Scroll bug after many files deleting

Post by nekota »

* Version
Everything 1.5.0.1342a

* Reproduction conditions
** Large icon view(maybe, reproduce under others view)
** Delete many files that spans multiple pages

* Symptoms
The scroll bar position jumps to the bottom.
I wish to select next file after deleted, but file focus jumps completely different file.
Could you fix this?

Everything tries to avoid automatically scrolling the view.

Press space bar to bring the focus into view.

Please try enabling keep_result_focus_in_view:
  • Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
    /keep_result_focus_in_view=1
  • Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
  • If successful, keep_result_focus_in_view=1 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.

Thank you for your feedback Nekota,

I have be running Everything internally with the setting on for a long time.
I will look into enabling this setting by default..

Everything 1.5.0.1343a will trial having keep_result_focus_in_view enabled by default.

I can see one potential issue with this setting, where you would like to keep the view scrolled to the top or bottom.

If you prefer to let the focus go out of view, please disable keep_result_focus_in_view.

To disable keep_result_focus_in_view:
  • Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
    /keep_result_focus_in_view=0
  • Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
  • If successful, keep_result_focus_in_view=0 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
Everything will never bring the focus into view if you:
