Wiztree style view?

Post by Shooter3k »

Is there any way Everything can show a 'Wiztree style' navigable report with the headers being something along the lines of:

folder path|Size|Item Count

Everything doesn't have any "reports".



Everything 1.4:

Enable folder size indexing under Tools -> Options -> Indexes -> Index folder size.

To show the folder name, path and size, search for:

Code: Select all

folder:
Add the path and size column, remove any other columns.

Browse the results in Everything or export them under File -> Export.



Everything 1.5:

To show the folder path, size and item count:

Code: Select all

folder: columns:name;path;size;descendant-count

How?
  • Import the attached WizTree.csv filter in Everything
    (go to Menu => Search => Organize Filters and press the Import button)
  • Activate the WizTree filter
  • Browse through folders using the Folder Sidebar

Note:
- the screenshot shows Subfolders enabled (Folders Sidebar) and OMIT active (status bar). They are not.

Even though I didn't have the idea, I wanted to say that this is a great extension for Everything - thank you very much.

Thanks!  :)

I have added this bookmark for this purpose and access “WizTree” via the bookmark.

Name: WizTree
Search: Custom...

Code: Select all

/show-folders-sidebar
/columns [{"name":"A","width":193},{"name":"Size","width":74},{"name":"Name","width":583},{"name":"Items","width":74},{"name":"Files","width":74},{"name":"Folders","width":74},{"name":"Date Modified","width":119},{"name":"Attributes","width":74}]

Filter: WizTree

Note:
When using the bookmark, sometimes only the “Percent of Parent” column
is not always displayed in the defined column width of 6.00 cm (=178 in EV), but only in a column width of 4.50 cm (=133 in EV).
Double-clicking the column separator fixes the display error, or you can drag the column separator line slightly to the right.

Change:

Code: Select all

/columns [{"name":"Percent of Parent","width":193},{"name":"Size","width":74},{"name":"Name","width":583},{"name":"Items","width":74},{"name":"Files","width":74},{"name":"Folders","width":74},{"name":"Date Modified","width":119},{"name":"Date Modified","width":119},{"name":"Attributes","width":74}]
to:

Code: Select all

/columns [{"name":"A","width":193},{"name":"Size","width":74},{"name":"Name","width":583},{"name":"Items","width":74},{"name":"Files","width":74},{"name":"Folders","width":74},{"name":"Date Modified","width":119},{"name":"Date Modified","width":119},{"name":"Attributes","width":74}]

Thanks!

Now the column width setting works! :)
{"name":"A","width":193}

instead of:
{"name":"Percent of Parent","width":193}

Just a small addition:
If you open Wiztree with the bookmark and then want to restore your default view with this code and,
for example, by pressing the ALT+Y shortcut once, you need to remove the code:
folders-sidebar:
from the filter.

Hi, could you explain why it makes sense to create a bookmark for this filter?
As I understand it, a bookmark defines the “where”, while a filter defines the “what”.
Could you also explain a hobby user the practical benefit ?
Thx in Advance

  1. Column widths cannot be saved in a filter.
     
  2. Columns and column widths can be saved in a bookmark, e.g. "Alle Dateien":
    Search > Custom > /columns [{“name”:‘Name’,“width”:208},...
    Filter  > Alle Dateien
    Keyboard shortcut: your choice, e.g. ALT+Y
For me, a filter serves to narrow down a search [further].

Instead of specifying the width of each column, you can make each column to fit with the following:

Code: Select all

/command "Result List | Size All Columns to Fit"
or by pressing the 'CTRL + Numpad+' keyboard shortcut when the result list is the active pane.

That makes it more universal usable (I have a 34" monitor with different dpi, for example)


BTW: Date Modified width is specified twice

Code: Select all

[...],{"name":"Date Modified","width":119},{"name":"Date Modified","width":119},[...]

Thank you for the information!

/command "Result List | Size All Columns to Fit"
... I include it in my default view as a comment.
I do NOT want this to happen automatically, because then I would have to widen the columns again for the next search query.

I know the shortcut 'CTRL + Numpad+', as well as 'Ctrl + Shift + NumPad+' == fit the columns to the window width.

"Date Modified" (twice) ... I have corrected the bookmark in this regard and also updated the column label!

Thanks again!

Without all your descriptions, I wouldn’t have even half of the skills I have when it comes to Everything. Sometimes a bit tricky, but of invaluable value.

Thank you, but please don't exaggerate. :)

A lot of what I'm writing about can be found in other forum posts.
I also frequently require assistance, which I receive here in the forum.

I also read along a lot. Sometimes I go through phases where I feel like I’m addicted to TC, XY, and Everything content. Studying my favorite programs is one of my favorite hobbies. I try to implement things quietly, but you (Sie) bundle and structure content in a way that everyone can understand, even without an IT background.
Just my two cents!

DAMN, THIS IS IMPRESSIVE!!!!!

Never though that this could be done!!!!

Bravo!
