[SOLVED] Multiple file selection useful info from the Windows Explorer's "details pane" to Everything's status bar

Post by GSD »

Windows Explorer from Windows 10 does something cool with it's details pane when one selects multiple files of the same type. For example, if one selects two video files, it'll show their combined(added) length and other properties, like resolution, if common. If properties differ, it sais "(multiple values)".

It would be super useful if Everything did the same with it's status bar regarding indexed properties. Combined video/audio length is especially one I find myself going back to Explorer for.

Thank you!

Summing selected values like length and showing them in the status bar automatically is on my TODO list.

It's possible to do this now with length indexing and Status Bar Format.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Excellent!
I wasn't aware of this. Great stuff. Thank you for the info.
