1.5 Rating (stars) not showing

[andrewgr]

Version 1.5.0.1396a (x64)

I have the following properties included in my index: Dimensions, Length, Rating, Tags

Dimensions, Length, and Tags all work as expected.

Rating isn't working. It's empty for every file, even though many of the files have ratings. If I right-click on a file from within Everything and select Properties, I can see the rating (expressed as 1-5 stars).

I have also tried System.Rating and System.SimpleRating, neither of those work either.

I have rebuilt the index from scratch twice, it has no effect.

I rely heavily on being able to sort by Rating, so I'm hoping there is another way to do this, but I am putting this in "bugs" rather than "support" because I found a couple of responses from Void in which they say that selecting 'Rating' is supposed to work.

What's shown for your indexed Rating property under Tools -> Options -> Properties -> Rating?

Please make sure Include files is checked.
Please double check the included folders and exclude filters.

"Rating" is working here:
Select Property -> Everything Properties

Since I only use “Rating” for testing purposes, I have NOT created an entry in Everything Options - 1.5.0.1396a (x64) > Properties.

That's strange. For some reason, it had only .jpg and .mp3 file extensions listed for file types, even though I never changed that setting. If that's a default, I assume it should at the very least include .mp4.

In any event, leaving that field blank, so it works on all files, fixed the problem.

Thank you!

Everything will use known extensions that support the specified property by default.

This is done for efficiency reasons.
Only .mp3 and .jpg files will store the property value.
If you clear the include only field, all files will store the property value, even if the property value is empty.
(It's not really that big of a deal for rating as it's only 1 byte per file)

If that's a default, I assume it should at the very least include .mp4.

*.mp4 is a known property to Everything that supports the rating property.
This is a bug and the next alpha update will include *.mp4 in the default extension list for the rating property.
Thank you for bringing the issue to my attention.
