1.5.0.1415b_Content_Tooltips -- 1.5.0.1416b_Advanced_Tooltips missing

Post by tuska »

Everything-1.5.0.1416b - 2.7.2026
...

-> Options -> Indexes -> Content
 ● moved content indexing options to advanced.
-> Options - 1.5.0.1416b -> Advanced
-> Show settings containing: content

Unfortunately, the tooltips in version 1.5.0.1415b have not (yet) been carried over to version 1.5.0.1416b.

Everything 1.5 - INI Settings
  1. content_indexing_enabled: "Index file content"
    Tooltip:

    Code: Select all

    Index file content for the specified files.
    Everything will store content in memory.
    For the best performance, please use content exclude filters to limit
    the number of files to content index.
    I'm not sure where to display the content of this tooltip:
    1. Options - Advanced - Value for content_indexing_enabled: ... The mouse cursor is pointing at "true"
        - OR -
    2. INI Settings - Text Addition

    Please see also Point 10.
     
  2. content_indexing_include_only_folders: "Include only folders:"
    Tooltip:

    Code: Select all

    Semicolon delimited wildcard filter list for which folders to include.
    ** = match any character any number of times.
     * = match any character except \ any number of times.
    Subfolders are included.
    Include a backslash (\) to match full paths and filenames.
    Otherwise, match name only.
    Empty = Include all folders.
    regex: = Regular expressions.
    Example: C:\Downloads;D:\My Documents;E:\
  3. content_indexing_exclude_folders: "Exclude folders:"
    Tooltip:

    Code: Select all

    Semicolon delimited wildcard filter list for which folders to exclude.
    ** = match any character any number of times.
     * = match any character except \ any number of times.
    Include a backslash (\) to match full paths and filenames.
    Otherwise, match name only.
    Empty = No folders excluded.
    regex: = Regular expressions.
    Example: C:\Windows;D:\Temp;E:\
  4. content_indexing_include_only_files: "Include only files:"
    Tooltip:

    Code: Select all

    Semicolon delimited wildcard filter list for which files to include.
    ** = match any character any number of times.
     * = match any character except \ any number of times.
    Include a backslash (\) to match full paths and filenames.
    Otherwise, match name only.
    Empty = Include all files.
    regex: = Regular expressions.
    Example: *.docx;*.pdf;D:\**.txt
  5. content_indexing_exclude_files: "Exclude files:"
    Tooltip:

    Code: Select all

    Semicolon delimited wildcard filter list for which files to exclude.
    ** = match any character any number of times.
     * = match any character except \ any number of times.
    Include a backslash (\) to match full paths and filenames.
    Otherwise, match name only.
    Empty = No files excluded.
    regex: = Regular expressions.
    Example: *.tmp;*.db;D:\Docs\**(BAD)*.txt
  6. content_indexing_exclude_not_content_indexed: "Exclude not content indexed"
    Tooltip:

    Code: Select all

    Exclude files and folders with the not content indexed attribute.
  7. content_indexing_exclude_recall_on_data_access: "Exclude recall on data access"
    Tooltip:

    Code: Select all

    Exclude files and folders with the recall on data access attribute.
    Enable to prevent downloading content from the cloud.
  8. content_indexing_max_size: 0 = (default)
    Tooltip:

    Code: Select all

    Content will be ignored for files with a size larger than specified.
        0 = Include all.
     1 KB = 1024 bytes.
     1 MB = 1024 KB.
     1 GB = 1024 MB.
  9. content_indexing_max_size_unit: 2 = MB. (default)
    Tooltip: :?:

    Code: Select all

    Content will be ignored for files with a size larger than specified.
        0 = Include all.
     1 KB = 1024 bytes.
     1 MB = 1024 KB.
     1 GB = 1024 MB.
    Shouldn't this tooltip be adjusted (< version 1.5.0.1416b) to match the INI settings?
    --> Dropdown-field in 'Options > 'Advanced' available! <--

     
  10. Options - 1.5.0.1415b
    Tooltip:

    Code: Select all

    ⚠️ Text content is stored in memory.
       Set content exclude filters for the best performance.
    I'm not sure where to display the content of this tooltip:
    1. Options - Advanced - Value for content_indexing_enabled: ... The mouse cursor is pointing at "true"
        - OR -
    2. INI Settings - Text Addition

    Please see also Point 1.
Since tooltips are an important and easily accessible source of information,
I would like to request that the tooltips be transferred.

Thanks for the suggestions tuska,

There's no good place to show the tooltip.
The help will be available online only for Everything 1.5 here:
https://www.voidtools.com/everything/options/advanced/#content_indexing_enabled

For the main documentation, content indexing is not going to be mentioned.
It is a hidden advanced feature with limited support.

I find this very unfortunate, because I would have seen a good opportunity for points 2-5, 8-9,
namely, to add the valuable tooltips here, similar to the tooltip for e.g. "window_title_format", etc..
