Remind me, When Does Everything Enumerate the various Fields.
Which are known immediately, & which are gathered after the fact.
And then at what point is that data obtained?
All at once?
Only when brought into view (the "viewport" of the window)?
Where I am really going is, are there efficiencies that can be made in the display of & any subsequent sorting of the data displayed?

Re: When Does Everything Enumerate Fields
As I'm on a slower computer, it seems more apparent that size/date are obtained after the fact, & when brought into view, is that right?
Because... Everything has to "draw" (& populate) the screen rather then it just "being there" - like happens with hddb - which uses a database, only, no real-time updating. Nonetheless, being able to sort 1 M items in a matter of a second or so does have its benefits.

Re: When Does Everything Enumerate Fields
Everything indexes file and folder names only.
File sizes, dates and attributes are gathered when displayed or when you perform a sort that requires this information.
Read Extended File Information from the file menu will also read this information for the current selection.
I will look at indexing file sizes, dates and attributes in a future release of Everything.
