I just saw it here viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1677#:~:text=The%20 ... %20volumes.

Excellent, thank you!

I use the portable version of Everything 1.5, and since I'm a nerd for this software I like to download every new alpha version released, even if it's 3 or 4 per month. The thing is, every time I want to replace the old .exe file with the newest one, a Windows' dialog tells me that everything is run...

How do you tag with a background color? Tried to look for that feature but couldn't find it.

Once you see it you can't unsee it

"Spacebar" is the key word in my comment!

Hey @void, are you still considering this? I feel like a thumbnails + details view could really draw more people into the software, those looking to replace their file explorer

Was about to post something similar but I'll bump this one instead. Unrelated to winmm, it'd be cool to at least be able to control the play/pause of the preview with the spacebar.

Thanks, I changed the post title and content to reflect the actual issue.

Omit Results would work here but it's not as great as filters because it's easier to toggle the later with the filter sidebar.

I made a filter to temporarily omit a folder using !"D:/XYZ" as the search. I tried to combine it with the video filter holding down CTRL in the sidebar but it just ORs. It does work using macros names, e.g. typing "excFolderXYZ: video:" in the search bar. I'm using 1.5.0.1360a ...

This is the title bar when maximized, bit weird isn't it?
Can't unsee now, kind of TOC trigger.

Just like that yeah! But in Everything's freeware form haha

Not quite the same as a detail panel, my suggestion implies showing all files properties in a general view, without bringing focus on a particular one. Every property in a line break below the file's name.

I know that thumbnail view should be just that, but I would love to see some extra info in that grid format, not all properties like paths would look clean, but some like the ones I included in this example I made in 2 minutes with photoshop look compact and useful

Lovely feature, but it logs literally everything, which I think is what most people using this feature wants, but is there an option to log only an specific drive or maybe omit certain folders? Most of the strings are windows files syncing or cache stuff from my browser.

Yeah I changed the .ini and it worked. I'll test a bit to see how it works.

Does journal_log works on portable?

it may be worth setting up a separate, bare bones, instance of Everything just for the index journal. Why a separate one? I don't get that part. I've set the maximum size to 0, which doesn't, apparently, put a limit on the size of the index journal. @void do you confirm? I have a feeling it could b...

Basically I saw a episode from a show, downloaded subtitles from inside the media player and after I saw it I send it to the recicle bin and later I permanently deleted everything. Now I want to know exacly WHEN I did all of that... I have no idea how to recover that information but I do know that t...

When I'm searching through my videos with the default video filter, my *.ts video files mix with those written in typescript, can Everything distinguish them by default so I can only see the real video files?

Chill my friend! Everything is probably one of the most updated softwares I've ever seen, it's kind of ironic that @void got us so used to having fast releases that one month seems like an eternity but we shouldn't be making post about it.

Thank you! I deactivated it, I guess I should delete the post?

Although, if it's a feature, not all mp3 files where playing on my testing, so I guess there's a bug there anyways

What is your "default" media player?

Windows 10 and the default player of W10, Groove Music I think it's called now.

I don't know if it's a preview file feature, but it seems like a bug since there're no play/pause buttons anywhere. It happens just by clicking (just once, no double) in a row where there's a mp3 file on it. Edit: I did more testing, seems random, not all mp3 do it, maybe 50/50 but I can't find a pa...

Thanks for mentioning "Media Preview", @hamid56! Looks like a very useful preview handler (not tested yet) Does Media Preview support taking a thumbnails beyond the start of the video? (that was OP's major issue) Did my research @horst.epp and the features page says that it supports what ...

The default preview thumbnail for videos are from the first seconds of the file, making the preview mostly useless in cases where all videos have an intro https://i.imgur.com/fp1rQ4P.gif Is there any possibility to make an optional "extract a frame at 10% of the file for preview" or someth...

Thank you for the fix and the great work!

I'm using the latest 1.5.0.1301a in its portable version (x64) but I noticed it in 1.5.0.1298a too before upgrading, I'll send you the .ini as soon as possible.

I'm using JEDEC size standard but it happens in all of the options

Another idea is to export the results with the Length and Size columns to CSV and use Excel to calculate and sort by the bitrates. That's my aproach right now, not ideal, things like time got exported as eg 40:36 and not as 00:40:36, so Excel automatically assumes it's 40 hours 36 minutes and 0 sec...

Everything 1.5 Alpha introduces Advanced Sort Secondary sort wouldn't do much in this case, a folder filled with mp3 or mp4 rarely have files matching size or length. It would mostly be a primary sort, with just very casual secondary sort. However, your question actually seems like you might be try...

The Idea is kind of excel-ish where you can make operations between columns, of course the only valid user case that it occurs to me is size/length, since something like sort:width*md5 makes no sense, but people can suggest more. In regards of size/length usefulness, imagine these as you files sound...
