[Better file sizes in Explorer details] Software "Everything" becomes unresponsive

[wangyan-life]

Using Everything to calculate file sizes causes Everything's file selection dialog to become unresponsive when other folders are selected. And some time after the unresponsiveness occurs, the Explorer also becomes unresponsive and unusable!

Mod setting:

Software "Everything" becomes unresponsive when SELECTING folders:

Windhawk version: 1.5.1
Everything version: 1.5.0.1391a.x64

I added the custom process “explorer.exe” to the mod's “Advanced Settings” and enabled “Ignore mod inclusion/exclusion lists”, which solved the above problem, and the file size statistics still work fine!

Thanks for the report. It happens only with the new SDK (version 1.5.0.1384a or newer), and will be fixed in the next version.

For now, limiting it to explorer.exe works, but then the mod won't work for other programs, e.g. in open/save dialogs. Alternatively, you can just exclude Everything.exe for now.

Oh yeah, I just thought of the way you said it! Thank you.

I was wondering why it was applied to every proccess, but now I see!
I see no file sizes in dialogs as a good tradeoff for increased compatibility (thinking of game anti-cheats aswell).
I'm new to Windhawk, but it would be possible to add a checkbox so only explorer.exe is included.

You can use the option to ignore the mod's process targets, and then include only explorer.exe manually. These options are available in the mod's advanced options.

For excluding processes globally in Windhawk (not only for this mod), you can use Windhawk's inclusion and exclusion lists in Windhawk's advanced options. For more information, refer to the following wiki page:
