Sorry for missing that, preprocessor has this.
I also tested this get-setting preprocessor, and it is working very nice.
Now, only implementing a get_setting() formula function is left for this.

Thank you very much and also for your consideration.

Hi, I have seen a method to read config value and apply settings according to it: Like in the "https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=64526#p64526" post's "/right_sidebar_wide=right_sidebar_wide==325?1000:325". But how to do that as a formula, preprocessor, search functi...

Thank you for the fixes,
They seem to work nice till now.

nikov

The Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> new_inherit setting now applies to tabs. This still does not apply to tabs but applies to only windows: shown below: file.gif The preferred method for locking columns is to set your home columns and lock the home column settings. Yes, but this does not support lo...

nikov

Thank you very much it is working nice. But I also asked: How to create a list of filenames separated by tabs instead of newlines? Is there currently any quick way to do this with Everything? That's why I was asking a no newline version of "/copy" and "/copy-header". Something s...

nikov

Everything version 1.5.0.1374a appends 2 CRLFs for "/copy-header".

Guess this was supposed to be added to "/copy" but instead this was added to "/copy-header" due to slip/typo.

Thank you.

nikov

The following search is not working: #eval:0||1 Also, the following command is not working: Everything64.exe -search "#eval:0||1" Is it intended that "#eval:0||1" should be replaced with "#[eval:0||1]" in the above cases? But then there should be notes/cautions indicat...

nikov

Code: Select all

columna:=0||1 addcolumn:columna

outputs [0] but it should output [1].

Thanks.

nikov

Thank you for the helps. Unfortunately, it will also add an additional new line on all other lines. I noticed that, I tried to mean there should be a modifier/parameter to prevent appending newlines: such as: /copy:nonewline: $name:&tab: would create a list of filenames separated by tabs instead...

nikov

Thank you very much and also for quick response. It is working nice. Also, a small issue: I tried to make an efu file using this copied text by post-processing. But I noticed Everything's exported efu file contains a CRLF at the end but using this copy method I cannot directly produce that CRLF at ...

nikov

Greetings,
Is there a search function or bookmark or any quick way to copy listed columns or export as efu?

Similar to:

Code: Select all

copy-column:Name;Size

or

Code: Select all

efu-export-column:Name;Size efu-export-path:C:\file.efu

?

I mean, any quick way will suffice.

Thank you.

nikov

Thank you meteorquake, I also thought about this "nop:" Search Function. But the problem with the "nop:" Search Function is: Suppose, I started a new window with a title named "topic" using: Everything64.exe -new-window -search "nop:topic" Then I opened a boo...

nikov

Thank you,
Also, another thing to note, registry and group policy method is not fully portable. It does support portable Everything. But it needs to store/write settings outside of the portable directory to work. Thus, it is not fully portable method. So, a fully portable method would be nice.

nikov

There should be search functions that cover all window/view options. If there is any missing, please let me know. Such as, how to exclusively open a window/tab with a specific Theme, Fonts and Colors (this should not affect other past or future windows/tabs and should not be inherited, of course). ...

nikov

Greetings, Is there a command line option that would open a new window with a custom window title? Something similar to this?: -new-window <window_title> -no-new-window <window_title> Then it can be considered for a new tab as well, like this?: -new-tab <tab_title> -no-new-tab <tab_title> Thank you.

nikov

Thank you for discussing about so many options to achieve this. The "preview:" Search Function and "home_remove_layout" setting is a nice way to do this. But they are not for all config settings. Also, "new_inherit=0" does not work for all settings, such as disabling t...

nikov

Everything 1.5.0.1373a fixes an issue with -enable-result-omissions/-disable-result-omissions being applied after the new window/tab was created. Thank you. Tested. Now, both "-disable-result-omissions" and "-enable-result-omissions" are working nice. Please don't use -config-va...

nikov

Greetings, Is there any way to run a program from Everything as a Search Command? I looked into the Search Commands but found none. I thought, there should be commands something like these: /run <filename> [<args>] /runwait <filename> [<args>] Use Case: These can be used to inform an external progra...

nikov

Everything 1.5.0.1372a adds the following command line options: -enable-result-omissions -disable-result-omissions Set the default result omissions state with the advanced home_omit_results setting. Thank you. But this does not work properly if "Tools->Options...->General->UI->Run in backgroun...

nikov

Yes, nice find reitwal, I have checked the followings only in version 1366a. And they all work. The only problem I found till now in version 1366a regarding this is: If the properties are non-indexed, they are very slow but they should not be very slow because without formula Everything can retrieve...

nikov

My reasoning of why improving "get-property" is better than adding "$parent-size:": "$runcount:" cannot be derived from formula. No mathematics or simple tricks can derive "run-count:", thus, it should be kept as a property. On the other hand, you can derive &...

nikov

NotNull wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 9:17 am Ran into this too.
get-property (formula as well as preprocessor function) works only on files, not folders.

@NotNull
Then why are you satisfied with only "$parent-size:"?
Wouldn't it be more generalized if get-property (formula as well as preprocessor function) was improved?

nikov

I was trying to replicate NotNull's suggestion using column formula like this: addcolumn:a:1 a-label:="tmpSize" a:=getproperty($path:,"size") but I was amazed because it was not working, even though Everything knows "$path:"'s size (it is visible in the "Size"...

nikov

config-value changes the setting in the INI file ("everything.ini"), so that is a more definitive/permanent way. Yes, that is maybe the reason the setting is applied before Everything starts and also, after 1 second later you are changing it back with the following command: START Everythi...

nikov

Thank you NotNull, I didn't notice about "search-command" method and then I tried in this method: Everything64.exe -search-command "/disable-omit-results" -search "C:\" -select C:\file.ogg But it has a side-effect, it deactivates selection in this case. Just a guess: T...

nikov

Previous reply was updated with another example for more clarity.

nikov

Thank you therube, Yes, it can be done with multi-instance but it comes with problems/inconveniences. Such as, you always have to copy the whole instance every time you start a search without omit results. If the instance is big, it will take a lot of time to copy and will take up a lot of addition...

nikov

Greetings, Is it possible to exclusively open a window/tab with a setting enabled/disabled? Such as this command: Everything64.exe -config-value omit_results=0 -search "C:\" -select C:\file.ogg But this command sets "omit_results=0" for subsequent windows/tabs too but I want this...

nikov

Updated previous post cell: Thank you very much. It is now working nice. But just a minor problem exist. Though this is not related to addcolumn or any column but similar as this is related to selection, is that: Once "Index-->Enable Result Omissions" is checked/unchecked Everything starts...

nikov

Thank you for these additions.
Also hope, that consideration of a default left margin for every column remains, as this maybe helpful for the "listview_margin_left" option unaware users.

nikov

Thank you very much. It is now working nice. But just a minor problem exist, and maybe this existed before and maybe not related to addcolumn, is that: Sometime or for some directories, Everything starts re-querying ("Querying...") again after some time (~0.5 seconds) later (for ~short ti...

nikov

Searching in the forum it seems this comes every now and then. Thus, this can be implemented just as a basic synonym list replacer and spellchecker which can be slow but it is fine as an alpha; other additions and optimizations such as speed, highlighting, hints, etc can be added/optimized later as ...

nikov

I liked the way a quick sketch for a UI has been made too. :) And yes, this can be a useful feature. And this maybe sort of search engines do. And it will be nice if this is also implemented for content search too. This feature may decrease the speed of search, in such case I assume an indicator by ...

nikov

Thanks and yes also, this maybe exception, and may not be the trend in most filemanagers. Trend here at least I tried to mean the most familiar/seen to the general public. Specially in desktop/laptop arena. As far as I can remember, maybe I have not seen someone using icons combined with other colu...

nikov

Added column by addcolumn has occasional surprises, don't know why they are not treated just like the other columns...
but anyway many thanks for this fix in the next alpha update.

nikov

Greetings, In Everything, other column damages selection if there is sorted column which is added by addcolumn search function. ( Bug ? ) Explanation with an example: Suppose, in Everything, the "Length" column is enabled/visible, then I run the following command: Everything64.exe -search ...

nikov

Which can be nice too, but I very much like a first column which is not "Name" column and a "Name" column but with icons associated with it. In this setting, to me, always showing icons in the first column will not look comfortable/nice. Trend/familiarity should not be always fo...

nikov

Thank you, nice to know.

nikov

Not happening anymore.
Thank you for the fix and quick speed.

Also, what are/were those T and N preprocessor functions? What is their status now? Are they removed or renamed?

nikov

Happening. Maybe it behaves as if N: is replaced with the character 0 and T: is replaced with empty.

nikov

Thank you. I actually didn't think of icon padding or its use case. I just thought it will be maybe better for some users if they find some pixels of left margin by default for all columns by the same amount. Then, if you talk about such icon customization, then, shouldn't we also care about other ...

nikov

Thank you for the fix. But is the "Name" column is still considered a special column for this? Because even if you set "listview_margin_left" to 0 (the default) the "Name" column still gives some pixels of left margin. But others don't. Is it because of the icons assoc...

nikov

Thank you for the prompt fix and this is working fine like before.

nikov

Why "name:", "basename:", "stem:" is not working in version 1.5.0.1368a compared to 1.5.0.1367a? Any significant change happened to the Search Syntax/Preprocessor?

Thank you.

nikov

Thank you for the updates.

nikov

Thank you for the updates/changes, But in the stable INI webpage (https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/ini/), "highlighted_current_sort_foreground_color" and "highlighted_current_sort_background_color" was supposed to be renamed to "current_sort_highlighted_foregroun...

Assuming a line ends with '\r' or '\n' character or 'End of file' (EOF), this should work:
ext:TXT regex:content:".*?\\(?:[\r\n]|$)"
