Find using selected item property, like SHA-256

Post by rgbigel »

It is quite practical to right-click in the SHA-256 column and select "copy SHA-256".
Using this, I can enter the find: SHA-256:<Insert key press> -- I do get everything with that SHA-256.

:?: Would it not be even nicer, if this also worked using just "find SHA-256" ? in analogy to the "copy SHA-256"?

It makes sense for other columns in a result list. It might also be a fairly simple enhancement.

In fact, but much more complicated: selecting more than 1 item in 1 column and find all of these... I'm being a glutton. :mrgreen:

Good idea, I will consider an option to Search property...

Thank you for the suggestion.



For now, please consider a Search for sha256 context menu item for all files:
  • From the Start menu, search for: regedit
  • Right click Registry Editor and click Run as administrator.
  • Navigate to:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell
  • Create a new key:
    Search SHA256

    (Can be anything you like)
  • Navigate to:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Search SHA256
  • Create a new key:
    command
  • Navigate to:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Search SHA256\command
  • Set the (default) value data to:
    "C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -s* size:[GETSIZE:"%1"] sha256:[GET-PROPERTY:"%1","sha256"]

Everything 1.5.0.1384a adds an option to search properties.

To show the right click / context menu Search Property item:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Context Menu tab on the left.
  • Select: Search Column Value
  • Click Show this item.
  • Click OK.
