Request: Details pane

[data-enthusiast]

Hi, I downloaded Everything today and am blown away by how amazing it is! (I get results in 0.5 seconds that would take Windows over about 1 minute!?) but the one thing I miss from Windows Explorer (and use every day) is the 'details' pane.

Would it be possible to add a 'details' pane, as like in Windows Explorer please?

• i.e. Similar to the current 'preview' pane, it is a separate area to the side of the main results are
• but it instead shows details about the file's properties (incl. thumbnail)

A details pane is on my TODO list.

Thank you for the suggestion.



For now, Everything 1.5 has the option to show detailed tooltips when hovering over the thumbnail.

To show all these detailed properties when hovering over the icon or thumbnail:

• 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:
  tooltip
• Select: listview_detailed_tooltip_add_properties
• Set the value to: Type;Title;Genre;Tags;Comments;System.Media.EpisodeNumber;length;total-bitrate
• Click OK.

Thanks @void,

Will update the tooltip for now, and look forward to full / dedicated Details pane, if you're able to include this in the next release.

One follow-up point around different filetypes:

Windows has the ability to specify different properties to show, for different filetypes (so .jpg might show Height, Width while .MP4 shows TotalBitrate, Framerate, etc)...

• I assume filetype based properties aren't possible currently (in tooltips). Would you recommend I just add ALL the potential properties I might want, or is there a better / other way to handle this?
• If you could factor filetype-based properties into the Details pane, when you get round to this, that would be great!
