Support for right aligning Path column

[Unknow0059]

In 2016 a user asked this regarding the Path column. It was unimplemented, so speculation was given.
In 2021 a user similarly asked, but about the Size column. It's implemented, so documentation was given.

How come only the Size and Date columns support alignment settings? That's a rhetorical question.

The first user suggests a truncated middle. I'd prefer that over right aligning, but both is preferrable.

I'm a big fan of Everything but this is a feature I really wish existed.

[void]

Alignment options were implemented.
However, I found it unusable so it was removed.

Paths need to be left aligned for readability.
I will consider an option to set the alignment.
Thank you for the suggestion.



Everything 1.5 supports the following options:

Path Ellipsis

The first part and last part of the path are always shown.

For example:

C:\Program Files\Everything

=>

C:\...\Everything

To enable paths 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.

path_ellipsis



Narrow Paths

Narrow paths show the last part of the path first.

For example:

C:\Program Files\Everything

=>

Everything (C:\Program Files)

To enable narrow paths:

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

path_narrow
(path_narrow overrides path_ellipsis)

The path_ellipsis formatting is excellent, thank you!

*One additional request - can the ellipsis location be made configurable? It would be very helpful to see two levels of parent folders rather than just one:

Currently: C:\Some\Folder\Here\...\Parent
Request: C:\Some\Folder\...\Grandparent\Parent

[void]

I will consider an option to specify the number of levels to show at the end.
Thank you for the suggestion.
