How to add video properties to status bar?

Post by SuperDude »

I use statusbar_selected_item_format=$f which displays a selected file's full path. I would like to have my status bar also show all video file types' Dimensions and Length properties whenever a file of a given video format is selected in the Result List.

This is probably an easy fix, but I can't figure out how to do this.

Any help is appreciated!

The easiest way would be to add the Dimensions and Length columns to the result list.
That way their value will be shown in the statsu bar too.

Please try the following statusbar format:

Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:

/statusbar_selected_item_format=[iflen:$length:,"Length: "[formatduration:$length:]" "][iflen:$dimensions:,"Dimensions: "$dimensions:" "]$f

Press ENTER in your Everything search box.



or, if you would like the length and dimensions after the full path:
/statusbar_selected_item_format=$f[iflen:$length:," Length: "[formatduration:$length:]][iflen:$dimensions:," Dimensions: "$dimensions:]
