will I be able to say, "Hey, yeah—that did it!" Funny about the latest version: I had searched for a newer version right before...
-
That's bitty. There is not so much options to debug the program as development is not continued, but maybe the error message gives some hints if something can be done. Yes, no need to reinstall Locate32, but you can try to reset settings. There is settool.exe for that. Have you tried this? It's the most recent version, but I am not completely sure if it's 64 bit https://sourceforge.net/projects/locate32/files/locate32_3.1.11.8220a_fix.zip/download

Sometimes when I attempt to conduct a search for a folder or folders given or sharing a particular case-sensitive name or partial name, there is a semi-fatal error, semi-fatal in that it doesn't kill the program, but fails to actually carry out the command. A pop-up error is generated saying something about a Windows error. I don't remember what the exact message is, and I can't reproduce it upon command, as the application "decides" to generate the error "whenever it feels like it." Now, to get...

There is "Use costom font" option for the results list in settings (Advanced tab). Maybe you have accidentally enabled that? Default for that seems to be Tahoma 9 which might be quite small.

I'm using Version 3.1 build 11.7100, running on Windows 7 (Version 6.1 Build 7601) Service Pack 1. Locate32 is displaying my search results in a very small typeface, and I can't figure out to restore it to a reasonable size, like 12pt. The problem is persistent across reboots of Windows 7. See: http://www.panix.com/~wdstarr/Locate32_screenshot_01__4_30_2021.jpg for a screenshot. What can I do to fix this?

Thank you jmj, that's even better! I never noticed that setting.
-
There are also those "Number of items in the drop-box list of ..." and "Number of saved folders" which you can set to 0, which should give something you are after?
-
Oh I see. It does work as you describe. So is there no way to prevent search terms being written in the "Named" combo box list in the first place? If so, I guess I can live with that. Oh I just tried, it clears as soon as I press the x button without even truly closing the program so that setting is better than I thought. I appreciate your help, jmj! Thanks again.
-
Do not save should mean that those won't show up when you restart the program. Did you try that?
-
Hi jmj, thanks for your reply. I'm not sure why some files were not searchable and some were (I was mistaken about hyphen and underscore being the issue, it's a different pattern) but it seems to be fixed after going to the Advanced tab and UNticking "Match whole file name" (I don't remember ticking that! Oh well). As for the delete private data thing , in Settings > Advanced, I scrolled a little over half way down and I ticked "Do not save list items in "Named", "Type", and "Look In" combo boxes"...
-
I do not problems with - or _ . Would adding quotes (like "test_test.txt") help? There there are some options in Settings -> Advanced to check the behavious of the searches, but I cannot think any which would change that. In Settings -> Advanced, there is "Do not save list items ..." options. Yes, there is no dark theme available.

I have a similar problem but with underscore and hyphen. I don't know if anyone will see this but I've been trying to replace VoidTools Everything (uses so much RAM and is not open source) with this very lightweight cool program. I have a few questions if someone can help. Locate32 isn't finding a file with a hyphen ( - ) and underscore ( _ ) symbols in the file name. Am I doing something wrong? Any way to fix? Is there a way to not save private data at all (like when going to Tools > Delete Private...

Phil Goetz posted a comment on discussion General Discussion
There's a Windows program called Everything by David Carpenter at https://www.voidtools.com/ . It's free, but source code isn't available. I've used it a bit. It's very fast, but it doesn't seem as customizable. My main problem with it is that it's impossible to find answers to questions about it via web search, because "Everything" is not a Googlable name.

There are 2 current versions: locate32_3.1.11.8220a_fix_for_XPSP3.zip locate32_3.1.11.8220a_fix.zip Are we supposed to use locate32_3.1.11.8220a_fix.zip unless we have XP SP3? There is no x64 version posted of 8220a. Should we stay with 7100 if we have 64-bit windows? And are "x64" versions for Windows 64-bit, or for 64-bit machines, or for any AMD machine?

Well, I am happy if someone would take such leadership. My situation has changed so much that I definitely do not have so much time for it, or even have so much incentive to do that (I have not even been using Windows for quite many years already).

Good that it is working now.

NOW it works, and scans the indicated removable drives. Before I had done this, when I attempted to add removable drives, it...

You should use similar setup as in the screenshot. There I have selected CD-ROM (D:) as there is no USB connected to the system. More precisely, click "Custom" first and then check the drive. If this does not work, there is some kind of problem which prevents to proceed, but I do not know what to do remotely. But do NOT even try to use Advanced here, there is nothing which can help in this case. It just creates confusion.

The concerned drive appears in the drives list…however, the box is unchecked, and refuses to be checked. That's why I had to use the Advanced button, and that's where it OSTENSIBLY accepts the addition of the drive that already appears in the list…but refuses to add it with a chewck, nor does it check the drive already listed.

Ken Loh posted a comment on discussion Locate32 support forum
Hi Janne, Locate32 is very popular app. I think with a little bit additional leadership, and perhaps even a slight implementation of a business model, it can grow much further. Locate32 has a niche. Many of its users are administrators administering their personal machines or their small offices' ones using Locate32. I think if there is someone who can band all these fans together, we can have something going for the app. Best regards, Kenneth Loh CSM, PRINCE2 Practitioner, PMP Mobile: +65 9644 2511...
-
Thank you for the information. But Locate32 development is not active anymore (haven't been for years), so it's unlikely that there will be future versions.
-
I think when my mapped drive suddenly got disconnected, the Locate32 app in my Windows 10 shows an error popup that shows an obsolete support email address that when I later emailed to, the email bounced. Please refer to the attached screengrab of the popup to update the email address in later versions.
-
Hi William, What happens if you don't click on the Advanced button and just add your G: drive? Does it add the G: drive? I have been able to add portable drives connected to USB 3.x for a long while without any problem. Please elaborate further on the problems that you faced.
-
The drive is plugged into a USB 3.0 port. I specify the drive in the dialogue, but when I view drives in the dialogue AFTER it is added, it is neither checked nor interactable (cannot be added again; cannot be selected).
-
Sorry, referring to Advanced options made me to think mapping feature in Advanced options. Does the drive or checkbox disappear if you close the settings dialog for the database? Is this removable drive somehow special, or can you add, for example, a directory of your local drive (such a local drive which is not already included)
-
It doesn't wok. I check the drive in the dialogue, the application accepts it…and fails to actually add it to the database…precisely as I stated.
-
I have no idea eather. Could there be another program like virus scanner locking the file for a second just before Locate32 tries to update the file?

Wow, that was a quick reply ! However; this error also occurs when I leave the default file-path in effect. I can't figure what could cause it ?

Is it really "C:\xyz.dbs" or was it just an example? If it is, then the problem is that Locate32 cannot write to the system root (C:) without Administrator rights. You shuold change it to a location which is writable (Go to Settings -> Database -> click the database and Edit). Usually location under user folder is more safe and preferable.

Hello everyone, hopefully this forum is still active, since Locate32 is pretty much dated by now. Anyway; I've used Locate32 for years know and couldn't basically be any happier about it. There's just this one error which would occur randomly. I have set up Locate32 to do a scheduled update daily. From time to time however, i get an error message saying "Cannot write to database file "C:\xyz.dbs" as a result of updating. I would have to make an all new dbs-file everytime this happens, disabeling...

Hi, You should add the drive of the removable storage in the previous dialog (the dialog in the middle in your screenshot). You can just check the checkbox for the drive in the Drives and Directories list.

You could also consider to use another database for...

You could try to setup a separate database including the server and store the database file to the server. In this case, the server and one of clients can take care of database updates, and other just reads the database file Options to consider: Uncheck "Update Globally" for the clients so they do not try to do indexing Check "Stop if root unavailable" option. This avoids loosing data when connection is lost. Note that the database should only contain one file server, or otherwise content for other...

I was hopoing someone could share some best practice tips for use with a file server for both local and remote (VPN) users. What we are doing now is have each client run scheduled database updates nightly. The trouble we're having is if there is ever a connection loss mid update, the database is lost and must be recreated from scratch. This can take an hour for local users or hours for remote users. Does anyone have any suggeestions on something that works better? Or more specifically, how to either...

Well yes, but to be more precise Locate32 does less than that as it only checks if the file is still accessible in the location. But anyway, the development of Locate32 is discontinued (unless there will be someone coming to take the control)

enbalm0rama posted a comment on discussion Locate32 support forum
Yeah, it works. It's just that the name of the setting is misleading because files that have been renamed, etc, are changed - not offline. So that setting implies that the app is only tracking the status of changed files. But it actually does more than that, and the Help file doesn't explain it. Anyways, thanks for the fast response.
-
Hi, If kind of worked as it was supposed to work. "deleted/renamed/moved files" means files that cannot be accessed at the current moment in the location stored in the database. Locate32 does not option to separate a case that files are somewhere in non-connected remote device or are deleted.
-
I ran in to a similar problem in that I couldn't search a database for an external HDD when it wasn't connected. And I already had the box ticked to "Disable updating (file information from database)". What I had to do was also un-tick "Do not show deleted/renamed/moved files". But obviously it shouldn't work that way, so that appears to be a bug.
-
Hmm.. ok. but not sure what would the resolution here. At least I do not have resources to start solving this. You could try to comment that "LRESULT lRes=DefSubclassProc(hwnd,uMsg,wParam,lParam);" line in the code. But that's not very optimal solution as it could have some even worse side effects.

I was looking for another crash (but this one happens also with 7100) at actual build 1809 and looked here in the forum, if somebody was already struggled here and found this one. So i did check this on my company notebook with a 1709 release and i was only able to repoduce this at 1709. (IT departments needs often much more time for updates specially for theses updates for windows releases as a standard home user). Should be more or less an info that its ok at actual build.
-
How common it would be to have build 1709? Is there some reason not to update to the newest build? I am not very familiar with these. It might be something strange in Win32 API in Win10 (would not be first time), which is quite nasty to investigate. But would be fixed later
-
I was not able to reproduce this with Win 10 build 1809 & 1803 64 bit builds. Only on one Notebook with Win 10 1709, i have observed this. But on all colums, not only date column. I have build a debug version to get some more information and took the crash dump to my dev VM. Enclosed the windbg output. Sadly i have no idea how i can trigger this on actual build to investigate this in visual studio, its simply all working with Win10 2018 builds here.

Sorry, I do not have advices in this topic. If someone would know C/C++ and also PostGreSQL, he/she could modify the source code of locate.exe to make such conversion.

Thank you for the clarification, I'm not sure who to turn to for help, or how to do it myself. My goal is not very complicated: I want to have, in a PostGreSQL table, an updated list of files and folders of a server (with paths and dates of creation / modification). I initially tried to write a BATCH file: it worked, but it took more than a week to run ... I then discovered Locate32, and in a few minutes, the program seems to have made this inventory. Maybe I should dig to write a better listing...

Hi, The file is in binary format to allow fast parsing (e.g. to avoid transformations from acsii to numerical format that are unnecessary). The file names are also in unicode (16bit) format, so therefore there seems to be "extra spaces" between characters. Perhaps, if you can find a skilled person, he/she can take a look of the file format reference

Is there any better similar software? Where else to go, if we have to? I've been using Locate32 pretty much forever.

No, the whole idea of the program is to use the database to sleedup searches. Otherwise it would be just another GUI for searching.

thomaz posted a comment on discussion General Discussion
Is there any old version or clone or whatever without a database system? Or is there a secret switch do use real time hard disk reading when doing a search?
-
It's not always grayed out. You cannot remove local drive from the list, but if you use "Add directory" button to add a directory to the list, then it can be removed using Remove button. But yes, Remove does not have so much meaning: the directory is only included to the database if the checkbox is checked. And directories addded to the list and not checked will not show up in the list next time you open the dialog.
-
Hi jmj, I've got no problem in understanding the checkboxes, but, why is it that the "Remove" button at Tools -> Settings -> Databases (tab) -> [select a database] -> Edit is always greyed out?

At least there is no option in Locate32 for such passwords, sorry. Perhaps there is something in Windows, but I am not aware of such.

locate.exe shuold not update database, updtdb32 is used for that. To update the database, you can use the same command line as you used when you created the database at first place (there is actually no difference between "creating" or "updating", update does not use any information from existing database). Which recommendations you follow?

Yes, that's how the program is designed to work. There is no "live update" implemented and therefore you should update the database to see the changed files. You can setup automatic updated. Locate32 quite has settings for that, but you can also setup a scheduled tasks in Windows.
