Thanks for your reply and your help in trying to resolve this. Unfortunately, when trying to download the Java version =I get the following error message: 'This installation of JDK 1.8.0_421 is for x64 systems. On this computer please download the arm 64 installer. Click CLOSE to exit this installation.' It seems as though there is an issue with the compatibility of the two systems.

I was able to run DocFetcher 1.1.25 on macOS 12 Monterey. Here's what I did: 1) I downloaded Java for macOS from java.com, specifically Java version 8 update 421 for macOS Intel (not ARM64). After the download was completed, I mounted the dmg file and installed Java via the .app installer. Typing "java -version" in a terminal afterwards confirmed that Java was properly installed. 2) I downloaded DocFetcher-1.1.25.dmg from the project website: https://docfetcher.sourceforge.io/en/download.html After...

I'm not sure if it'll work, but if it does work, then during indexing the entire 50 GB will be transferred over the network. This might be very, very slow.

@ccchan: Usually I use Gemini for simpler tasks and Claude for the more complex ones. Claude is good at writing small pieces of code, but modifying a large code base still requires a human expert.

Hi, if you run a so-called "update" on an index, only new files and files with a changed last-modified attribute will be reindexed. If you run a so-called "rebuild" on an index, all files will be reindexed. So the most straight-forward method is probably to run an index rebuild. If running a rebuild is too time-consuming, you could instead change the last-modified attribute of the relevant files, if you know how to do that. Or you could move the files out of the indexed folder, run an update, then...

I have several PDF files which are scanned files. I had indexed them earlier. I have no ran OCR on them and now all of them has text layer. When I run DocFetcher again it does not know that these files have changed. I want the docfectcher to run index again on them files. How should i go about it. PS: how often is DocFetcher updated. I have been using it for a long time but it doesn't seem there are many updates, not that i am complaining

The daemon doesn't write directly into the settings or the indexes, so it can be left running. I'm not sure what you mean by "internal number of the index folder". The tree.xml files are part of the indexes, so they have to be copied as well. With respect to file paths, special attention must be paid. When creating an index, there is a checkbox "Store relative paths if possible" on the indexing dialog. If the checkbox is ticked, relative file paths are stored, otherwise absolute file paths. "Relative"...

mumen posted a comment on discussion General Discussion
Indeed, you are right to point it out. I would not have committed such a huge imprudence, I forgot to mention it. A small question though, should we also close the daemon? I don't think so because your software is well separated, but I just want to be absolutely certain. So, you indirectly confirm that the XML copying procedure will work without problems, even if I force the internal numbering of the index folder to 13 digits? Also, what about the tree.xml files that I don't understand very well?...

Hi, you have to list all possible combinations like so: "good fit" OR "fit good" This and more is explained in the user manual on the page "Query Syntax". Regards q:-) <= Quang

For example, I want to search for a combination of 2 or 3 words which I know are together but not sure about the order. For example, "Good fit". But I also want to search for "fit good" also. Is there a way to put words into quotation marks and add a special query so the software would search for all the words next to each other but in all possible combinations?

PowerPoint probably just takes the file extension as a hint, and if the content doesn't match the file extension, but PowerPoint can read it, then it will open it anyway. In PowerPoint, you can try saving the file to a new copy and check if DocFetcher can read the new copy.
-
They work fine when opened in PowerPoint. But not sure about the history of the files.

Hi, maybe those files have the wrong file extension? Or they could be PowerPoint files in an older format, incorrectly saved under the newer ".pptx" extension. Or they could simply be corrupted. Regards q:-) <= Quang

Hi, it's only safe to copy and paste these files while the application isn't running. If it's running, then it may be in the middle of index writing. If you try to copy and paste the indexes at that moment, you might get broken, unusable indexes. Regards q:-) <= Quang

This appears to be a OneDrive issue, so there isn't really anything to fix on the DocFetcher side. As user SSas reported above, it appears that one needs to configure 3 different settings in OneDrive to make it work with DocFetcher.

The InitialSorting setting works fine for me. Tested on Windows 10. Setting "InitialSorting = 8" will sort the results by ascending last modified attribute, and setting "InitialSorting = -8" will sort the results by descending last modified attribute. Make sure the setting "InitialSorting" only occurs once in the Advanced Settings file, not multiple times. Also be sure to save the Advanced Settings file and restart the application after editing the file.

@Frank Bergson Indexing entire drives works for me just fine. Tested on Windows 10. There are two ways to add drives: 1) In DocFetcher, right-click into the Search Scope pane, then select "Create Index From > Folder". Then choose a drive in the folder selection dialog. The drives are under "This PC". 2) In Windows Explorer, select a drive, then press Ctrl+C to copy it. Then go to DocFetcher, right-click into the Search Scope pane, then select "Create Index From > Clipboard". As for how to add file...

Thanks for the reply. I can confirm your first comment: it's linked to "rebuild index". No emergency at all, not a real trouble. Second point: the “InitialSorting= n” variable doesn't change anything, it's always the “Score” column that's sorted. I've tried all kinds of values. I've tried to reset the <column id=”result-table“ value=”0;1;2;3;4;5;6;7“ /> line in preferences.xml. Too bad, it would have worked perfectly for me.

Hi, My first comment concerns Search Scope. We used to have problems in older version with the checkboxes "moving all by themselves", which you've stabilized in this version, but there are still a few occasions when my choices change without my wanting them to. In v1.18, there's actually a known bug related to the checkboxes in the Search Scope pane. Their states may reset to the initial states at startup time after an index rebuild. I assume you are referring to this issue. The reason why this happens...

Yes, DocFetcher can index entire drives. USB drives will be fine, but it's not recommended to index the "C:\" drive, with folder watching enabled, since that would cause DocFetcher to continuously run index updates, slowing down your computer.
-
@Gareth Morrall: DocFetcher can search PDF attachments, but only if they're not compressed (e.g., not inside a zip archive). DocFetcher Pro can also deal with the latter, and generally has better PST/OST support, as explained on this page.

Docfetcher was crashing on startup but examining the log files I figured out that if I delete /usr/lib64/libsoup-2.4.so.1.11.2, it works fine. My question is would docfetcher pro require me to delete that file? Using Fedora 40.

thanks for the feedback. Just looking through the source, I guess we would be looking to upgrade ResultPanel.java I have no experience in java, but the construction looks relatively straight forward and there are many of examples. I would, however, suggest that the thumbnail generation piggy backs on either explorer or xyplorer rather than recreating this part. Thoughts?

Hi, a thumbnail view would certainly be a nice thing to have, but at the moment there are no concrete plans to implement something like this. Regards q:-) <= Quang

A browser extension can't pull it off either because it would be subject to the same restrictions as the DocFetcher Server web UI. A proper solution, if possible at all, would require a separate executable outside the browser. This approach will be investigated for DocFetcher Server 2.0. If you feel like staying in the loop on that one, you can subscribe to the DocFetcher Pro newsletter.
-
yeah, but thats too much of a hassle for daily work. a browser extension for chrome/edge would be nice :) the server itself would be perfect in terms of functionality. just not the opening/folder opening of search results (btw, using macs here)

Are you aware of the existing workaround for the file opening issue in DocFetcher Server? The workaround doesn't allow you to open files with a simple click, but it allows you to copy the file path to the clipboard with a simple click. Then you can paste the file path into Windows Explorer to open the file.
-
Thanks for the explanation! Its not about the money at the moment, its about the best solution :) I already had a look at DocFetcher Server but the handling of the found files doesnt match with my workflow. i need to be able to double click certain files to open, or open up the containing folders. thats not possible with Server because of the Browser restrictions.
-
Introducing such a read-only mode would just be a roundabout way of circumventing the file lock. For example, if you have 5 computers reading the indexes in this hypothetical read-only mode, and you have another computer that modifies the indexes in write mode, then read and write operations may occur simultaneously, which could crash the reading instances. So that's basically the same as having no file lock at all. If you're willing to spend some money, there is DocFetcher Server, which was specifically...

Hey! I got the same Problem. But is there maybe an Option to open the Indexes in "Read-Only"? Or maybe in a future update? So you could at least use the created indexes for searching. Updating/indexing would be done another way, maybe on the nas machine itself. Thanks! Toby

Thank you very much for the quick reply. I'm thinking that the best solution for me is to move Job4 so it is no longer a subfolder of Job. 2) Perhaps you mistyped the regex when creating this thread.

Hi, 1) DocFetcher does not allow creating overlapping indexes. So you cannot index a folder "Job" and also a subfolder somewhere under "Job". However, there is a workaround: You need two separate copies of DocFetcher, one of which must be the portable version, not the installed version (since you can install the installed version only once). 2) Perhaps you mistyped the regex when creating this thread. In this case, .+/Job4/.* would be correct. 3) The exclusion rule is only applied to files, not folders....

This is explained in the user manual on the page "How to raise the memory limit?". Actually, you may have to either raise or lower the memory limit, because if the memory limit is set to a value that is higher than the available amount of RAM, then DocFetcher may also crash.
-
OriginHR posted a comment on discussion General Discussion
How can we increase the memory limit for docfetcher?
-
The dialog in the screenshot appears because the previous indexing attempt failed, leaving behind a broken index that cannot be used by the application. Since those broken indexes are unusable, you need to remove them and create new indexes. As for why indexing failed, it's probably due to a lack of memory assigned to DocFetcher. The setting is called "memory limit", and it needs to be below the available amount of RAM, but still high enough to allow indexing all files successfully.

Hi, your problem description is very unclear. I'm guessing that you're talking about an indexing progress window showing up.
