Exporting as CSV - bring back name and path instead filename

Post by tnovak »

Hi!

First of all thank you very much for this amazing tool I'm using everyday!

But could I ask you to make an option (in .ini for example) to bring back the old behavior when exporting to CSV, specifically option to also include name and path separately and not only filename? Or is there already some way how to get the separate name and path back?

It was changed in 1.5.0.1283a:
improved exporting as CSV by using the filename instead of name and path

I was using the separate items and can't use the new alpha due to the change.

Thank you.

Thank you for your feedback tnovak,

Everything 1.5.0.1287a adds a csv_name_and_path ini setting.

To re-enable exporting to CSV with the name and path column:
  • In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /csv_name_and_path=1
  • If successful, csv_name_and_path=1 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
I am sorry I didn't add this ini setting when I made the change in 1283a.

When I export as CSV and open in a text editor the results show as plain text rather than in columns (like a spreadsheet)..If I use the export to CSV from the index journal the results appear in columns.
This appears to happen when /csv_name_and_path=1 is set.

That is only a problem with your text editor.
The exported csv file with version 1.5.0.1288a (x64) has column headers and is comma separated.
Use a csv viewer / editor or spread sheet tool to view it formated.
