if not i hope this thread to be considered as [feature request]..

Fractions is not important "in my case", only none,1,2,3,4,5 is more than enough.

thank you.

right click on column, click "add columns", then select "Rating". The stars are well shown, but sadly can't be edited directly in Everything by so far.

oddly the rating column in my everything showing numbers not stars

it displays numerical value 99 for the 5 stars audio file

the hover tip info box in the large thumb view also displays the value 99.

Information on these values can be found here:
- About rating values
- rating:
- System.Rating

However, the stars are also displayed for me (and I can't remember ever having changed a setting)...

@asamirid:
In an out of the box Everything (1374a x64 on Win11 22H2), rating is shown here using 0-5 stars.
You might have defined "independant" properties (like rating) in tags.csv, which will overrule the properties saved in the file itself when shown in Everything.
Check property_user_values under Advanced options to see if you defined a tag.csv file.
This file is likely saved in Everythings' %APPDATA% folder.

Other than that:
What version of Everything are you running? 32-bit or 64-bit? OS? Running as administrator or currentr user?

Tagging without modifying files

The stars are well shown, but sadly can't be edited directly in Everything by so far.

Right-click your selected file(s) => Properties => Details tab => Change your rating.

An interface to change these properties directly is on the to-do list of Everything.

my bad, i fixed the problem, but i wish the file property box also had rating stars instead of numerical value like in the screenshot.

also if there is a way to display rating stars under filename in the large thumb view it will be very helpful..

I was surprised and excited that ★Rating was implemented without my knowledge.

In foober2000, which I use, stars are expressed as ★☆ instead of star images.
I think this is a highly versatile expression design.
(However, this is an implementation that light users will dislike...)

Code: Select all

$rgb(233,155,12,233,155,12)$repeat(★,%rating%)$rgb()$repeat(✩,$sub(5,%rating%))

*columns UI

`Everything`' has excellent customizability, so I fully support the idea of ​​creating global variables and allowing users to freely use them.
