Path output replacement

[eugenesv]

Instead of the long paths it would be nice to be able to show a replacement string

• C:\Users\my_long_user\AppData\Roaming
• 🗿Roam

This would fit a lot more data in the Path column

[void]

Please consider narrow paths in Everything 1.5.

Narrow paths show the last part of the path first.

For example:
Roaming (C:\Users\my_long_user\AppData)

To enable narrow paths:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  narrow
• Select: path_narrow
• Set the value to: true
• Click OK.

path_narrow



Please consider path ellipsis in Everything 1.5.

The first part and last part of the path are always shown.

For example:
C:\...\Roaming

To enable paths ellipsis:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  path
• Select: path_ellipsis
• Set the value to: true
• Select: path_narrow
• Set the value to: false
• Click OK.

path_ellipsis



I will consider an option to rewrite paths for display. ( C:\Users\my_long_user\AppData => )
Thank you for the suggestion.

Thanks, in general the ellipsis option is better as drive letters are important, however, they suffer from one big flaw that this "lossless" replacement would fix - they break vertical alignment of similar paths (since ... will cut out differently sized middle chunks), so it's harder to spot same/different paths

So for general use I unfortunately have disabled them and just scroll
