Cursor focus when editing filenames

Post by scorpiokeys2412 »

Hi all,

When renaming files using Everything (i.e. right click a file > rename file) I'm seeing the cursor lose focus within half a second & it then switches back to non-edit mode if I don't continue typing straight away / at a rapid pace.

Is there a setting that can make this a little more forgiving? i.e. in line with attempting the same file rename action using Windows Explorer?

Thank you for the issue report scorpiokeys2412,

I am unable to reproduce the issue my end.
Could you please capture a debug log:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, check Verbose.
  • From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Start Debug Logging....
  • Right click a file and click Rename.
  • Wait for Everything to automatically cancel the rename.
  • From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Stop Debug Logging....
    ---This will open your %TEMP%\Everything Debug Log.txt
  • Please upload this file in a bug report

Thank you for the logs.

Could you please repeat the process.
Please make sure Verbose is checked under Tools -> Debug.
Otherwise, the rename events are not logged.

Thank you for the verbose logs.

Are you using single click open?

From the logs, the rename is cancelled because an action is performed on mouse hover.
-I am working on a fix..

Thanks for spotting that.

Yes I have the single click open set at the moment per my Windows Explorer default.

Would you recommend I change this to double click for now?

Just in Everything for now, under Tools -> Options -> Results -> Single click Open = Double click

Everything 1.5.0.1388a will no longer apply the mouse hover action when renaming.

Renaming should no longer be canceled when hovering over an item.
