Opening Everything to pre designated files?

Post by phototaker »

Is it possible to set up Everything so that when I click on its icon it opens at a predesignated settings? For instance It might like it to have a default opening which displays today's files from today's, and/or also to have the date column date already sorted by size?

Thanks in advance

You could use the -bookmark <name> command line option to open a predefined search and sort in Everything:
Everything.exe -bookmark "today"

Create a bookmark named "today" in Everything:
  • In Everything, from the Bookmarks menu, click Add to bookmarks...
  • Change the name to Today
  • Check all the remember options and set your default value for each option.
  • Set the search to dm:today
  • Set the sort to Size descending
  • Click OK.
Create a shortcut that will load this bookmark:
  • Create a shortcut to Everything and set the Shortcut target to:
    "C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -bookmark today
  • Where "C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" is the location of your Everything.exe
  • Click OK.
