I had a selection sorted by image dimensions
When I did Ctrl-T to make a new tab it basically froze up for a while because it had copied the sort and tried to apply it to all files.
Can I suggest that only fast sorts be copied through onto a new tab.

Re: New tab coming from an intensive sort
This issue should be fixed in Everything 1.5.0.1397a.
What version of Everything are you using? (Help -> About Everything)

Re: New tab coming from an intensive sort
I think 1399 is an improvement, you can break out of it after about 1.5 secs, but the new tab opens blank - even the folder tree is not populated - because of the sort that will take forever, so it gives a very stuck feel.
It's certainly a conundrum that opening a new tab with a million files on you are probably not wanting an intensive sort to be copied, but equally maybe you are going to go on to type something that reduces it to a few.
The problem seems to remain therefore that anyone who doesn't know what's happening will just see it open blank, and even for someone that does, there's a psychological "feel" that the program is doing an enormous amount of unwanted work, which takes a little bit to break out of...
My own resolution would be to never copy non-basic sorts to a new tab, as this will save confusion for those who don't understand what's happening; so that if people want a new tab with the same sort they could just duplicate the tab and adjust from there, or otherwise home in from the new tab and re add the sort.

Re: New tab coming from an intensive sort
Thanks for checking 1399a meteorquake,
The sort should revert to a fast sort.
I haven't been able to reproduce the issue my end..
Maybe there's another setting coming into play..
Could you please send a debug log:

Could you please send a debug log:
- In Everything, search for some images and sort by dimensions.
- From the Tools menu, under the Debug Submenu, click Start Debug Logging...
- Create a new tab (Ctrl + T)
- Cancel the sort.
- From the Tools menu, under the Debug Submenu, click Stop Debug Logging...
--this will open your %TEMP%\Everything Debug Log.txt in Notepad. - Please upload this file in a bug report.
