Saving the result list as displayed

Post by mschmitt »

Is there a way to save/capture/copy/share/export selected rows in the result list, as it is displayed, in Everything 1.5? All I see is Export, which creates the .efu CSV file. Control-C to copy to the clipboard doesn't seem to do anything.

The .efu file has the last-changed date in some unknown format, and the size is in bytes. But if all I want to do is send what Everything is displaying to someone else, it seems like there should be an easier way to do it.

(I have an aversion to sending pictures of text data).

(Without thinking of other means, without thinking at all...)


See what /copy, mentioned here: Keyboard shortcut to copy stem:<filenames> ?, might do for you.

Please change the Save as Type to: CSV (or TSV) when exporting to save information as displayed.


Please use File -> Read Extended Information before exporting to gather any unindexed information.


You can set a keybind to copy the current selection as CSV/TSV:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Keyboard tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    copy as
  • Select Result List | Copy as CSV or Result List | Copy as TSV.
  • Click Add....
  • Press a new keyboard shortcut and click OK.
  • Click OK.

Thanks, that works. Control-C now copies to clipboard as tab-separated columns.

I missed that File > Export (control-S) had an option to change the export format.
