sort inactivates mix files and folders

[anmac1789]

Why does using sort: inactivate the mix files and folders search ? even using custom columns inactivates mix files and folders (grayed out option)

[void]

In Everything 1.5, mixing files and folders only works for basic 'fast' sorts. (for example: Tools -> Options -> Indexes -> Fast Date Modified Sort)

Everything 1.5 cannot efficiently mix files and folders for other sorts, so it is disabled.

I have on my TODO list, for a future version of Everything, to add support for mixing files and folders with all sorts.

[anmac1789]

Oh okay, and what about custom columns ?

[void]

Custom columns cannot be fast sorted.
You cannot mix files and folders for custom columns in Everything 1.5.

ahh shoot, I really needed that @_@

By efficiently, you mean it was still possible? You couldn't have a temporary setting to enable it if you want to take the hit?

[anmac1789]

Yes that's exactly what I mean It was possible in 1.5a

[Herkules97]

Oh it was so soon? That's very strange to have disabled that ability.
It does seem like an easy enough fix though, to use a 1.5a version.

But if something else nice is added in a 1.5b version, it would also be nice to have this ability still so you're not stuck on an older version.
Especially if a new feature works together with sorting.
Maybe just dump them all in some "experimental" section of the settings page.

I'm not sure I guess it's upto the developers

Support for mixing files/folders with other properties will need to wait for a future version of Everything.
Too much of a rewrite is required to add support to Everything 1.5.

For now, export to CSV and sort in Excel.

Do you mean when it's out of beta ?

[void]

No, Everything 1.5 will only be getting bug fixes from now.

It will have to wait until Everything 1.6.
