Multiple Searches in a Single Bookmark

Post by void »

Everything 1.5.0.1405a improves bookmarks.

You can now execute multiple searches in a single bookmark.

Bookmarks can support multiple lines.
Use Shift + Enter to add a new line.
Each line can specify a separate search.
Searches are executed in order.



The following functions can be used to manipulate the results:

search-current-results:


Search with the current results.



no-clear-selection:


Do no clear the selection with the new search.



/setfilelist1


Save the current results to a file list slot.



Examples:

Select the item with the longest length from each size duplicate group:

Code: Select all

distinctsort:size;name-length distinct:size
/select-all
no-clear-selection: dupesort:size;name-length dupe:size

Bookmarks can support multiple lines.
Use ALT + Enter or Shift + Enter to add a new line.
[...]
#1] The
Left Alt + Enter
and
Left Shift + Enter
do add a second line - but the
Right Alt + Enter
and
Right Shift + Enter
do not


#2] The ballooned tip says
[...]
Use Alt + Enter to add a new line.
thus it does not specify it has to be the
Left
version and fails to mention the
Shift
shortcut at all


#3] I propose inclusion of the 2nd and maybe 3rd (empty) line(s) by default, so that it would suggest to users outright that the data field of this
Search
element is a multi-line environment


#4] If the at least the 2nd line do get added permanently, then it would be then handy to include a buttons for adding and removal of lines, which when clicked would manipulated the height of the
Search
field with the actual lines of code, so that the users would not have to remember and execute yet another keyboard shortcut. These buttons could be placed just below the current
Search:
title and its
(No change)
/
Custom
box, thus use the empty space addition of mandatory 2nd line would create


I am using Everything 1.5.0.1406a x64 Portable

Both should work.
It might be your input language.
What is your input language? eg: English (US)


#2] fails to mention the Shift shortcut at all
I'll change it Shift + Enter as that is the most common method to add a new line.
No need to mention both.


#3] I propose inclusion of the 2nd and maybe 3rd (empty) line(s) by default - so that it would suggest to users outright that data field of this
Search is a multi-line environment
Search commands are an advanced feature.
The default will be to show only a single line.


#4] If the at least the 2nd line gets added permanently it would be then handy to include a button for adding and removal of lines, which when clicked would manipulated the height of the
Search
field with the actual lines of code, so that the users would not have to remember and execute yet another keyboard shortcut
Lines are not added permanently.
They can always be removed.
You can always get back to a single line.
The dialog will only grow to show 5 lines.
After that a scrollbar is added.

I have just checked exactly how this works thus also on my main normal keyboard - and its is just my remote mini keyboard that does not react to Right Alt + Enter

So: false alarm


As for the multi-line feature

How about adding a mandatory empty vertical space between the lines of
Search:
and
Filter:
and thus creating a space for those buttons, which buttons would be visible always? An increased size of the dialog area itself would occur only if user would hit the button for adding 2nd line

I will consider a vertical space.
Thank you for the suggestion.

For now, I would like to keep the search a single line and the UI minimal.
