Is it possible to index and show audio lengths in milliseconds?

Post by PeterS »

Hello, just wondering if it's possible to index and show audio lengths in milliseconds?

Sometimes I like to see and sort audio files by length down to milliseconds.

Maybe even just to hundreths, of tenths of seconds?

But milliseconds would be preferred for me.

To index these ahead of time would be great for fast search results and fast sorting.

Thanks for any ideas.

You'll need Everything 1.5.

Add length to your index under Tools -> Options -> Properties.

Indexing the Length property



To customize the duration format to include milliseconds:
  • 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:
    duration
  • Select: duration_auto_format
  • Make sure the value is empty for auto format.
  • Select: duration_auto_format_days
  • Set the value to:
    [d]:hh:mm:ss.SSS

  • Select: duration_auto_format_hours
  • Set the value to:
    [hh]:mm:ss.SSS

  • Select: duration_auto_format_minutes
  • Set the value to:
    [mm]:ss.SSS

  • Click OK.
