[question] how to add rating stars column in everything ??

Post by asamirid »

greetings..

is there a way to add a visual stars rating column to the search like in the image below..

this is mainly to display media files rating like music and photos..

if not i hope this thread to be considered as [feature request]..

Fractions is not important "in my case", only none,1,2,3,4,5 is more than enough.

thank you.

right click on column, click "add columns", then select "Rating". The stars are well shown, but sadly can't be edited directly in Everything by so far.

Information on these values can be found here:
- About rating values
- rating:
- System.Rating

However, the stars are also displayed for me (and I can't remember ever having changed a setting)...

@asamirid:
In an out of the box Everything (1374a x64 on Win11 22H2), rating is shown here using 0-5 stars.
You might have defined "independant" properties (like rating) in tags.csv, which will overrule the properties saved in the file itself when shown in Everything.
Check property_user_values under Advanced options to see if you defined a tag.csv file.
This file is likely saved in Everythings' %APPDATA% folder.

Other than that:
What version of Everything are you running? 32-bit or 64-bit? OS? Running as administrator or currentr user?

Tagging without modifying files

Right-click your selected file(s) => Properties => Details tab => Change your rating.

An interface to change these properties directly is on the to-do list of Everything.

my bad, i fixed the problem, but i wish the file property box also had rating stars instead of numerical value like in the screenshot.

also if there is a way to display rating stars under filename in the large thumb view it will be very helpful..
