how to abbreviate column headings?

Post by jimspoon »

Some property names are rather long, so I'm wondering, is there another way to substitute an abbreviation for the property name in the column header?

I've found add-column column-x; column-x:=columnforumula, column-x-label:"newlabel" - but it's a little complicated.

I figure there's another way but I haven't found it yet. Maybe something like "add-column:Alternate Date Stream Names:ADS Names"? Or maybe a right-click Rename option on the column header?

Using 1.5a 1366a.

In my opinion the label method you described is the best one.


You can also "translate" specific entries using the localization_strings ini setting, but that affects more than just the column header (like menu entries, shown propertyname, etc)

But if you want to test:
- Exit Everything completely
- Edit the everything ini in the program folder:

Code: Select all

localization_strings=Alternate Data Stream Names=ADS Names;
- Save
- Start Everything



localization_strings
