EFU list custom columns help

Post by petar5 »

Hello, I need help creating columns for an .efu file

The plan consists to replicate the efu headers and their contents into Everthing

This is an example of the list

Code: Select all

"Filename","Size","HASH"
"file1","18465631","7C2BD319D07A41963D17744E60379A84"
"file2","23313955","9E3BF64B6F34E997F0DA46D5C70C0C34"
"file3","27718835","014BD5B427B89A5E32A4F2A33764DB93"
"file4","883045","E4BFD9845EDDB07560F137AB0AAB60D8
"

Filename and Size columns already appear, but i need the HASH column aswell, to be able to sort or copy, would that be possible?

I've searched the forum for "custom column" but i'm not that advanced to understand most of it.

How are you creating the .efu?
From within the GUI, File | Export, or from command-line, or from ES.exe... ?

the source is an external xml file ( its content is not in my hard drive) that contains filepath, timestamp, size and the hash of the file.

Thanks therube.

EDIT
i changed the efu as i saw it in your image and it worked when the MD5 matched the MD5 hash format, but when the hash was another one it didn't appear.
The idea is to add custom columns, even if not a hash column but whatver we may capture, like a column "Comments", etc..
This is to be able to use Everything power with external files that may include custom columns. An also being able to copy the contents of the custom column from the selected rows.

In this example using MD5 it cuts the hash to MD5 format (the real hash is Blake3)

Everything doesn't have Blake3 support yet.

Please consider custom properties:

Code: Select all

"Filename","Size","Custom Property 1"
"file1","18465631","7C2BD319D07A41963D17744E60379A84"
"file2","23313955","9E3BF64B6F34E997F0DA46D5C70C0C34"
"file3","27718835","014BD5B427B89A5E32A4F2A33764DB93"
"file4","883045","E4BFD9845EDDB07560F137AB0AAB60D8
-Use "Custom Property 1" instead of "HASH".



To set the custom property 1 name to HASH:
  • 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:
    custom
  • Select: custom_property_1
  • Set the value to:
    HASH
  • Click OK.
  • Restart Everything (File -> Exit)
