[Suggestion] Toggle reverse file path

[Rhyzak]

An option to display all the Path columns in reverse would be neat.

For example:

• Off:
  J:\Movies\Galaxy of Terror - Remastered (1981) [1080p]
• On:
  Galaxy of Terror - Remastered (1981) [1080p]\Movies\J:

[void]

I will consider an option to do this.

Thank you for the suggestion.



For now, please try the following path modes in Everything 1.5:

Path Narrow

Show the last folder first.

Example:
Galaxy of Terror - Remastered (1981) [1080p] (J:\Movies)

To enable Path Narrow:

• 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:
  path
• Select: path_narrow
• Set the value to: true
• Click OK.

Path Ellipsis

Show the first and last folder with an ellipsis (...) in the middle.

Example:
J:\...\Galaxy of Terror - Remastered (1981) [1080p]

To enable Path Ellipsis:

• 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:
  path
• Select: path_ellipsis
• Set the value to: true
• Click OK.

Parent Name and Parent Path Column

Show the Parent Name and Parent Path in separate columns.

Example:
Galaxy of Terror - Remastered (1981) [1080p] | J:\Movies

To show the Parent Name and Parent Path columns:

• In Everything 1.5, right click the result list column header.
• Click Add columns....
• Search for:
  parent
• Select: Parent Name and Parent Path
• Click OK.
• Right click the Path column header and click Remove.

Hi Rhyzak .
I'm curious.
I reason that you must have a rational reason for this request, but I can't figure it out.
Might you explain to me how it would be used?

As a software developer I resist the urge to decide that since ***I*** don't have a use for a feature, that feature must be useless. I figure that the proposal is raised by someone who can see further than I can!
Cheers, Chris

It could be the visually optimization for reading, to skip the blank space for eyes, for the order of path and name column, path column on the left of name column or vice verse

I was always think about how to use those 2 column to make the path + name strings looks efficient for my eyes.
The reversed order or right alignment could help, but I don't have to perfect concept yet.

Thank you. I think I understand now.
There are times when our brains want to process the local (n-levels deep) folder data before the root folder or drive. Yes?

I place great weight on the eye/brain combination and can see (sorry!) that there can be situations where we can assist the brain by a more efficient physical placement of incoming data.

It is for that reason that I work in maximized windows - I want to deliver as much data as possible to the brain for each (slow) physical movement of scrolling.

Sometimes people have to wait computers to process, sometimes the computers are waiting us to tell them commands to do, this is where the narrow bandwidth of human machine interface limit us in the pathatic present reality. And Everything is one of the forces struggling to squeeze it.

Good idea about the toggle. It would be useful.
