UI freeze during selecting bunch of files then drag them to another program

[elcato]

I am sorry to be the carrier of a new bug again .
When selecting bunch of files, like 200 hundred files, then dragging them to a program, the stage of "Building items list" that we can see on the bottom bar takes some decent time. Which understandable, but after few seconds in this stage the UI freezes, which makes the mouse unusable for other programs after dragging those selected files.

suggestion fix:
adding an option to the "File" or "Edit" menu to "Build items list".
This way one can select files, press "Build items list", and when it is ready to use, you can then drag the files to another program.
Also this way the UI will never be frozen, the mouse will be always usable, and drag and drop will be always usable.

Please try enabling simple pidls for drag drop:

• 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:
  drag
• Select: drag_drop_simple_pidl
• Set the value to: true
• Click OK.

Simple pidls are just filenames.
Enabling simple pidls will prevent Everything from gathering extended file information from disk for dragged files.
Some external programs may want this extended file information.



I will consider a build item list option.
Thank you for the suggestion.

Nice .. enabling this option did the trick and made the process a lot faster. Thank you
