temp omit with filter in place and temp omit parent directory

[harryray2]

If I use the folder filter and temp omit a directory and then use the file filter or if I just temp omit a directory from the listing and do a new search, the temp omit is lost..Is this normal and is there a way around it?

Also, if I want to temp omit a parent folder, can this be done?
For example, if I navigate to d:\watch\anyfilm.mp4 or d:\watch\films\anyfilm.mp4. can I temp omit the d:\watch directory?

[void]

The next alpha update will keep temporary omissions until the search window is closed.
There will be an option to clear the temporary omissions after each search which will be disabled by default.

Also, if I want to temp omit a parent folder, can this be done?
For example, if I navigate to d:\watch\anyfilm.mp4 or d:\watch\films\anyfilm.mp4. can I temp omit the d:\watch directory?

Right click the file, under the Parent folder submenu, click Temporarily omit.

[void]

Everything 1.5.0.1316a will now keep temporarily omitted results until the search window is closed.

Thanks David, I just noticed this..That's much better
Some more questions I'm afraid:

Is there a way of prefixing the parent directory, with the word parent? It's just that my context menu is a bit cluttered, and this would make it easier to spot? I have, in the meantime, put in a separator line which helps a bit.

Are there plans in the near future to be able temp omit a file or folder, without first enabling results omissions? It's a bit of a problem having to disable the other omissions when I only need one thing omitted.
Also, is it possible to have a sort option for enabled and disabled in the results omissions?

An option to automatically disable results omissions on exiting Everything.

Incidentally, it's not a problem, but

will now keep temporarily omitted results until the search window is closed

stays active until exited, not closed.

I know I can highlight all the enabled, entries then disable them all, but it's a pain and as they are scattered about, with no way of sorting them it does become time consuming and each time I have to highlight them all again enable the again.

Apart from these niggles, temp omit is really useful.

Is there a way of prefixing the parent directory, with the word parent?

Currently, no.
I will consider an option to do this.

This context menu item should always have the folder icon.

Are there plans in the near future to be able temp omit a file or folder, without first enabling results omissions?

I will consider a separate option to toggle temporary result omissions.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Also, is it possible to have a sort option for enabled and disabled in the results omissions?

I will consider an option to sort by enabled status.
Thanks for the suggestion.

A possible future search function might also be useful, eg: enabled: / disabled:

An option to automatically disable results omissions on exiting Everything.

To make omit results disabled for new search windows:

• Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
  /home_omit_results=1
• Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
• If successful, home_omit_results=1 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
  ---
• Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
  /omit_results=0
• Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
• If successful, omit_results=0 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.

home_omit_results
omit_results

stays active until exited, not closed.

Do you have hide on close enabled?

• Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
  /hide_on_close
• Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
• hide_on_close=x is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
• where x = 0 for disabled and 1 for enabled.
• -If enabled, temporarily omissions will persist until you exit Everything.

Thanks, that would be so much better, whereas I find the temp omit incredibly useful, having to first enable results omission is a lot of hassle and as I mentioned, very time consuming as I have quite a lot of entries.

I will consider an option to sort by enabled status.
Thanks for the suggestion.

A possible future search function might also be useful, eg: enabled: / disabled:

Again, thanks, that would be useful for long list.

What does 'omit_results_persist' do?

Of course, with the ability to do temp omissions without having to enable omit results would solve all these problems at a stroke.

I tried this ouut, it doesn't appear to do anything. Results omissions are still enabled in new windows and after restart.

Closing Everything is overwriting these settings, please try the following:

• Type in the following search and press ENTER:
  about:config
  ---this will open your Everything.ini in Notepad.
• Change the following line:
  home_omit_results=0
  to:
  home_omit_results=1
• Change the following line:
  omit_results=1
  to:
  omit_results=0
• Save changes to your Everything.ini
• Exit notepad.
• In Everything, accept the prompt to reload your Everything.ini

Thanks David, I managed to solve that, apologies, I didn't read your instructions properly and my editing of the post, crossed with your reply.

What does 'omit_results_persist' do?

When enabled, your result omissions are kept between Everything sessions (exit and restart Everything will keep your result omissions) (default)
When disabled, Everything clears your result omissions when started.

omit_results_persist

As I mentioned above, with the ability to use temp omissions without having to enable omit results would solve all these problems at a stroke.

An option to do this is on my TODO list.
Currently, Omit Results must be enabled to use temporary result omissions.

Thanks, that's all brilliant, seems to cover my current problems and questions (I hope) with temp omit...
