Run Count - ignore path?

Post by Jolly »

I've really been appreciating Run Count, but the big downside is it is path specific.
This is especially true for documents, which I'm more likely to move around on my file systems.

I'd love if there was a way to get it to only consider the filename, not the path. (or have a combined score).


Run Count
path1\a.exe 1
path2\a.exe 2
path3\a.exe 3

vs a combined option, which could be the sum of every run count for that filename, plus the filecount for that specific path\filename combo. That way theres still relative sorting.
Run Count
path1\a.exe 7 sum(a.exe)+path1\a.exe
path2\a.exe 8 sum(a.exe)+path2\a.exe
path3\a.exe 9 sum(a.exe)+path3\a.exe


ps. Run count is especially useful if you are using Everything as a launcher or the index behind a launcher!

There's no ignore path option.
I will consider such an option.
Thank you for the suggestion.

I have on my TODO list to add support for tracking the run count of renamed/moved files from within Everything.

Thanks! I was just going to suggest tracking run count for renamed files, at least within everything.

When exactly do entries get removed from Run History, and is there a way to stop the pruning?

When exactly do entries get removed from Run History
When run history is loaded.
(when you start Everything)

Run history is committed to disk when you:
  • Exit Everything
  • Close an Everything Search window.
  • Make a change under Tools -> Run History and click OK.

is there a way to stop the pruning?
Uncheck Tools -> Options -> History -> Run History -> Keep run history for x days...
When unchecked, run history is kept forever.
