1-click selection & highlighting the whole row.

Post by SBsearch01 »

Hi,

Long time user of this excellent utility. I have 2 suggestions to make that I think would be very useful.

1) As of now, double-clicking anywhere on the row selects the item under the "Name" column. Kindly change this behavior to single-click to highlight.
Single-clicking anywhere on the row under the mouse cursor should highlight the row.

2) As of now, only the item under "Name" column is highlighted. Please give an option to highlight the complete row. The rest of the columns can be "faintly" highlighted. This would help in quickly checking out the folder name of the selected item if the "Name" column has been elongated.

All the rest of the App behavior need not change. It's perfect.

Thanks!

  • Click the UI tab (Results tab for Everything 1.5) on the left.
  • Check Full row select.
