What is a "waveform column"?

[xjgby]

yes,In this form, there are waveform columns

What is a "waveform column"?

[therube]

Off the bat, I'd suspect Windows does not display waveforms?
Given that, then there would be no Property for Everything to hook into to be able to display them.

(And given that, the only way it could, would be if void added that functionality to Everything.
But given that a wavform is "dynamic"... but then like a "thumbnail", I suppose you could set a start point & length to determine what to display.

Can Windows Media Player display wavforms?

Now, if ffmpeg were used, seems something along the lines of
ffmpeg -i input.wav -filter_complex showwavespic -frames:v 1 output.png
might work.)

Thank you for your reply
As I expected, png is generated for the corresponding file, but how to customize the column to display png for the corresponding file
Is there any reference description.

Maybe ? (& it's beyond me), you could set up an association... that wouldn't work, would it... ?

Anyhow, if you set of associated files.

file1.wav -> file1.png
file2.wav -> file2.png
file3.wav -> file3.png

Everything can certainly find & associate one with the other.
But then, how do you pull the physical picture (.png), & cause that to display within Everything?

Can something like that be done?

[void]

Everything doesn't have an option to show a custom PNG image in a column for each file.

Can make the file name correspond
file1.wav -> file1.png
I try to use the extension ffmpeg to generate
How can the file1.wav file column display the PNG column under the current file directory, showing file1.png

[void]

I will consider such an option.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Can you give a real use case scenario for this?

What good can it bring to see waveforms of different audio files in Everything, if you cannot also play them from a precise point a see progress indicator? And how much would anyone be able to insert to the main window of Everything?

I personally do rarely perform comparisons of waveforms - in an audio editor, by switching back and forth between stereo files; on a widescreen monitor. Because seeing 2 channels maximized as much as possible is the only method that makes sense to me. And when I have to display on one screen 6 tracks of a movie file hen I see so little, that comparing the channels is too poor and thus is serves only as manual identification of which channel is which
