is it currently possible to use tabs_title_format to display the current folder's name only?

[santilli]

I use tabs regularly, and by default tabs are named after the performed search, so all tabs look like this:
"parent:C:\Users\User\Desktop\Folder\Another..."

That is to say that, browsing becomes a guessing game because tabs often have the exact same name. Trying to find a solution, I spotted "tabs_title_format" in the settings, but failed to get anything out of it.

So, in short, I would like that when my current search points to a directory, the tab will be named after the current folder instead of the whole path.

Thanks

I will consider making the default title formatting a little smarter..

You can hover over the tab to see the full tab title. (not ideal)


Please consider always showing the tabs overlay:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  tabs
• Select: tabs_overflow_wide
• Set the value to: 9999
• Click OK.

This will always show the tab overlay buttons.
Click the v button on the right to view all tabs with their full titles.



Please consider changing your tab title format: (advanced)

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  tabs
• Select: tabs_title_format
• Set the value to:
  <REGEXREPLACE:<REGEXREPLACE:$s,"parent:\"&quot:"([^\\]*\\)(.*)\\([^\\]*)\"&quot:,"$3">,"parent:([^\s]*\\)([^\s\\]*)","$2">
• Click OK.

This will replace:

parent:C:\Users\User\Desktop\Folder\Another\subfolder

with:

subfolder

It's not perfect, but might help..

Format to completely remove the parent: part:

<REGEXREPLACE:$s,"parent:(\"&quot:".*\"&quot:"|\S+)","">
