Open Bookmark Tab action / Filter behavior Back button

Post by Phlashman »

I had a tab open with a custom filter... I opened a saved Bookmark (it was saved with Everything Filter which i wanted) thinking it would open a new tab... Nope, it overwrote the existing tab which i didn't want it to do, so I went to History/Back (Alt-Left). It brought back my original search but NOT my custom filter i had :-(
  1. How to i get Bookmarks to open in a new tab by default so they don't overwrite current tab?
  2. How do get the Back button (Alt-Left) to bring back my original search including the custom Filter?
  3. Does History NOT include the filter setting? Should it?
Thanks

How to i get Bookmarks to open in a new tab by default so they don't overwrite current tab?
Hold down Ctrl when opening the bookmark.

-or-

To set the default action:
  • 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:
    open search
  • Select: open_search_action
  • Set the value to: New tab
  • Click OK.

How do get the Back button (Alt-Left) to bring back my original search including the custom Filter?
Alt+Left should restore the previous search and filter.
You might need to go back one extra step.
-Everything is incorrectly adding an extra navigation history item when the bookmark changes the filter, i'll look into a fix..


Does History NOT include the filter setting?
Search history doesn't save the filter, but nav history does.
Nav history is shown under the History menu.

Everything 1.5.0.1424b fixes an issue with adding an extra navigation history item when the bookmark changes the filter.
