Everything - Version No. in header

[tuska]

I think this header is very good. ... Picture
1.5.0.1251a (x64)

If one could prefix the version number with "Everything", then it would be perfect from my point of view...

Code: Select all

Everything 1.5.0.1251a (x64)
or
Everything (x64) 1.5.0.1251a

I like that much better than, for example...
c:\windows\ - Everything
or
explorer.exe - Everything

Perhaps this could still be set up with an option in Everything?

I think "Version No. in header" it's good and should be default for alpha/beta.
It will help Forum Community with knowing the version when a screenshot is uploaded.

Perfect!

In such a case, I would suggest an additional option, namely that you indicate in the title bar
with some character, e.g. "^", whether Everything was started as an administrator.

E.g.

Code: Select all

^Everything 1.5.0.1251a (x64)

[void]

I have added some preprocessor commands to the title format in Everything 1.5.0.1252a.

To show a ^ in front of Everything, when Everything is running as an admin:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:

  Code: Select all

  /window_title_format=#if(:#isadmin:,^#):$t $v
  

preprocessor syntax:
#function:text
#function(:arg1,arg2,arg3,...#):
#(:a literal block of text#):

Currently supported preprocessor functions:

• #if:condition,true-value,false-value -if condition is true, returns true-value, else false-value.
• #len:text -returns the length of text in UTF-16 characters.
• #version: -returns the current version with the major.minor.revision.build format.
• #isadmin: -returns 1 if running as an admin, 0 otherwise.

This list will grow in future versions.

Thank you for the prompt implementation of the suggestion!

[void]

For Everything 1.5.0.1253a, please try the following title format:

/window_title_format=#if:(#isadmin:,^)$t $v

[tuska]

For Everything 1.5.0.1253a, please try the following title format:

/window_title_format=#if:(#isadmin:,^)$t $v

Thank you!
After restarting 'Everything', everything is displayed again in the desired way:

Code: Select all

Everything - Version No. in header	Remark
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everything 1.5.0.1253a (x64)		Everything started without administrator rights
^Everything 1.5.0.1253a (x64)		Everything started with    administrator rights

[void]

For Everything 1.5.0.1262a, please try the following title format:

/window_title_format=#if:<#isadmin:,^>$t $v

[tuska]

For Everything 1.5.0.1262a, please try the following title format:

/window_title_format=#if:<#isadmin:,^>$t $v

Thank you for this information.
Everything works again as indicated just above.

I have just noticed that when an additional instance is used, in the title bar of Everything
it is no longer possible to determine which version is being used, i.e. the first instance or the additional instance.

Could you please also display the instance in the title bar?

Example:

Code: Select all

Everything 1.5.0.1272a (x64) ................. first instance
Everything 1.5.0.1272a (x64) - (PRIVATE) ..... additional instance

[void]

/window_title_format=#if:<#isadmin:,^>$t$i?{ ($i)} $v

[tuska]

/window_title_format=#if:<#isadmin:,^>$t$i?{ ($i)} $v

Thanks a lot!

Code: Select all

Everything (PRIVATE) 1.5.0.1272a (x64)

... is then displayed in the title bar for the above example.

[void]

If you want the dash and instance after the version, please use:

/window_title_format=#if:<#isadmin:,^>$t $v$i?{ - ($i)}

[tuska]

If you want the dash and instance after the version, please use:

Code: Select all

/window_title_format=#if:<#isadmin:,^>$t $v$i?{ - ($i)}

Thank you, I prefer this variant: ...

Code: Select all

Everything 1.5.0.1272a (x64) - (PRIVATE)

Only example:
- Instance name: "PRIVATE"
  (Path\to\Everything64.exe -instance "PRIVATE")
- Everything Service: Everything (PRIVATE)

Everything 1.5.0.1286a will now show [Administrator] in the window caption when running as an administrator by default.

I like this option very much because the use of Everything as an administrator is displayed so concisely
that it is almost impossible to overlook this fact.

At present, however, the Everything version no. and instance title is not displayed for this variant, but only:

Code: Select all

Everything [Administrator]

Perhaps one could change this code:

Code: Select all

/window_title_format=#if:<#isadmin:,^>$t $v$i?{ - ($i)}

... to show the following - Examples:

Code: Select all

Everything 1.5.0.1289a (x64) - [Administrator]
Everything 1.5.0.1289a (x64) - (PRIVATE) - [Administrator]

Please check.
Thank you!

Using default settings the version number is shown before Administrator.

[NotNull]

My opinion:

It is enough to show that Everything is running as Administrator, so you can fix that "mistake"

[tuska]

Using default settings the version number is shown before Administrator.

If I remove this line from Everything.ini:

Code: Select all

window_title_format=#if:<#isadmin:,^>$t $v$i?{ - ($i)}

then the title bar will only say -> Everything.
In Everything.ini I then only have this entry: window_title_format=

If I start Everything as an administrator, it says Everything [Administrator] in the title bar.

I am currently not aware of any option that I could have set regarding the title bar,
which leads to the view you indicated.

So at the moment I leave my setting with version no., instance title, ^Everything... as administrator as it is.

I suppose that is also what you are suggesting here.

Thank you, I didn't doubt that you had such a setting.
I just don't know how I would have to adjust my Everything.ini.

Doesn't this work for you?

Thank you, I didn't doubt that you had such a setting.
I just don't know how I would have to adjust my Everything.ini.

I never changed anything related to that topic and I'm not aware of any option.
So only David can tell us whats the reason for your display.
For me the version info is not importand
as I'm always running the latest alpha

[void]

The issue is most likely due to the current Language.

Temporarily try setting your Language to English (US) and the title should include the version and [Administrator].


I'll look into a new localization string and retiring the old one.

For now, set your window_title_format to:
/window_title_format=$s?{$s - }$t$i?{ ($i)} $v#if:<#isadmin:, [Administrator]>
(this is the current default English (US) window_title_format)

[NotNull]

Oh, brain wave: if you don't run your Everything in portable mode (and/or have Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything enabled), running as adminiustrator will have a different ini file. Make sure you are looking at the right one

about:config should open the one you are using at that moment.

[tuska]

Doesn't this work for you?

Code: Select all

/window_title_format=$t $v$i?{ - ($i)}#if:<#isadmin:, - [Administrator]>

Thank you very much!
That is exactly what I wanted.

Code: Select all

Everything 1.5.0.1289a (x64) - [Administrator]
Everything 1.5.0.1289a (x64) - (PRIVATE) - [Administrator]

Thank you also for your efforts.
For me, the version number, etc. is important, even though I usually use the latest alpha version.
