How to disable pop-up messages when you hover over a row in the search results ?

Post by BKPB »

How to disable pop-up messages when you hover over a row in the search results ?
This is very disturbing.
In the settings show tooltips is disabled.
In version 1.3.4.686 does not.
Help me. How to deactivate this.
Maybe you need to add an entry to Everything.ini

How do I turn off pop-up messages when I hover on a line in search results?
It's very disturbing.
The display hints are disabled in the settings.
There's no such thing in the 1.3.4.686 version.
Help me. How to turn it off.
You may need to add a record to the UREverything.ini.

To disable the result tooltips:
  • Completely exit Everything (right click the Everything system tray icon and click Exit)
  • Open your %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini
  • Change the following line:
    listview_tooltips=1
    to:
    listview_tooltips=0
  • Save changes and restart Everything.

I looked into the 'Everything.ini' file but have only the following content, within:
; Please make sure Everything is not running before modifying this file.
[Everything]
; settings stored in %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini
app_data=1
run_as_admin=1
allow_http_server=1
allow_etp_server=1
How do I turn off the on-hover tooltip feature? Thanks!

What version of Everything?

Where is this Everything.ini located?
Is it the only Everything.ini you have?
(You can search Everything for "Everything.ini" ;-).)

Oops! My bad for missing this information :(

Latest Version: Everything v1.4.1.877 (x86)
File Path: C:\Program Files\Everything.ini
Running OS: Windows 7 Ultimate

P.S. I appended 'listview_tooltips=0' to the Everything.ini file but the tooltips are still visible.

The Everything.ini in your Program Files folder says:
; settings stored in %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini
Follow the instructions as provided earlier by @void:

That should do it :-)

Ah! That was silly, indeed :oops: Thanks 'NotNull' & 'therube', for detailing this through.

No problem!

And thanks @therube for making me laugh with:
You can search Everything for "Everything.ini" ;-).
(that is actually a rather clever idea!)

Just thought about an other option to find and edit Everything.ini:

[*] in Everything's address bar type about:config (+Enter)
[*] Your current Everything.ini opens
[*] Close Everything (Menu:File > Exit)
(This has to be done because otherwise the new settings don't stick. Everthing will overwrite them on exit.)

[*] Make changes and save Everything.ini
[*] Restart Everything

(Based on: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6290&p=18990&hilit= ... fig#p18945 )

Listview tooltips can also be disabled from Everything:
  • In Everything 1.4 or later, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /listview_tooltips=0
  • Restart Everything (Right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit)

Nice!
Does the /... syntax work with all INI entries?

Should have tested this before asking ....
It works for all options (that I tried)!

EDIT:
... and read the help:
To change the value for a setting, type in the following search and press ENTER:

/<ini option>=<value>

where <ini option> is one of the ini options below and <value> is the new value. Not all ini options are supported.
