about:bookmarks

Post by Michi »

Can you please add some additional about commands like:
  • open the bookmark location in Windows explorer, similar to about:db-location
  • open the bookmarks.csv file itself to open up in an editor?
Thanks!

I'll add the following search commands in the next alpha update:

about:bookmarks.csv
about:filters.csv
about:macros.csv
about:plugins.ini

These commands will open Windows Explorer and select the specified data file.



I will consider an option to open the bookmarks.csv in Notepad.
For now, these files should not be modified while Everything is running.

Thank you for the suggestions.



about:ini will currently open the folder containing your settings and data. (and select your Everything.ini)

Everything 1.5.0.1337a adds the following search commands:

about:bookmarks.csv
about:filters.csv
about:macros.csv
about:plugins.ini
about:everything.ini
about:everything.exe



The filename is adjusted to include the current instance name.

Please do not modify these files while Everything is running.
Everything will keep these files in memory and flush them to disk (if changed in Everything) when you exit Everything.



The about:<filename> search is also expanded as a macro. (only from the main search window)
The matching file should be shown in the result list. (if indexed)

You can apply search modifiers, or append to the about:<filename> search.
For example:
wholefilename:about:everything.exe
