Properties, & their associated "verbs"?

So from the GUI, you can select a (lets say, a few) Properties.
That is helpful.

But,

how do you know the /name/ ("verb") of the Property?
i can add a /column/ (Property), Path Length, which displays the length of the path-part

now what /name/ does one use to do the same, directly
from the Searchbar or from ES command-line ?
how is one to know the "colon:" ("verb") name?

could mouseover on Property dialog name display it?
or a cheat sheet?

some you might know; ext: path: sort: prefix:
others, not so much; len: or length:, ext: or extension: ?
is one valid, the other not, is one a synonym for the other...

are "invalid" Property names simply ignored, abc123:, ES.exe pic: red abc123: ?
(seems so)

[void]

how do you know the /name/ ("verb") of the Property?

The same property name.
Change any spaces in the name to

-

or remove them.

Path Length Property name => path-length: or pathlength: search function.

There's one exception and that is the Path property name => path-part:



A quick way to find the search function is to right click the column header and click Search for <property>...
-or-
Right click the search box and under Search Function, click Property Search..., Select your property and click OK.
-or-
Assign Ctrl+Space to Search Edit | Complete Word (or other keyboard shortcut -Ctrl+Space is the default) and use Complete Word to suggest and complete search functions.

some you might know; ext: path: sort: prefix:
others, not so much; len: or length:, ext: or extension: ?

A short list of functions and what they do can be found under Help -> Search Syntax -> Functions.
short function names exist for special modifiers and functions. (len: and ext:)
Property functions always use the same property name. (length: and extension:)

are "invalid" Property names simply ignored, abc123:, ES.exe pic: red abc123: ?
(seems so)

abc123: is not a valid function.
No results will be returned.
