Achieve the same with the same key, F9, with bookmarks?

Post by Biff »

When I press F9 a special filter is applied. When I press F9 again the filter "Everything" is applied. Pressed again F9 the filter before and so forth. How can I achieve the same with the same key, F9, with bookmarks so that I additionally have special columns shown for each of the filters?

Bookmarks cannot be toggled.

Use a filter instead.
Filters can change your columns, view and layout via search functions:

columns:
add-columns:
remove-columns:
view:
layout:
add-layout:
remove-layout:

Super, many thanks!

How could one add in a filter to a column "Size column to fit" or add a special, defined width or "Size all columns to fit" for all columns?

Image

How could I copy / export / import the columns to use with other filters:
From here

Image

to here

Image

How could one keep the context menus open to click more than one item, instead of having to each time open it again after clicking one item:
Image

Why is the length column shown here and the order of the columns different to the defined one in the filter(?):
Image

Edit: Ah, because the columns are added, not replaced. Thought they are replaced, missed the mouse hover information.

Is this filter correct here:

Image

In the search field:
!A: !B: !D: !E: !F: !G: !H: !K: !L: !M: !N: !O: !P: !Q: !R: !S: !T: !U: !V: !W: !X: !Y: !Z: column1:=size: add-column:column1 columns:name;size;date-created;date-modified;extension;volume-label;date-accessed;type;full-path-length;date-indexed;full-path

So it now shows only the columns defined abouve, not more, not less.

Or is there anything that could be done better?

There's no such option yet.
Everything will use the previous column width (or the default width if the column was never shown)

I will consider an option to specify the column widths.


How could I copy / export / import the columns to use with other filters
Ctrl + C to copy the columns as text.
Ctrl + V to paste them.


How could one keep the context menus open to click more than one item, instead of having to each time open it again after clicking one item
I will consider an option to do this.
For now, it might be easier to use result list column header -> right click -> Add Columns....
Select multiple columns.


Why is the length column shown here and the order of the columns different to the defined one in the filter(?):
This is an indexed property (Tools -> Options -> Properties)
Because you are indexing this property, it's likely you will want quick access to it from this menu.
It's currently unchecked (not shown).



!A: !B: !D: !E: !F: !G: !H: !K: !L: !M: !N: !O: !P: !Q: !R: !S: !T: !U: !V: !W: !X: !Y: !Z: column1:=size: add-column:column1 columns:name;size;date-created;date-modified;extension;volume-label;date-accessed;type;full-path-length;date-indexed;full-path
Please try:

Code: Select all

!A: !B: !D: !E: !F: !G: !H: !K: !L: !M: !N: !O: !P: !Q: !R: !S: !T: !U: !V: !W: !X: !Y: !Z: column1:=size: columns:name;size;date-created;date-modified;extension;volume-label;date-accessed;type;full-path-length;date-indexed;full-path;column1
I would avoid mixing add-column: and columns:
Simply include column1 in your column list.

Please note that column1 is experimental.
It will be stable in the next update.

Thank you very much!

Ctrl + C to copy the columns as text.
Ctrl + V to paste them.
So to add them here

I have to modify / adapt them? E.g. add a hyphen to "Date Modified" and change the case?

Sorry, I do not understand. Where is it unchecked? What quick access from what menu?

You would need to paste the columns into notepad, which will paste each column onto a new line.
Modify the text in notepad to be a single semicolon delimited line.
Edit: convert spaces to hyphens (-).

For example:

Name
Path
Size
Date Modified

=>

Name;Path;Size;Date-Modified

Name;Path;Size;Date Modified
So there is no hyphen needed for Date Modified. And the case does not matter.

I am very sorry, but I do not understand anything. I meant: Why is the length column shown here, although it is not activated?

And why is the order of the columns different to the defined one in the filter? Is it because of that(?):
Because the columns are added, not replaced. Thought they are replaced, missed the mouse hover information.
Sorry again for my extremely bad understanding.

Sorry, I was looking at the wrong image.

Please make sure you leave the the filter columns set to (No change)

Instead use the column: search, for example:

columns:name;size;date-created;date-modified;extension;full-path;length;date-accessed;type;date-indexed;volume-label;full-path-length;column1


There's some ordering issues with columns:property1,property2,property3,...
I'll have these fixed for the next alpha update.

Yes, it is like that.

columns:name;size;date-created;date-modified;extension;full-path;length;date-accessed;type;date-indexed;volume-label;full-path-length;column1
Is this the column: search(?):

Everything 1.5.0.1316a fixes an issue with columns: showing columns in the incorrect order.
