Is it possible to extend the dropdown list of filter options to show 40 entries instead of 30?
Is there a setting which controls this in EVERYTHING.INI ?
Extending filter dropdown to more entries
Re: Extending filter dropdown to more entries
To set the maximum number of visible items in the filter bar dropdown list:
Toggle the filter bar for changes to take effect:
filter_visible_count_max
- In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
/filter_visible_count_max=40
where 40 is the maximum number of items to show.
30 is the default.
Toggle the filter bar for changes to take effect:
- In Everything, from the View menu, uncheck Filter Bar.
- In Everything, from the View menu, check Filter Bar.
filter_visible_count_max

Great! Thank you.

This worked for me. However I tried it recently in another instance of Everything and this time it didn't work.void wrote: ↑Mon May 30, 2022 12:29 am To set the maximum number of visible items in the filter bar dropdown list:Toggle the filter bar for changes to take effect:

The INI file in both cases contains the entry "visible_count_max = 40" (without quotes).

Please try closing and reopening the Everything window after changing filter_visible_count_max.
Re: Extending filter dropdown to more entries
Closing and opening doesn't help.
It may or may not be a clue to what's happening but ... when I zoom the view from 100% to 110% then I can see a few extra entries in the Filter dropdown.

There's no visible_count_max ini setting.The INI file in both cases contains the entry "visible_count_max = 40" (without quotes).
Please also make sure there's no spaces around the =
The ini setting should look like:
filter_visible_count_max=40
