How can I add a second size column showing the size in bytes?

How can I add a second size column showing the size in bytes?

[void]

Only one size column can be shown.

To change the display format of size to bytes:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the View tab on the left.
• Change Size format to: bytes.
• Click OK.

I will consider an option to show KB and bytes in the same column.
For example: 64 KB (65536 bytes)


Please consider the following search:
column1:=size: add-column:column1

Thank you very much. Perhaps instead of KB and bytes in the same column auto or a user defined value and bytes (or user defined value as well) in the same column (or in two size columns).

For me a size in bytes is hard to read (for large files), that's why I would also find it good to show a normal size.

Please consider the following search:
column1:=size: add-column:column1

Great, thank you, can I change the columns' name (e.g. to "Bytes" or "Byte size") and position?

I have added these columns from "Video"



here:



But no information under these columns. Why is that? The information / tags are not available in the video files?

Change the localization string to Bytes:
Exit Everything (File -> Exit)
Open your Everything.ini in the same location as your Everything.exe
Change the following line:
localization_strings=
to:
localization_strings=Column 1=Bytes

localization_strings

But no information under these columns. Why is that? The information / tags are not available in the video files?

What is the file extension for these files with missing video properties?
If you right click one of these files and click Properties, under the Details tab you should see the videos properties.
Everything should gather the same properties.
Do the properties differ between the property Detail page and what is shown in Everything?

OK, done, thank you for the link as well.

What is the file extension for these files with missing video properties?

Mostly or only mkv, mp4.

If you right click one of these files and click Properties, under the Details tab you should see the videos properties.

Some are there, the most are not:





Builds up line by line. Can I plug off the drive now already?

Do the properties differ between the property Detail page and what is shown in Everything?

I added also some different as before, it appears to be correct, the properties appear not to be differ.


Now, after adding the columns, the informations are shown in the result window one row after the other, there is no (green) progress bar. Did I also (because there is not progress bar) have to wait bevor I plugged off the drive until all of the information, the content of each column is complete built up / displayed (seems to last some hours)? So is the information gathered from the database or from the drive? So as long as the green progress bar is shown I may not plug off the drive, if it is not show I may?

Does it each time take so much time to show the properties or just when indexeing for the first time?

In some columns there is almost no information at all. Is it better to remove them because Everything even needs much time to check this or does it cost (almost) no time to check empty properties?

Only indexed properties under Tools -> Options -> Properties will show the progress bar.

Unindexed information is only gathered from disk when the file/folder is visible in the result window.

So as long as the green progress bar is shown I may not plug off the drive, if it is not show I may?

Please keep your drives online while the progress bar is being shown.

The initial index will take a very long time.

It's going to vary for most properties.
Everything will still need some time to check the file for the desired property.

The initial index will take a very long time.

But the next indexes won't, if there are no new or not too many new items?

[void]

Correct, Everything will try to reuse the existing indexed properties.

So Everything will only need to gather the unindexed properties.

[Biff]

OK, many thanks!

[wer]

really need feature too, please sir void

To show the size in bytes:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the View tab on the left.
• Change Size format to: bytes.
• Click OK.

I will consider support for a secondary size in bytes column.
Thank you for the suggestion.

Consider selecting the file and hovering over the size shown in the statusbar on the right to see the size in bytes.
