Select files option?

[Shooter3k]

Is there any way to select files within the Everything window without clicking on the files?

So, for example, if I wanted to search for: dupe:size;sha256

and then I wanted to select 1 file from each group but select the file with the longest name, visually. Could I do that?

Not in a single pass.
It can be done with two searches and disabling "Clear selection on search":

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Results tab.
• Uncheck clear selection on search. (I need to add a no-clear-selection: search function...)
• Click OK.

Search for:

Code: Select all

distinctsort:size;sha256;name-length distinct:size;sha256

This will show the item with the longest name from each size/sha256 group.

Select all results (Ctrl + A)

Search for:

Code: Select all

dupesort:size;sha256;name-length dupe:size;sha256

dupesort:size;sha256;name-length can be omitted, but it's nice to have the longest name-length at the top of each group.

Everything 1.5.0.1405a improves bookmarks.

If you use the search frequently, you can move it to a bookmark with the following bookmark search:

Code: Select all

distinctsort:size;sha256;name-length distinct:size;sha256
/select-all
no-clear-selection: dupesort:size;sha256;name-length dupe:size;sha256
