Can the visible path in the results be toggled?

Post by burgundy »

Can a hotkey be set to toggle between showing (1) the full path and (2) shortened ellipsis path?

The path can be so long that I can't see the folder name that contains the file -- but I also want to know the "start" (or main folders) of its path.

To create a keyboard shortcut to toggle path ellipsis:
  • In Everything, from the Bookmark menu, click Add to bookmarks....
  • Change the Name to:
    Toggle Path Ellipsis
  • Change the Search to:
    /path_ellipsis=!path_ellipsis
  • Set a keyboard shortcut.
  • Click OK.

Tricky, very tricky, I like it :-).

Can the same be assigned to a hotkey?
Ah, yes. The bookmark itself can be assigned a hotkey.
(So you don't have to deal with any custom_*=-like .ini settings.
And you even said that - but I didn't read that far... yet.)
