Not in most. But certainly in a significant proportion of them , i.e. one may guess that among 15,000+ texts, several thousand of them will include images.

(And some files have in the order of 500+ pages, or even (though only a few) 1000+ pages.)

The Anytxt ‘File Index Manager’ Count has been ‘crawling’ up (snail-paced). Initially (Day 1) it showed 15,760 pdf files present, or recognised (C:/ drive plus E:/ drive). Several and up to ten days later that count had risen to 15,810. Today it is 15,813.

This leads to another (obvious?) suggestion. . .

SUGGESTION 5: Perhaps in addition to the SUGGESTION 1 (inclusion of a processing 0-100% progress bar and/or counting-down clock,) the programme could indicate to users precisely how many of all files present on the computer have been processed (X of Y). That would allow users to decide whether to keep waiting for 100% processing to finish, or, risk possible miss-outs of matches from a minor proportion of unprocessed vs processed  files.

 

By the way:

SUGGESTION 6: It may be useful, and for all sorts of potential reasons, to have a file-name selection option facilitated, such as simple click-tick or leave-blank (which would be the default) ‘Select’ion boxes as a fifth column/field alongside Name, Modified, Path and Type. For example, visually skim-scanning through some of the text of respective match items via the right-side portion of the Anytxt window, may lead users who wish to, to select file names on the left-side as ‘keepers’, i.e. useful or worthy of inclusion if not further study, or not; and/or to be exported to Excel; or deleted, etc.

Question: Do the current ‘Delete’ and ‘Delete All’ options delete entire files, or only remove them from the current list of file matches?

 

SUGGESTION 7: It would be useful, and presumably avoid lots of similar or repeat questions from different users, if the ‘Help‘ menu explained: ALL features and options – i.e. ALL toolbar icons and ALL menu drop-down items – available in the programme (such as what exactly will be exported with the ‘Export’ options?), its behaviors (such as how long a full-index may be expected to take), its limitations (such as: Does NOT have the ability to search with a space either side of search-text terms), things to be wary of (such as risk of accidentally deleting master files), etc.
