The application doesn't respond when I select many Items

[Debugger]

The application doesn't respond when I select 25,000 items and try to open the Context Menu.

In comparison, MasterSeeker doesn't have these limitations and runs super fast and stable, even when selecting an unimaginable number. It can display a pop-up window, such as "copy all paths."

WFM, 34875 items.

Now, it was time consuming.
Enabling all the "pidl" items did not seem to help any.

Everything may go opaque, for a while, & context cannot be taken away from Everything during this time - or you'll end up loosing the context-menu action.

Maybe there is some other setting to speed things up?


Each CPU / RAM spike was during the duration of the context-menu action.

Showing context menu shell extensions is important in Everything.
It takes a long time to build context menu with shell extensions for many items.
A progress bar is shown when building the context menu for many items.

Enabling context_menu_simple_pidl can improve performance.
However, some context menu shell extension items will not work. (right click -> Properties will have missing information)

To enable context_menu_simple_pidl:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.

• Set the value to: true
• Click OK.
