Feature request: pause button

Post by kazzybash »

hi, hereby a feature request. It would be nice (not necessary :P ) to have a pause button for use with the search:

!FileHistory\ file: | folder:

I have the list for this search sorted by modification date, so I see which files are being changed in my system. Sometimes this goes so fast that I lose track of a file that I am looking out for. The work around for now it to type in part of the filename (if I can see it) so I can pinpoint the file.

Kind regards, Kazzy

Look under Index > Pause Updates
and Options > Keyboard > "Index | Pause Updates" to add a hotkey.

You can also get more mileage by searching for, or sorting by, Recently Changed files. This ignores the date modified and date created attributes, which are often falsified and cluttered with dates far flung into the future. Ie: rc:last2hours

Requires enabling the Recent Change database: Options > Indexes > [x] Index recent changes

Thanks raccoon!!
I never knew about this search command. Can I change 2 hours to, say, 24 hours? And what does 'rc' refer to? What does it mean?

Kind regards, kazzy

I hope both of your questions are answered in the two web links at the bottom of my previous post. Let me know if not.
