I think such a common question could have been avoided.
What is the solution that will save the next user from asking the same question?

not maximized is OK.

Give it a month, and you'll get used to it.

In order for this discussion to be fair, it is very important to understand, what caused PATH to be replaced. An example:
Why path: is not replaced by fullpath:
"Bring Me Solutions”

Let's hear what's your alternative

Thanks. we will wait.

This one is normal. Everything will show the status bar part, even when there is no text. Are you expecting the part not to be shown at all? It's not critical. Yes, I'm expecting the part not to be shown at all, if there is no text there. If this part was fixed somewhere and of a fixed size, it wou...

1. When other than folder/file is selected, there is a space | |
(Usually there is the size of the folder/file in this place)
2. The text is cut at the right-bottom when the window is maximized.

It is critical that the context menu for the parent folder is shown immediately, not under another submenu. If you insist, I would suggest: Instead of "ParentFolderName", change it to "Parent Folder" (putting a ParentFolderName isn't clear), then all Everything commnds, and belo...

It seems that folders and files that are no longer available have also been given the transparent icon:

I think we can't use the same transparent icon for both cases.
Try to use strike or other trick for no longer available.

Stamimail

I think the answer would be that it's personal preference. There are couple ways, and you nees to test and choose the way that is preferred and convenient for you, what suits your needs better.
You can have the output via the GUI and you can also have it via a CMD or a batch file.

What about changing the Path column to Path Part or Location? Location sounds good. This mean location: will be the same as pathpart: I think you have to use the same methodology for all "search for <column header>". It's a lot more to type. The clarity, what path: including exactly, it i...

And why pathpart: is not mentioned at all in Help -> Search Syntax I was trying to search the path column. (without name column) path: was the first attempt to get results from the path column only. I think it's the most intuitive. Do you want to add the suffix "column" to make more intuit...

Stamimail

There is an idea of editable toolbar (where you can put checkboxes for "match case" "match path" etc):
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4956#p12606

But it might be better to make search status indicators in the search box area.

Stamimail

1. Consider "focus a pane" shortcuts (focus Folders pane, focus Preview pane...) to switch panes by keyboard (hotkeys).

2. Consider adding panes to this list:

Stamimail

I think that "search indicators" should not be in the status bar at all, but implemented somehow in the search box area.
All information about the search should be in one place - the search box area.
That way it will be noticeable to the user, without the need for tricks.

No. But you don't need to look for an indication either. Just to be aware and take things with caution.

Is there point to test version changes (what versions to compare?) or to wait to the upcoming version?

It looks like that making code to open source is a personal question and decision of the developer. I believe this means (among other things) that he will have to spend more time reading other people's code and ideas, and dealing more with code management, instead of just coding and implement his ow...

Stamimail

I think you can also do it with "Full row select" checked.
Look at your context menu.
There is "unclear" H:\ entry.

This entry is "Parent folders" feature. I think you can paste via there.

Please test:
Options -> Results tab -> uncheck "Full row select"

That's right.
I'm talking about a new feature, for the users who normally use a blank search when opening a new search.
I wonder why Firefox has only Duplicate Tab and not Duplicate Window.

Stamimail

The user will be able to duplicate window/tab and make changes.
This will let the user to compare the same search (and layouts etc...) with small changes.

Stamimail

Why the default is not:
/treeview_match_only_when_shown=0
like Windows behaviour? because an address bar is missing?

What about Presets for Rename?
Users will want to save and share with others common renaming tasks.

Old Filenames:

Old Format: %1
New Format: [year:$date-modified:]-[month:$date-modified:]-[day:$date-modified:] - %1

I mean everything you can do with filters that is not just filters, should move to bookmarks, and leave filters to be just filters.

I never understood why it is not possible to move the special features of filters to bookmarks, and leave the filters to be just filters.

F2 is commonly "edit". The advanced search does edit the search. I don't remember programs that use F2 in similar way. I guess if the advanced search had looked different, I could have understood its connection to F2. F3 is reserved for the future find in results feature. Ctrl + F3 might ...

Make a backup of your filenames before doing anything from File -> Export. I'm not sure how it will help. How to restore?

I did not fully understand the problem in the Hungarian language, because even if there is a comma in the middle of strings (folder names and files), the string is surrounded by quotation marks.

Can/Should "Set Favorite..." replace "Set Run Count..."?

Another suggestion is, to use separate columns for each: RunCount and Favorites.
But use the same database "Run History-1.5a.csv" with 4 columns:
Filename,Run Count,Favorites,Last Run Date

Stamimail

IDEA: Floating-point in "Set Run Count..." for combining RunCount and Favorites Using float-point in RunCount (Run History.csv) can let us use both RunCount and Favorites in one column. For Example: 123.4 or 4.123 RunCount = 123 Favorite = 4 Favorite > RunCount (Normally) RunCount > Favor...

I will consider an option to not update the date run when setting the run count. For now, Everything will update the date run when setting the run count.
