specific named stream as property/column?

Post by jimspoon »

Would it be possible to make a property / column out of a specific named data stream? Each metadata field could be stored in its own named data stream (there doesn't seem to be any tight limit on the number of streams a file can have). Would be great to be able to search and sort on such fields. Right now I see I can have "Alternate Data Stream Names" as a property/column and multiple stream names are separated by semi-colons. Also I have "Alternate Data Stream Text/Plain" as another property/column; this contains the content of all the file's streams, again the contents of the individual named streams are separated by semi-colons.

I got the idea here: https://jdhitsolutions.com/blog/scripti ... ta-streams

This is already possible in version 1.5.
I use 2 named ADS streams and index them under properties.
They are also shown as columns in my default layout.

The following line in my ini file defines the streams Tag and Comment
property_alternate_data_stream_ansi=Tag=Tag;custom property 0=Comment;custom property 1=Tag

Thanks, I had forgotten this! Even though I had posted about this INI setting!
