Explorer provides a number of useful views that Everything lacks which would be useful to cover with something comparable. I'm not sure if this is already planned or covered...
In particular the attached Explorer icon view (below) crams a lot of items into the screen and its particular use is when you want to drop items into a variety of different folders, you want as many crammed on the screen as possible.
In addition the Explorer thumb views provide more than 2 lines of naming which is very useful when the thumbs are small since just 2 lines (on Everything, below) only represents a few characters showing.

Thanks for your feedback meteorquake,



To set the number of lines for small - medium thumbnails:
  • Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
    /thumbnail_medium_text_lines=3
    (where 3 is the number of text lines)
    Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
    If successful, thumbnail_medium_text_lines=3 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.


thumbnail_medium_text_lines
thumbnail_large_text_lines
thumbnail_extra_large_text_lines
