Highlighting words within filenames/foldernames

[Kyote]

Howdy

Not sure something like this is possible, but being able to set specific words to be highlighted in different colors would be a nice addition. For instance, when searching for movie files, being able to highlight the resolution in a filename (1080p in blue and 2160p in green, or whatever).

I got the idea from the Firefox extension, "Auto Highlight": https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... _highlight

With how the files are displayed in Everything as well as having access to the normal context menu for files, it makes me think you might be using an embedded explorer.exe in some fashion, so highlighting might not be possible. But I wanted to suggest it just in case.

Thanks!

Conditional colors / color filters are on my TODO list.

Thank you for the suggestion.



It can kind-of be done now with basic color filters, except the whole filename is highlighted.

To set items containing 1080p to Blue and items containing 2160p to Green:

• 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:
  color filter
• Select: color_filters
• Set the value to:

  Code: Select all

  [{"filter":"regex:(\\b|_)1080p(\\b|_)","include_folders":true,"include_files":true,"foreground_color":"#004080","foreground_dark_color":"#80ffff"},{"filter":"regex:(\\b|_)2160p(\\b|_)","include_folders":true,"include_files":true,"foreground_color":"#408000","foreground_dark_color":"#80ff80"}]
  

• Click OK.
