I have shot myself in the foot.
A week or two ago (1.5.0.1378a (x64)) I had a problem with the drop-down filter-bar display and somehow managed to solve that little problem by positioning the Filter Toolbar to the LHS of the screen. Now I want it back at the RHS of the screen.
A trip through Tools, Options revealed no quick fix.
I found a reference in Everything.INI "filters_right_align=1" but am reluctant to start changing the INI based on my limited understanding of what is going on.
A search of the forums sent me to a couple of promising topics:-
Re: Suggestion list is covering way too much and
filters_sidebar_visible
I don't expect anyone here to remember how I moved the filter bar to the left (really evil grin), but for starters:-
(1) Is the position of the filter bar supposed to be changed through a GUI within Everything? If so, please, how?
(2) Is the position of the filter bar supposed to be changed through an exit-Everything edit of the INI file? If so, what settings are available (top RHS, top-LHS, bottom-LHS, bottom RHS? Floating?). If so, How?
Thanks, Chris
Filter bar position? How?
Re: Filter bar position? How?
Right-click the Filter Bar.
Should be a 'Move Filter Bar to Left|Right'.
After that, check the value of your found variable & see if in fact its' value changes when you change the menu setting.

Re: Filter bar position? How?
therube has the right answer.
The filter bar can also change sides by:
Double-clicking the divider between the search box and filter bar.
-or-
Dragging the divider between the search box and filter bar all the way to the left.

- Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
/filters_right_align=1
- Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
- If successful, filters_right_align=1 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.

Re: Filter bar position? How?
Thank you, therube. This did the trick.
I suspect that I saw this as an option while I was trying, mouse-like, to adjust the position and size of the filter bar - the old click-everywhere-at-random technique favoured by novices.
I am not sure what you mean by the 'found variable". I did take a peek again into the file Everything.INI and found this key:-After that, check the value of your found variable & see if in fact its' value changes when you change the menu setting.
Code: Select all
filters_right_align=1
Cheers, Chris

Re: Filter bar position? How?
Bingo! A neat trick which, I suspect I am going to find - works in other elements of the screen susceptible to re-positioning.
Despite what I write to TheRube, this now is the candidate for me; I can see me - for some reason - trying to adjust the size of the filter bar and dragging the divider all the way to the right; after which random panic would ensue.Dragging the divider between the search box and filter bar all the way to the left.
Ahah! The truly Brave test this out (after checking ON "View Status bar") and find that setting the value to zero shoots the bar to the left; so that clears up that little mystery,
