How could I get the columns like they are set in the filter?

Why are the columns different than the ones set in the filter?


How could I get the columns like they are set in the filter?

[NotNull]

The columns specified in the filter should all be there, just in a different order.

[Biff]

OK, but they are not. Respectively may be they are, but there are more than the chosen. I would like to get only the columns chosen.

Why wouldn't they be in the chosen order, in the same way they would have been placed? How would you get them in the order you want without having to do it all over again?

[NotNull]

The screenshots show that currently a filter named M<blurred text> is active, whereas the configuration is shown for a filter called "M".
Are these the same?

EDIT Ah, I see: columns are there but are added to the existing ones.
I do not know why that is.

[Biff]

Yes, it is the same filter.

OK, thank you very much anyway.

The specified filter columns will only be added.
Filters will not change your existing column positions.

Either:
Use a bookmark and specify the columns and order.
-or-
In your filter, leave columns as (No change) and set the columns with columns: in your search.

Added to the columns set in the home tab? Oops, never noticed that.

Filters will not change your existing column positions.

So no matter how you set the order here

it doesn't change the order of the columns? Why is that? What is the advantage of that? So why can you move up / down the items there at all? May be a hint in the "Select" window would be good, like: Select Columns (are added, do not effect order) or so. Or in a hover message or so.
The order set in he "Home" tab seems to be the same order the columns have. Is this a coincidence?
One might think that if that's the case, it's also the case with "Select Columns" or in the columns field in the filters window.

In your filter, leave columns as (No change) and set the columns with columns: in your search.

Can one easyly transfer / move the columns in "Select Columns" to the search field to the "Filters" window? Does the case matter there? Is lowercase needed? Do column names with more than one word per column have to have a hyphen (seems to be like that, else the result list is empty)?

I want to add "path" twice to not to have to scroll from the right side in the result list to the left side (when the columns do not fit on the display). That does not seem to be possible?

Why is under "date-recently-changed" no value?

You can specify the columns and column order under Tools -> Options -> Home -> Columns.

Under Edit Filter, to the right of Columns, click Select....
Select all properties and press Ctrl + C
You can paste this selection in any other property select window or column organize window.
Case doesn't matter.
Each canonical property name must be on a new line.
I'll look into supporting a semicolon delimited list of property names.

You cannot add properties more than once.

Why is under "date-recently-changed" no value?

Only recently modified files will have a date recently changed value. (typically changed within a day - week)
Use Date Changed if you want values for all files/folders.

Date Recently Changed is an Everything database of files that changed in your index.
Date Changed is the NTFS MFT change timestamp.

Many thanks!

Is that value indexed anyway or will it need to be indexed as a separate property that is time consuming?

Date Changed is the NTFS MFT change timestamp.

So it will be indexed quickly?

The value is indexed in the Everything Recent Change database.

To enable the Everything Recent Change database:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Indexes tab on the left.
• Check Index Recent Changes.
• Click OK.

Files that have changed in your Everything index since Everything was started are stored in this database.

Everything does not gather Date Changed information during indexing time.
Indexing Date Changed will be quite slower than indexing Date Modified or Date Created.

Okey, thank you very much!
