Some feature requests

Post by vsub »

Right now(unless there is an option for this),if I drop a file list into the everything window(it doesn't matter which control have the focus)even if I drop it over the titlebar,everything will just put the file path in the search field instead of opening the filelist

I know I can just double click on the file and everything will open it but I don't see the reason behind adding a file path into the address bar
How about:
If you are dropping a file into the everything window(not in the result)add path to the directory the file is in
If dropping a folder,add it normally
If dropping a file list,open it

Also,it would be also be nice when dropping a file\folder to add it to the current search term instead of replacing all

Thank you for your feedback vsub,

Everything 1.5.0.1287a adds a hdrop_efu ini setting.

To automatically open file lists when drag-dropping an EFU file list:
  • In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /hdrop_efu=1
  • If successful, hdrop_efu=1 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
-or-

Hold down the ALT key when dropping your EFU file list on Everything.



Everything 1.5.0.1287a also adds the CTRL key modifier to append the drag-drop file list to your search.
