Any ay to add bookmark in "Folders" view?

Post by vuslx »

"Folders" view section in 1.5 is wonderful.

But i would like to add bookmark in "Folder" section.

If not, that would be great.

A favourites folder for the folder sidebar is on my TODO list.

You'll be able to pin D:\Pictures, D:\Audio etc... to the favourites folder.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I think, Everything will completely replace explorer.exe for me in the future.

"Everything' is a new for me. I find it a pleasant and handy program.
I don't want to rush anyone, but I was wondering if the option to add favorite folders to the sidebar (similar to "Pin to Quick Access" in Windows Explorer) is still in the pipeline?

Thanks, Wouter

Favorite folders will unlikely happen for Everything 1.5.

It's planned for a future version of Everything.
Thank you for the feedback.



For now, please try bookmarks:
  • In Everything, from the Bookmark menu, click Add to Bookmarks....
  • Give the bookmark a name, for example
    Pictures
    .
  • Change the Search to:
    /explore d:\pictures

    Adjust d:\pictures to your Pictures location.
  • Click OK.

Ah, it's the '/explore' before the path; that makes the difference!
Last question: do you think the option to open a folder in results by double-clicking (Explore in Everything) will be possible in this version (1.5)? I use a keyboard shortcut now, so it's really a detail, but it would be nice.

Thanks for your work!

To explore folders in Everything when opening a folder:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Context menu tab on the left.
  • Select: Open (Folders)
  • Change the Command to:
    $explore-in-everything("%1")
  • Click OK.
