Thoughts for Everything future

[mariamatcha]

Hi @void, I wonder what's your plans for Everything future. Have you ever thought about taking Everything to the next level and turning it (more) into a file manager? Clearly it would not be an old school type, but something much more advanced, one where you can get all files at once without the need of navigating thorough. I don't know, I can imagine at some point (maybe as another app, better if it's in the same one) the possibility of creating buttons, toolbars, some API to access certain functions, etc. You could still let other programs use the current SDK (1.4), but keep all the new features just for Everything. There would hardly be another file manager that would surpass it, and eventually they would end up becoming obsolete.

There are already file managers like Total Commander which full integrate Everything.
I use Everything for all search operation and TC for managing the files.
This is much easier than make this in Everything,

I've generally thought of it as being a file manager already - I already do everything in it, except very occasional tasks.
What sort of tasks were you thinking of in particular?

You might want to familiarize yourself with FreeComander and its option

Like user host.epp said, all you need is something like Total Commander to run along with Everything
