Can Everything show run time additionally to the column "Length" in hours a column with the duration in minutes?

Can Everything show run time additionally to the column "Length" in hours a column with the duration in minutes?

[void]

By default, Everything will show the length/duration in hours:minutes:seconds.

To show length/duration in total minutes only:

• Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
  /duration_format=m
• Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
• If successful, duration_format=m is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
  (the default is /duration_format= )

Custom your duration format



If you wish to keep the default length format and add another temporary column with a custom format, please use column formulas.

For example, add a temporary column to show the total length/duration in minutes:

addcolumn:column1 column1:=$length:/600000000

The length property is a FILETIME (100 nanoseconds)

Thank you very much!

I am not quite sure, I want to add the duration minutes column to some "Filters" for permanently (not temporarilly) use additionnally to the existing "Lenght" column. Is that possible?

[NotNull]

What happens if you add

addcolumn:column1 column1:=$length:/600000000

to the search of your filter(s)?

[Biff]

Looks like nothing (which I could tell) is happening.

[void]

Unfortunately, column formulas do not perform very well from a filter.

This is due to the order of operations.
The column formula is executed before your search.



Everything 1.5.0.1339a adds support for excel duration formats.

I recommend adjusting your duration format to show hours:minutes:seconds as well as minutes:

• Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
  /duration_format=[h]:mm:ss ([m] \m\i\n\s)
• Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
• If successful, duration_format=[h]:mm:ss ([m] \m\i\n\s) is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.

Example output:
0:09:46 (9 mins)

Ah, that is even much better than two different columns for the runtime. Works, looks great.

Thank you very much!
