Different date/time layout

[NotNull]

You can change how the date and time are displayed in the result list of Everything using this and this information.

I don't care very much for the default layout (same as File Explorer), so I changed it:

2021-01-15 21_52_49-Window.png (38.84 KiB) Viewed 9665 times

If you want the same layout:

• Type or paste
  /date_format=dd-MM-yyyy
  in the search bar and press ENTER
• Type or paste
  /time_format= HH:mm
  in the search bar and press ENTER
  ( notice the space after = ; that will separate the date and the time a little bit more)
• Done.

Just sharing ....

(Heh. Doesn't everyone already set their date/time like that - in Windows itself.
Control Panel, Regional and Language Options, Regional Options -> Customize.
[That's where, in XP. Win7 would be similar. Win10, is anyone's guess.]
That way, all application should display "correctly".)

Thanks for sharing.

Everything uses the system short date and system short time formats by default.

To change these system wide formats:

• From the Start menu, search for control
• Click Control Panel.
• Click Region.
• Change short date.
• Change short time.
• If you want a more customizable format:
  • Click Additional settings....
  • Click the Time tab.
  • Change the Short time format.
  • Click the Date tab.
  • Change the Short date format.
  • Click OK.
• Click OK.

My system-wide default is to use a 'short year' (21); I like Everything to show the 'long year' (2021). Luckily that is possible

By the way: this is all a result of experimenting with the layout of Everything.
So far I like the Path column at the end. Looking at very long paths is now a simple CTRL+Right-cursor (or two) to see the entire path (after making the Path collumn extremely wide).
For now, I like it better than resizing the Path column width in the original situation (some paths are even too long to be shown in the tooltip [1]
Side effect is that JumpToFolder expects the second column to be the Path (which causes it to error)

End of babbling; back to experimenting

[1] implicit very low priority suggestion to make the tooltip-path multi-line if needed

implicit very low priority suggestion to make the tooltip-path multi-line if needed

I'll make the default max tooltip width slightly smaller.
I'll add an option to customize the max width of the tooltip.
Thanks for the suggestion.
