Hello , I would like to copy file names with modified dates both together at the same time without the need of making one copy for files names and then add the result after copying results from other column

From the Bookmarks menu, click Add to bookmarks...
Change the Name to:
Copy Name and Date Modified

Change the Search to:
/copy $name: <formatfiletime:$date-modified:>

Click OK.

Select your files and run this bookmark.
Adjust the bookmark search as needed.

/copy
<formatfiletime:...>

It's a bit complicated , I see now , thank you

Wish it can be more simple , how about an option to save current results with current columns to .txt file because when I tried to export it only copied the filename with it's path however I Dates column was on.

Thank you

Please try exporting as CSV:
  • In Everything, from the File menu, click Export....
  • Change Save As Type to: CSV
  • Choose a filename and click Save.

Perhaps one could also include the column headings here?

Code: Select all

/copy $name: | $size: | <formatfiletime:$date-modified:> 

Code: Select all

Filters.csv | 14133 | 20.01.2024 14:59

Request

Code: Select all

Name        | Size  | Date Modified
Filters.csv | 14133 | 20.01.2024 14:59
This would allow you to clearly identify the date column (Date Modified, Date Created, Date Accessed, etc.),
without having to call up the bookmark first to see what you have saved there.

Another example:
If the focus is mistakenly on an image file and I use my shortcut as usual for
/copy $name: | $size: | <formatfiletime:$date-modified:> 
instead of correctly
/copy $name: | $size: | <formatfiletime:$date-taken:> 
then I get an unwanted date as a result.
--------------

After executing the shortcut for the bookmark, the selected files are deselected
and scrolled to the bottom of the screen, although they were still at the top of the results list at first.

E.g. with this setting the focus remains and the file is not deselected:
Everything Options > Keyboard > File | Copy Full Name to Clipboard > CTRL+SHIFT+C (Result List)

Please check.

Good news: configuring the copy_as_csv_header to true in Advanced Options will create this header.
(untested though)
