Difficult question about specific searches

[benny2007]

sorry, misunderstanding.

Only keyboard shortcuts, if possible.
If one have to type something, that's not i am looking for.
In the moment it's perfect for me, my question above would only skip some keyboard entries.

Thanks alot for your help and best regards

Use the bookmark keyboard shortcut.
You don't have to type anything.

In Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks, do you have a "Search Name in New Tab" bookmark?

Yes, all ok, is running fine, thanks a lot!

So, my next project will be my ebooks.

But one question in advance:
Have now 2 Icons on my desktop, one is for my mp3-collection, the other one is for my videos.
Both applications are running completely parallel.

Would it make sense to change between Music and Video in between Everything, but do not know, whether this is possible. This would save one instance.
What would you propose?

If you say, keep it different, then I would like to ask you, to give me a script in order to start with a third instance for my ebooks (same as you did for my Videos).

Thanks a lot in advance for your help and best regards

I think you are asking if you can switch instances from within Everything?
-There's no option to do this currently.
An Everything instance is unaware of other instances.

What would you propose?

Create a third instance.
Consider using different icons and colors for each instance.

Everything Icon Pack
Themes

If you say, keep it different, then I would like to ask you, to give me a script in order to start with a third instance for my ebooks (same as you did for my Videos).

To create the eBooks instance:
From the Desktop, right click and click New -> Shortcut...
Set location of the item to:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a\Everything.exe" -instance eBooks -no-auto-index

Click Next.
Set the name for this shortcut to:

Everything - eBooks

Click Finish.

Launch your shortcut.
Make sure Everything (eBooks) is shown in the window title bar.

Fine, have my ebooks in Everything.
There are 3 instaces now:
Music
Video
Ebook
Gave the icons on the desktop different colours.
But when in minimize them to the taskbar, the original colours are shown there.
How to change that?

Thanks in advance for your help best regards

To change the icons in Everything (and the taskbar):
Copy your custom icon files to:

Code: Select all

%APPDATA%\Everything\Everything-Music.ico
%APPDATA%\Everything\Everything-Video.ico
%APPDATA%\Everything\Everything-Ebook.ico

(eg: the Ebook instance will use %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything-Ebook.ico )
Restart each instance of Everything. (File -> Exit)

hhmm, not running.

I started with this instance, the desktop icon is in green
"C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a\Everything.exe" -instance video -no-auto-index

Copied the ico-file to %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything-Video.ico.
But, when i open it, in the taskbat is it original red.
and i am surpised the ico file is an executable file, which opens Everythig, might be i made soemething wrong before......

One other point is: Opening the Video instance, the column "Dimensions" is there, but nothing is in the lines, which were formerly properly displayed.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help an d best regards

This point is clarified in the meanwhile:
