Please allow for the Header and search edit's visibility to be per window

[Ralf_Reddings]

Currently its possible to hide the following panels per window

• The bookmarks side bar

• The filters side bar

• The viewer side bar

• The status bar

• The menu bar

Buts its not possible to hide the search edit and the list views header per window. This makes it hard to create unique Everything windows fit for specific purposes.

For example I want to create a small, minimal Everything window, that will only show recent photos of a folder. Make it impossible to change the search or resorting the items. Rather than searching for files, I just want to use this Everything window as a "small panel" to drag and drop photos into another programme:



I hide the search edit with

/toolbar_visible=!toolbar_visible

but it applies to every Everything window. So when bring up my main "search" window, it too will have its Search and header hidden.

I often need to create bookmarks and later open those bookmarks in Everything windows, that are configured to be in a variety of states, purely for use with other programme, not for searching. Its difficult to do this with some Everything UIs not being window specific.

I know that per window INI settings is something void has stated that he is considering, and I hope that he does decide on implanting it, it would solve a lot of things.

However, I am specifically asking to make the UI elements for the main Everything window 100% window specific, currently there is a 80/20% disparity, and this just confuses things. The UI elements that are not window specific are:

• The search Edit

• The list view header

• The tab bar

• The list view icons

Please consider eliminating this disparity of; some UI elements can be hidden per window and some cannot be hidden per window.

I considered using the "instances" feature to solve this issues but that just ended up opening a whole different can of worms and its not optimal at all.

layout: will give you more control.

All that is missing now is a search function to hide the toolbar and window frame.
I will consider adding search functions to do this.
Thank you for the suggestion.

For now, you could use a third party script to remove the window frame.
Hiding the toolbar will be difficult.
You could make it disabled so the user cannot change the search and leave it shown.



The Everything SDK is another option to create your own listview.

[Ralf_Reddings]

As much as I am eager to get into the SDK, my skill sets are just not there yet unfortunately. But I intend to get to it eventually.

I was not aware of

layout:

, I tested it out. Unfortunately it is a search function and not a search command, it requires to be part of the search for it to work. This would not be ideal.

I was more asking for a "hide toolbar" or "toggle toolbar" search command similar to

• /toggle-status-bar

• /show-status-bar

• /hide-status-bar

Or a menu bar command like the ones found in View > Status Bar

Taking a second look at Search Commands thread, There is "hide header"/ "toggle header":

• /toggle-header

• /show-header

• /hide-header

I just did not take a close look, apparently! Now I just need a way to hide the toolbar. Could you please add search commands to hide the toolbar? Something along the lines of:

• /toggle-toolbar

• /show-toolbar

• /hide-toolbar

[void]

I will consider a per-window option to hide the toolbar.

Thank you for the suggestion.
