If there are 0 objects displayed in the search results list, pushing the "up"/"down" keys in the query field should NOT move keyboard focus to the search results list in my opinion, it SHOULD move keyboard focus to search results list show a focus rectangle around the entire result list not this ug...

in my options: fonts and colors -> font -> default fonts and colors -> size -> default i never change these 2 settings manually, i only use: ctrl+wheel up (to zoom in), ctrl+wheel down (to zoom out) (the same issue occurs if i choose zoom reset) the bug is indeed strange. i don't use 1.3.3.656 anymo...

horst.epp, your response is not polite and adequate as it could have been. by the way, nobody except you speaks about toolbar in this topic i also wasn't speaking about any kind of "forcing somebody to do something" my only intention was to show that the idea of manipulating the main menu is more or...

i would also like to know if such an option could be implemented an option to completely modify the menu buttons and menu items (including removing, renaming, adding, moving) there are lots of menu items that i never use: 1) new search window 2) open file list 3) close file list 4) close (i use num5...

unlike many other substantial suggestions/problems ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 / 7 , 8 ), this diacritical issue is not a big deal to me. but anyway: select 1 file (there are diacritical symbols in the title): http://www.imagebam.com/image/5d1e7e446199582 press F2 (those symbols become not visible but t...

standard zoom (ctrl+wheel) is again available in ET since 1.4.0.709 this is probably the least important aspect among many other my suggestions/questions but anyway thanks for that I will have to add a Hot selected inactive color option for full control restoring an old convenient behaviour of ET is...

adamantine

your suggestion is very similar to my 'comprehensive view' idea (which unfortunately was left without support by other users and also without relpy by ET creator) the difference between our topics is that implementation of my suggestion will fulfill your wish and as well will make the process of ren...

3) Check the "Hot" and "Hot Selected" colors in Tools -> Options -> Fonts and Colors this is the exact place where i had been trying for hour to restore colouring as in ET (1.3). i will try to describe the only remained problem related to colours: for example, there is 1 selected file: - when 'resul...

many aspects were aggravated (or were not improved) in this so very long awaited new version. here are only some thoughts/questions: 1) useful zoom-feature is no longer available (hold ctrl and scroll up/down to immediately zoom in/out all text in 'search results' field) 'main menu -> view -> zoom -...

i suggest to implement new (optional) view (like branch view in 'xyplorer' program) this screen-shot is the best explanation the idea is to display (in result list) folders/files alternately (while now all folders are displayed on top, and all files - at the bottom) here are some explaining quotatio...

therube that topic is about other way to rename. i do not have that need (at least because i use the 'better file rename' program, and it has its context menu item inside ET) while i suggested the substantially different and unique option concerning renaming there is even 1 more option that i am su...

search for text inside files is certainly the option that i wait for eagerly and for a long time i often have to search for text inside my 26000 cue-files and 500 txt-files and i noticed that the standard xp search is terribly slow (~20-25 minutes) but only for the 1st time. then it is noticeably fa...

adamantine

(1.3.3.656) (sort by path is enabled) (xp sp2)

how to disable immediate refresh in the 'name' column (for example, after renaming a folder)?
this refresh causes very inconvenient moving of a folder in 'result list'. while i just want a folder to stay exactly where it was before any rename

adamantine

the idea is to copy to clipboard just some part of what we see in the 'path' column there is considerable convenience in this approach because it is possible to get (quickly) necessary part of a path via mouse clicks (almost without using the keyboard) for instance, after getting necessary part of a...

'name' column: it is possible to select a folder/file, press f2, and select some symbols in a title (to copy them to the clipboard) it would be convenient to have such a possibility within 'path' column as well of course there will be some difference: instead of pressing f2, we will have to click on...

it is necessary to find folders/files that have 2 (or more) equal fragments in their titles for example, the 6-symbol fragment "(With " is present twice in title of this folder: "1987 - Album (With Artist1) (With Artist2)" we know that "a{2,}" represents the letter "a" repeated at least twice. i tri...

it is possible to customize 'window title format' a little. but is there a way to do the following?: 1) (by default or when several objects are selected) window caption only shows quantity of objects example 1 (592 objects): 592 example 2 (16 of 592 objects selected): 16 / 592 2) (when 1 object is s...

void if you decide to implement tabs, please do not enable this feature by default in my opinion, it is only good for a browser but in all other applications tabs are not usable by the way, i never use "new search window" menu item because there is a special hot-key for 'every-thing' in my system (...

(i understand that this idea may seem quite unusual and disputable but anyway i decided to let you know about it) quite rarely i place my whole 'every-thing' window within a screen. mostly only its upper left part is visible so it would be nice if status bar could be moved to the right of the 'menu'...

in my settings the option 'show row mouse-over' is disabled because it is slightly annoying but sometimes it is good to have it for a few seconds so i propose to implement a possibility to assign a hot-key (for example, ctrl+shift may be a nice choice) for temporary 'show row mouse-over' the idea is...

adamantine

seemingly it is not a very required possibility but it may be useful from time to time i suggest to implement an option to hide/show all the unselected folders/files in the result list for instance, this new 'selected objects only' option may be placed in 'view' menu (by default - without the tick)

adamantine

there is 1 little request concerning the option 'do not select extension when renaming' i discovered that in 'every-thing' this feature works less conveniently comparing to its analogue in 'windows explorer + pitaschio' the thing is that if you press 'F2' and afterwards - 'right', you receive incorr...

if i understand correctly, the recent 2 beta-versions (1.3.2.644 and 1.3.2.645) only contain fixes

therube yeah, i definitely should have posted in that topic. but i have not seen it until your message (and yes, i always have 'match path' selected) so as i understand, we have to wait until this option is implemented: The option to keep new results or changed results sorted by name or path to my ...
