Some features for 1.5

Post by vsub »

Wow,since when this was added,I never notice it and I do update Everything from time to time

1.It would be nice to have a way to manage the windows(merge all into one or specific ones to a specific window)
2.Add an option to open a new tap or a new window from the tray icon(currently I can create a new window but not a new tab...unless there is some ini only option that I don't know about
3.Remember view mode between tabs
4.When drag dropping an item to the path column,drop the item in that folder
For example I drag an item from the explorer to the everything window and if I drop it over the path column,copy\move the file into the folder I am hovering

Thank you for your feedback vsub,

Tabs are currently experimental.
(I haven't made an official post about them yet)


1.It would be nice to have a way to manage the windows(merge all into one or specific ones to a specific window)
I will consider an option to merge all windows into tabs.
New windows will likely be replaced with tabs once they are stable, usable and useful.
I will likely add a "Open new windows in tabs" option under Tools -> Options -> UI.


2.Add an option to open a new tap or a new window from the tray icon(currently I can create a new window but not a new tab...unless there is some ini only option that I don't know about
The option is hidden at the moment:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Advanced tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    tab
  • Select open_new_window_in_tab.
  • Set the value to: true
  • Click OK.

3.Remember view mode between tabs
1359a should.
There was issues with 1358a and earlier.


4.When drag dropping an item to the path column,drop the item in that folder
For example I drag an item from the explorer to the everything window and if I drop it over the path column,copy\move the file into the folder I am hovering
Use Ctrl or Shift or Ctrl+Shift to drop on the path column.

-or-

Use right-click drag drop.

-Everything doesn't do this without the modifier key or right-click dragdrop to prevent accidental drops.



Thank you for the suggestions.

1.Thanks
2.Nice,btw I don't know if this is a bug but option "bookmark_open_action" does not work when I set it to open in new tab(the option opens a new window instead)

If I enable "open_new_window_in_tab" and set the "bookmark_open_action" to open in new window,then it opens in a new tab(if I set it to open in new tab,it still opens a new window)

3.Nice,I guess my version was not the latest

4.Nice again,I learned something new :D

Something else would be nice too
An option to remember the last window tabs when you have to restart Everything

Sessions are also on the to-do list. I'm assuming your suggestion will be part of that.

So, more "nice" to come :D

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
The label is wrong under the Advanced Search.
This will be fixed in the next alpha update.
For now, please set this to New Window (which is really new tab)

Sessions will remember the last windows/tabs.
You'll be able to restore windows/tabs after they are closed or if you exit Everything.

Thank you for the suggestions.

Everything 1.5.0.1360a fixes the advanced settings labels for bookmark_open_action.

Thanks
Just to mention something,when it is set to open a new tab(happens on 1359a too),if you try to run the bookmark that is executing "about:exe",this opens the folder as expected but it also creates a new tab

And btw is it currently possible to open multiple tabs with a single bookmark

but it also creates a new tab
I'll look into options here.

Currently, Everything adds the new tab then sets the bookmark search.

One idea is after setting the bookmark search and the search was only search commands, close the tab.


And btw is it currently possible to open multiple tabs with a single bookmark
No official way yet.
One way to do this now is with /command 40017
This will open a new tab.

Consider the following bookmark search to open 3 tabs:
/command 40017
A
/command 40017
B
/command 40017
C

/command
Use Alt + Enter to add a new line.

Is that normal or I can do it outside Everything
When I make my bookmark and paste into the bookmark search criteria,it is automatically converted into a single line
Even if I make it multi line in everything,then copy and paste it,it becomes a single line again

And about the "about" options,maybe check if the search criteria contains one of those("about:") before executing the code that opens a new tab

Please try calling the following:

Code: Select all

Everything64.exe -newtab -s "My Search A"
Everything64.exe -newtab -s "My Search B"
Everything64.exe -newtab -s "My Search C"
-new-tab
-s


When I make my bookmark and paste into the bookmark search criteria,it is automatically converted into a single line
I'll look into support for pasting multiple lines.


And about the "about" options,maybe check if the search criteria contains one of those("about:") before executing the code that opens a new tab
It's complicated, as about: and about:"not an about: command" is a valid search.

However, I will look into doing this.

Thank you for the suggestions.

Everything 1.5.0.1361a now supports pasting multiple lines into the bookmark search.

I am still working on preventing a new tab/window when no search is performed.
