I am struggling to get <a href="http://www.voidtools.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer" title="Everything">Everything</a> working with <a href="http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/anything.el" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>anything</code></a> in Emacs 24.3.1 on Windows 7. Ultimately I want to use <code>anything-locate</code> to browse code directories and subdirectories, as recommended in answers to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9396967/emacs-what-are-good-tactics-for-navigating-directories-and-opening-files">this question</a>. I did once, briefly, seem to have <code>anything-locate</code> working but I changed something and cannot get it back. When I enter <code>M-x anything-locate</code> (or, using <code>helm</code>, <code>M-x helm-locate</code>) I get a <code>pattern:</code> prompt but when I enter a search term I get an error message like this: <pre><code>Locate 'es' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. </code></pre> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/wS6xv.png" alt="locate"> I assume but do not know for sure that this is related to <code>es.exe</code> which is the command line version of Everything. In my init file I have this: <pre><code>(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/.emacs.d/elpa/everything") (setq everything-ffap-integration nil) (setq everything-cmd "~/.emacs.d/.emacs.d/elpa/everything/es.exe") (require 'everything) </code></pre> ...and I have edited <code>everything.el</code> so that the <pre><code>(defcustom everything-cmd "c:/Programme/Everything/es.exe" "Path to es.exe." </code></pre> line now reads: <pre><code>(defcustom everything-cmd "~/.emacs.d/.emacs.d/elpa/everything/es.exe" "Path to es.exe." </code></pre> (EDIT Please note that despite the "~/" convention used above, in reality the paths are fully qualified with c:/blah/blah/blah/.emacs.d/) I expected this to allow Emacs to find <code>es.exe</code>. And yet it still throws the error message. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
