Wiztree style view?

[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

[void]

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

[Shooter3k]

That's perfect. Thanks for the tips

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}

[tuska]

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

[tuska]

From one hobby user to another hobby user:

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].

/columns [{"name" ....

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.

[Native2904]

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!

Thanks!

Bravo!

Thank you very much! Made my day week ..

[Phlashman]

Great filter... But if i want to then get Wiztree view for ONLY say .jpg files is this possible?

[NotNull]

That is possible with some extra steps:

For this to work, filelist_hide_reconstructed_folders needs to be set to value: false
( under Menu => Tools => Options => Advanced )

• In the Everything searchbar, type
  ext:jpg
• Export the results as jpg.efu (Menu => File =>Export)
• Open this jpg.efu filelist (Menu => File => Open Filelist )
• Activate the WizTree filter
• Browse using the Folders sidebar
• When done, close the filelist (Menu => File => Close File List )

Example with my test-query

M: ext:flac:

:

TreeMap.jpg

Thye numbers shown in the Size column are the total size taken up by flac files in that folder and below.

Maybe there could be a sort of plugins page, this wiztree thing seems rather useful particularly with the previous reply's method.

One of the last things that one might be missing coming from say GetFolderSize except this can do specific filetypes..Not that I remember what GFS was like nor that I ever used all of its features.

As it is now, at least AFAI am aware this is only found here in a random post among thousands of posts.

An add-on page that contains these sorts of useful fixes, maybe with tags for each type of fix so one might find things easier.

Such as

WizTree filter addition
[link to file]
Adds a filter to an instance making it possible to see how much of a given folder using the sidebar uses up the total space on a device or alternatively used with exports to see how much space a given filetype or whathaveyou is taken up in each folder and sub-folders.

Tags:wiztree,getfoldersize,space,size,filter,Idfk

Maybe it could be one of the pinned pages. After writing that I realised there should already be one and there is!

Maybe that one can be expanded to contain these sorts of useful fixes..Or yet another pinned post, fortunately the post list is long but page 1 already has a medium chunk of pinned posts

Care to manage it ?
Create a thread: Plugins (or whatever)

Then a short description & links to relevant topics.
So your thread would be the index...

So it could handle "WizTree" & download/file.php?id=6171, & also...



(Long, long ago, I had been thinking of a PlayTime alternative, something along the lines of...

Code: Select all

PlayTime-E
PlayTime-MI

an Everything or MediaInfo version of, PlayTime

But, I never got around to following through on it (& at the time, Everything was less feature-filled, so implementation would have been harder).

Though now, with bpp:, it looks to be done.)

Null already has such a page which I had forgotten about until he linked.
Posted one there viewtopic.php?p=83275#p83275
Found tags to be pointless, so skipped them.
I don't think it's pinned but you could add to browser bookmarks.
