Only once, can I ask why you would want two size columns?

I'm also curious about that! :-)

There is a possibility to change the size format in the statusbar and tooltips, independent of the format that is used in the result list.
See viewtopic.php?t=6370

Maybe that is enough for what you want to do ..

Sorry, no notification e-mail here.

To identify duplicates with the bytes column and to have a better overview with the auomatical display.

In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  • /statusbar_size_format=1
Now when you select a single file, the size of the file will be shown in the statusbar in bytes.

Please make sure show selected item in the status bar is enabled:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the View tab.
  • Check Show selected item in status bar.
  • Click OK.
If the size is not shown when you select an item, please try resetting your status bar format
  • In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /statusbar_selected_item_format=

Many thanks!

Sorry, obviously I am missing anything:

No item is shown.

But it seems as if the size in bytes is shown in the status bar anyway (without /statusbar_size_format=1):

Or, may be that is meant:

Searching for /statusbar_selected_item_format= will not return any results, it is a search command.

You must press ENTER after typing in the search command to activate it.
Once activated you should see a message in the Everything status bar for a few seconds.

Sounds like you have already entered the searched command, as the size is shown in bytes in the statusbar.

Now I see, so it is not a search but a way to activate that option / function to show the size in bytes. So it already works.

Many thanks
