Can Everything show the length of video files?

Can Everything show the length U runtime of video files?

Does it had to rescan the files to determine the time?

(I set PlayTime up as a SendTo.
So I list files in Everything & SendTo PlayTime.

or
MediaInfo has a tooltip - that works in Windows Explorer [not in Everything]
or you could open a file in MediaInfo...

[Installer version, you may have to be aware during the install?
.7z version is clean.])

Many thanks!

SendTo? Sorry, what? But you cannot show the runtime of files being on drives not plugged in at the moment, right?

Correct. The file needs to be available.


Everything can read some "tag" information (music & pictures), like it can read an mp3's title with title:, but I don't think it can read time (length)?

That makes scanning (much) slower, I assume.

Alright, thank you very much!
