Time relevance of Sort

[nagan]

What will be the duration of a custom sort in a session.Suppose I sort by size it does work out for sometime. But after some hibernated/ resume sessions if I were to sort by size again It takes the same amount of time eventhough there has been no significant addtions/deletions to the list. Usually hibernations are just extensions of the same session and I believe the sort should take only the incremental time.

[void]

I believe the sort should take only the incremental time.

Each Everything window has it's own cache.
Everything's cache will last forever until the window is closed.
Pressing F5 to refresh will delete all this cache.

Re-sorting should be using the same cached information after a hibernate...
If the problem persists, please send some debug output when sorting after the hibernate.

I could get the same behavior in my XP system in a span of say 5`7 minutes. After running debug , I did a size sort , and after 2 minutes I checked on the date modified ,it was immediate.However after say 7 min , I clicked on the date modified it took the time as it did for the first sort. I have enclosed the debug ..

It seems after a certain time the cache wanes and the same may hold for Win 7 too.

[void]

I have updated my last post:

Each Everything window has it's own extended information cache.
This cache will last forever until the Everything window is closed.

Microsoft Windows will also keep this extended information cached.
Closing a window and re-opening within a few minutes and sorting should still be fast.

[nagan]

If there is only a single instance , could that be minimized to tray by way of OPTIONS with a provision for a shortcut key. File>> New Window may be treated differently.Ctrl + W closes the window (ideal when lot of windows are open)

[void]

Maybe an option to hide the Everything window when it is closed. This would allow the cache to persist between opening and closing windows.

Many will be closing/opening the window to do away with erasing of a search query. If it were to be closed rather than minimise even if you hide it will be better if the search bar is also blanked.
