Thanks for considering :) Changing the sort order via the search is in development, so you could include something like the following in your filter's search: sort:size-descending Nice. I suppose all the requested features could be implemented into the search syntax. E.g. Text-color:green , column:N...

The "Date Modified" columns has data with the structure 2020-06-18 20:32 Add an optional much more compact column "DM" which shows only a one or two digit number 0 1 2 ... 99 for the time in days since the file was last modified. Everything older than 99 shows 99 to keep the column width compact. Be...

Add a custom views feature The custom search filter feature is already very useful. But I'd like to be able to customize both the results and the view, appearance and order of the results and other features of the window. Each custom view could include any of these: 1 custom search filter parameter...

Funny. Was just thinking about it and came up with the same idea! :) As long as it ends the autofill when I type ":\" (I use that a lot: :\TEMP to only get the rootfolders TEMP) :) I hope an autosuggest feature could be made compatible with that use case. - Sublime (editor) uses Ctrl-P to open a "q...

I understand the frustration with having to type function: I'll be reviewing auto complete in Everything 1.5, and also adding support for customizing the main UI so you can have a size bar, date modified bar etc.. Maybe starting a search term with > could show a list of functions.. Allowing the use...

Adding a similar request here: in the Edit Filter window add a checkbox to disable a filter. Disabled filters should not be visible in the Search menu and should not react if the user types the macro. This makes it easier to manage many filters and test new filter variants without having to use dele...

I'm sure this is extremely powerful and even "simple", but sadly it's not accessible to the "ordinary people" who never write a line of code and are used to intuitive UIs with cells to be filled in. :oops: Maybe this helps. How to create and use you own filter functions First we can ask: Why use a ...

For now, you could add a shortcut to your filter(s) Thanks for that suggestion. It prompted me to make a script that cycles between file filter, folder filter and no filter. ;AutoHotkey helper keyboard shortcut for Everything for quick filter changes ;2019-02-22 ;Press control+alt+down to cycle thr...

Feature suggestion: Add a custom command, and customizable keyboard shortcut, to go to (select and scroll to) the first file/folder in the results list. The shortcut could be a toggle: if the current selection is a folder then then jump to select the first file. And vice versa. With first file/folde...

Now I think it is caused by all the extra info that isn't (by default) in the database, like attributes. Index those and you will get results much quicker. Possible. I'll test that later. Though I guess that would lead to Everything itself indexing the disks slower. I hope the Everything dev, void,...

therube & notnull: thank you for also testing. Everything GUI is working from RAM, is not exporting all the detail that ES is. ES is exporting detail that is not in RAM, not in .db, has to go to disk to gather those details. Plausible. There is another , important difference between the outputs: the...

Speed comparison for three ways to export a disk index as an .efu file - The tests were done on a SSD with ~650K files and folders - Using ES 1.1.0.8 and Everything 1.4.1.877 (x64) in Windows 10 Test 1. ES command line es.exe -export-efu C:\es_test.efu C:\ Result: ~35 seconds 90MB output file (Same...

The new ES is great! Dramatic speed improvement when saving whole drive .efu files from command line compared to old method using everything.exe command line. I made a small helper script for saving individual datestamped .efu files for multiple drives in one go, see end of first post here http://ww...

I request a command line option to do what "file > export" does in the GUI. The command line has a "-create-filelist" command but that is a very slow in comparison. When I do "file > export" on a SSD drive with search string "C:\" the save is immediate. When I do "-create-filelist" the command takes...

Hi, I'm glad to hear that. And yeah some of my hotkey choices weren't so good. I guess the best approach is to mimic Explorer where possible. Alt+Up or Backspace for parent folder. Enter to navigate into a folder. Alt+left/right for back/forward. Plus one more to start/exit folder browsing mode. Alt...

A heads up for anyone monitoring this thread for changes. I made a small tool with hotkeys for browsing efu files in Everything
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5635&p=15436#p15436 I hope the Everything developer makes that functionality native.

No love for this? I should add that the tool is merely a few extra hotkeys that make use of the "parent:" command and other built in Everything commands. These are its features: Press Enter or Alt+Enter or Alt+Right on a .efu file in Everything = start efu browse mode In efu browse mode: Alt+Enter =...

Everything is great but, like some others in the forum have already requested, a mode to browse folders like in Explorer could be useful. Especially when indexing discs or drives to .efu file lists. With such a folder explorer mode Everything could replace some standalone disc cataloging tools. Soun...
