In-place renaming bug in 1.5.0.1403a.x64

Post by johnlee »

  1. Press F2 in a search results list and you get to rename a file in place. You type in or paste a file name starting with some spaces, and 1.5a ignores any leading spaces, which versions 1.4 and earlier have had no problem handling properly.
  2. I don't know about previous versions of 1.5a, but this has persisted since 1.5.0.1402a, the first 1.5a version I tried.
I just want to add that v1.5a is AWESOME!

Thank you for your feedback johnlee,

Everything 1.5 will strip the leading and trailing white spaces like Windows Explorer.

To allow leading and trailing white spaces:
  • 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:
    rename
  • Select: rename_trim
  • Set the value to: false
  • Click OK.
-or-

Press Shift + F2 to use the advance rename which will allow any filename.

Regards,
David

Wow, I was just editing the title a bit when you got back to me so fast that I got a bit startled :D :D

Stupid of me not to even think about looking into the Advanced Options.

It worked like a charm. THANKS! 👍👍
