[feature request ] sort bar visible/available in all views not just in details view grid

Post by asamirid »

greetings πŸ‘‹πŸΌπŸ‘‹πŸΌ..

it's all in the post title, i hope to have the option to keep the sort bar visible and usable in all view options not only in details view windows ..

because sorting the results is usually needed in all viewing and handling scenarios ..

pictures below to show what i meant ..

To show the header bar in all views:
  • Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
    /thumbnail_view_header=1
  • Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
  • If successful, thumbnail_view_header=1 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
thumbnail_view_header

To create a bookmark to toggle your header in thumbnail mode:
  • In Everything, from the Bookmarks menu, click Add to bookmarks.
  • Change the Name to: Toggle thumbnail header
  • Change the Search to: /thumbnail_view_header=!
  • Optionally set a keyboard shortcut.
  • Click OK.
Opening this bookmark from the Bookmark menu or keyboard shortcut will toggle the header in thumbnail mode.
This might be useful for some users that don't always want to see the header.



More information:
/thumbnail_view_header=! is a search command.
You can change your Everything settings from a search.
! is a special value which flips the setting from on to off and off to on.

asamirid, I save these to spread the good word and gospel to other users as it arises. And so I can remember what strange settings I'm using that deviate from vanilla Everything. And one day I'll ask @void to consider making it a default setting. :)

aha raccoon, i understand now, i also keep my "everything custom settings" snippets in my notes and keep updating it, but i have another primary use for ev bookmarks..

and here is another question πŸ‘€.. where can we post and share our best personal ev customization and settings, this knowledge is spread out all over the forum posts here and it should be collected and shared..

Someone else has already created a thread of bookmarks that they share. If you want to add to it, or create your own post as a personal public diary, I see no reason why not. I have one kicking around somewhere that I haven't updated in a while. Just bookmark it so you don't lose track.

In thumb views I tend to use the shortcuts like Ctrl-1 for Name, Ctrl-6 for modified, they are quick to learn if you use them
However it's easy and very effective for thumbnail view to make a shortcut to Advanced Sort so it pops up and you can choose what you want (then Alt-Arrowdown to make the list drop down).

* SUGGESTION: It would be rather handy to have a hidden command that you can make a shortcut to that pops the advanced finder up with the first droplist already dropped-down.

I suspect something is going wrong here when using Everything 1.5.0.1330a (x64):
Everything exits and the focus returns to the previously used task.

Where should I see my changes here?

Can you please check that.

Thanks for the crash report tuska,

Everything is crashing because the 1.5a instance is disabled.

I'll post a fix soon.

Sounds very useful, but all this gives me is 11 lines from name: through instance:
Nothing about changed settings, although I have some
What is expected?

This is most likely related to the crash with disabling the 1.5a instance.

Everything 1.5.0.1331a fixes a crash with Help -> Troubleshooting Information.

Troubleshooting Information should now show all changed settings. (except appearance settings)

Troubleshooting Information will show all changes in the next alpha update.

I'll make a new topic once Troubleshooting Information is working correctly.

For now, Troubleshooting Information requires Everything to be in debug mode. (Tools -> Debug -> Console)

Service can be one of the following:
  • 0 = Everything Service not installed.
  • 1 = Everything Service installed and running.
  • 2 = Everything Service installed, but is not running.
  • 3 = N/A
  • 4 = Everything Service not installed, connected to indexing process.
  • 5 = N/A
  • 6 = Everything Service installed, connected to Everything Service or indexing process.
