Open efu list created with notepad

[vsub]

I often use autohotkey or something else to create a efu list to the clipboard,then from notepad save it as efu file and then open it in Everything,but the problem is,all paths must be enclosed with double quotes,otherwise everything doesn't show the paths correctly.

Can something be done about this?
Auto add double quotes when opening the list or read the normally like when they do have double quotes around the paths.

but the problem is,all paths must be enclosed with double quotes

The double quotes are not required, they are only used to escape commas (,).
This should only be an issue if there are commas in the filename.

otherwise everything doesn't show the paths correctly.

How do you mean the paths don't show correctly?

Create a file list in notepad that contains

Code: Select all

Filename,Size,Date Modified,Date Created,Attributes
Some long path to a folder

and save.

The list you created will contains items for every single folder and one unknown file

If the path is
C:\Documents and Settings\VSUB\Desktop\Video\Other
when I open the list,it shows it 5 locations(one for each folder)and one unknown file pointing to that folder

What I was hopping for is to create a list with notepad pointing to files and folders and when I open the list,everything will show all of the items and what's inside the folders.

Btw is this normal(I don't remember it like this).
If I drag-drop a folder from the desktop(or in some sub folder on the desktop)to the File List Editor or from the search result(again folder on the desktop),the list will contains the path excluding the that lead to the desktop.

Before(I think)
C:\Documents and Settings\VSUB\Desktop\Video\Other
Now
Video\Other

I'm using the latest beta(x86 on WinXP)

Everything will automatically add the folders back to the root.
Unless you specify the attributes, Everything will assume a file list item is a file.

Everything will only list the items you specify in the file list.

Everything will try to use relative paths when you save the file list.
These relative paths are relative to the file list location.
Save the file list to a different drive to use absolute paths.

That doesn't look very nice...if I create a file list that contains all that is on the desktop,save the list on the desktop and then at some point move it somewhere else,all paths will be wrong and I won't be able to open anything.

Is there some ini option that makes everything to always use full paths?
And btw this is kind of offtopic but this was always bothering me.
In the File List Creator I always see the horizontal scrollbar(which I hate)and no matter how I set the columns size,they are reverted to normal when I close the window.
Can you also add a feature to remember the columns size for the File List Creator too(and Alternate row color will be nice too)?

Currently the file list editor only remembers the window position and size. I have on my "Thing to do" list to remember column sizes, positions and visibility. I added the alternate row color to my list too.

Ok thanks.

I've added the ini option file_list_relative_paths in Everything 1.3.4.680.

To disable relative paths:

• Exit Everything completely.
• Open your Everything.ini in %APPDATA%\Everything.
  Change

  Code: Select all

  file_list_relative_paths=1

  to:

  Code: Select all

  file_list_relative_paths=0

It works,thanks
