Suggestion: change text "Remove Recent Temporary Exclude"

Post by NotNull »

Menu:Index > Remove Recent Temporary Exclude

One might think that this actually deletes the files / folders instead of removing them from the list.
(I might be overly cautious here ..)

'Remove' in Everything implies remove from a list.
'Delete' in Everything implies delete from disk.

I will consider rewording these menus.

Thanks for the suggestion.

More from the category "Cautious-mode"

The File List Editor can not only be a drop target for Everything, but also for for example file managers. I even use it to drag songs from my audioplayer to the File List Editor.

However, some of these applications use a different drag/drop method, that causes indicating a Move action (see below).
One might think that the files are actually being moved (which is not the case).
I doubt if something can be done about that (Windows behaviour), but at least want to mention it.

Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention.

I have put this on my TODO list to fix.

Everything 1.5.0.1256a should now show "copy" instead of "move".

It would be nice to show "Add to file list" instead of "copy" like Windows Media Player shows "Add to playlist". -I've put this on my TODO list.
