filters: exclude a column from result display

Post by rgbigel »

I defined a filter which shows only files which have blank shortcut targets (!ShortcutTarget:), works fine

But my results (using another Filter/Macro e.g. "Indirections") contain the added column ShortcutTarget.

Now when using "indirections: !ShortcutTarget:" I see that column, which obviously always is empty... just taking up space and I don't wan that.

Unfortunately, there is no way to get rid of that column using filters, and if I simply remove the column, it comes back every time I run the search again.

I looked for something like "HideColum:ShortcutTarget", but I could not find that.
Same goes for any column names defaulting from the Everything filter, like Path, too.

Any ideas?

Please try the following search:

indirections: !ShortcutTarget: remove-column:ShortcutTarget


remove-column:

Also: check your default columns (mine changed a couple of times for unknown reasons) :

- Go to Menu => Tools => Options +> General => Home
- Check the Columns field. Default = Name, Path, Date Modified, Size.
- Use the Select button to change which columns are shown.

These are the columns that will be shown when you open a new window or tab.
