Search bar in file manager dialog windows

Post by thedarkmist »

Everything is great. So great that I could not think about working without it.
But there is a feature that I really miss, that forces me to keep another similar application installed: Listary.
It is possible to implement a search box in the dialog window of the file manager? See image. Is it possible to think of introducing this functionality in Everything? It would really make it complete. Thank you.

Thanks for your feedback.

Searching Everything from open/save as dialogs is on my TODO list.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hello Void. After some time, I was wondering if there are any progresses on this feature. I'm still stuck having both Everything and Listary installed only for this feature :/
Thank you!

Take a look at this.

(But I like the Listary way better (use it myself too))

I have Listary but prefer the solution which uses Total Commander and Everything together with QuickAccessPopUp.
This allows me to use the WIN+C key to switch in Open/Save dialogs to the current Total Commander path.
As Everything is integrated in Total Commander I can easy and fast search the right place to go
and also the favorites configured into QuickAccessPopUp.

Thank you mates... but you are users way more advanced than me. Your solutions are a bit complicated :?
I hoped there were some news about a built in feature.
Best,

Hello. More than 5 years after my initial request when was stated that the feature was in the todo list.
Maybe we can now say it will never land on the actual software?

No, we can not.

In the past 5 years, hundreds of items on the to-do list got implemented. Including a new major version (1.5).

It just means that this suggestion is lower on the (still very long) to-do list.
... which I can imagine as it not core-functionality for Everything. But that is just my opinion.
