Bookmark (Columns AND Search: Custom) - GPS Latitude, GPS Longitude

Post by tuska »

Hi,

/columns:[{"name":"Name","width":193.375},{"name":"Breitengrad","width":178},{"name":"Längengrad","width":178},{"name":"Path","width":431.375},{"name":"Extension","width":60},{"name":"Size","width":80},{"name":"Total Size","width":89},{"name":"Date Modified","width":104},{"name":"Date Created","width":104},{"name":"Date Accessed","width":104}]

D:\TMP ext:jpg latitude:48;22;03.3 longitude:16;21;31.3

1. Restart 'Everything'
2. Default view
3. Call up bookmark as shown below
4. The set column widths are NOT taken into account!

If I enter the commands separately, I can achieve the desired view:
1. Set column widths

Code: Select all

/columns:[{"name":"Name","width":193.375},{"name":"Breitengrad","width":178},{"name":"Längengrad","width":178},{"name":"Path","width":431.375},{"name":"Extension","width":60},{"name":"Size","width":80},{"name":"Total Size","width":89},{"name":"Date Modified","width":104},{"name":"Date Created","width":104},{"name":"Date Accessed","width":104}]
2. Enter search term

Code: Select all

D:\TMP ext:jpg latitude:48;22;03.3 longitude:16;21;31.3
In principle, one can enter multiple commands in the bookmark (Search: Custom).
Example query that always works for me (2 lines in the bookmark...):
/columns=[{"name":"Name","width":131},{"name":"Product Version","width":104},{"name":"Target Machine","width":103},{"name":"Path","width":104},{"name":"Extension","width":74},{"name":"Size","width":74},{"name":"Total Size","width":83},{"name":"Digital Signature Timestamp","width":166},{"name":"Date Modified","width":104},{"name":"Date Created","width":104},{"name":"Date Accessed","width":104}]
whole:about:exe|whole:about:ini nop:"Everything Service running"

In this case (latitude:,longitude:), can the column width view be combined with the search term?
Unfortunately, I cannot achieve the desired view with the bookmark.

One more question:
Can all of these variants be used, or should I prefer only a variant?
/columns:
...    ':' Colon
  - OR -
/columns=
...   '=' Equals sign

Please use a space.

Search Commands use spaces.

Code: Select all

/columns [{"name":"Name","width":193.375},{"name":"Breitengrad","width":178},{"name":"Längengrad","width":178},{"name":"Path","width":431.375},{"name":"Extension","width":60},{"name":"Size","width":80},{"name":"Total Size","width":89},{"name":"Date Modified","width":104},{"name":"Date Created","width":104},{"name":"Date Accessed","width":104}]
(changed
/columns:[
to
/columns [
)

The
/columns=
variant should also work (please correct me if it doesn't work)

This variant sets the columns virtual ini setting.
This will update your config and also the active Everything window.

There is no
/columns:
variation.



columns:
in your search can currently be used to show columns, but not set the width yet.

For example:

columns:"Name;Breitengrad;Längengrad;Path;Extension;Size;Total Size;Date Modified;Date Created;Date Accessed"


Support for a JSON array of column objects is [high] on my TODO list.

For example:

Code: Select all

columns:[{"name":"Name","width":193.375},{"name":"Breitengrad","width":178},{"name":"Längengrad","width":178},{"name":"Path","width":431.375},{"name":"Extension","width":60},{"name":"Size","width":80},{"name":"Total Size","width":89},{"name":"Date Modified","width":104},{"name":"Date Created","width":104},{"name":"Date Accessed","width":104}]
(looks like I have implemented this already and haven't crossed it off my TODO list)

Please note: You will need to keep your search on one line in your bookmark.



/columns (Search Command)
/columns= (Virtual INI Setting)
columns: (Search Function)

Yes.

/columns [

Columns: Breitengrad;Längengrad (in the bookmark) -> These were NOT automatically displayed after calling up the bookmark!
These are Windows Property System properties.

Please use the canonical property name with
/columns [
or
/columns=[

Code: Select all

/columns [{"name":"System.GPS.Latitude","width":178},{"name":"System.GPS.Longitude","width":178}]

Sort: Breitengrad (= Latitude) -> "Ascending" currently NOT possible automatically!
The
/columns
search will override your bookmark columns.

The Everything Latitude/Longitude columns are shown.
You are sorting by the Windows Property System Breitengrad, which is a different property.

48,200916 vs 48.200917 is most likely a rounding issue.
I'm guessing EXIF rounds up.
Everything will not round up.

EDITED: 28.9.2025 - Text and point 2. revised.

PS:
During these tests, I accidentally scrolled the mouse wheel twice in a bookmark
when the cursor was over the “Filter” field. This unintentionally removed the “Everything” filter.

On the one hand, I find “scrolling the mouse wheel” in the various fields in a bookmark to be a convenient feature,
but on the other hand, I would appreciate it if there were an option to disable this to prevent unwanted changes.

I will re-add support for
File List Filename
in the next update.
I used the ‘Canonical Name’:
File List Name
and from that point on, everything worked as expected for me!
{"name":"File List Name","width":178} works with
/columns=[
and
/columns [


I have NOT changed the following in point 2 - 'Default view' of the above post, as both will work in future:
FROM: /columns=[{"name":"File List Filename","width":178}
TO:     /columns=[{"name":"File List Name","width":178}

The display in ‘Troubleshooting Information’ is now also correct:
The column widths for the 'Default view' are always displayed here!

Thank you very much!
