Open EFU file in a batch mode with extra options

Post by sk2107 »

Hi,

I learnt to open EFU file from command prompt using Everything -filelist , but can I set the command to view the list in large thumbnails mode and use a filter "video:" or "columns:" for example in the same process to be executed all together.


Thanks

Please try the following call:

Everything64.exe -filelist c:\filelists\myfilelist.efu -filter audio -thumbnails -thumbnail-size 256



To set the filter name, use:
-filter <filter-name>



To set the view to thumbnails and specify the thumbnail size, use:
-thumbnails -thumbnail-size 256
where 256 is the thumbnail size in logical pixels.



-filter
-thumbnails
-thumbnails-size



Everything doesn't have a command to set the columns yet.
However, you can include the following in your search to add columns:
addcolumns:length;width;height

To set the search from the command line, use:
-search addcolumns:length;width;height

in addition, can I set the header fields to show in the same command?

Thank you.

Like this?:

Code: Select all

Everything64.exe -filelist c:\filelists\myfilelist.efu -filter audio -thumbnails -thumbnail-size 256 -search addcolumns:length;width;height


Normally the header is not shown in thumbnail view.

You can show the header in thumbnail view with the following call:

Code: Select all

Everything64.exe -filelist c:\filelists\myfilelist.efu -filter audio -thumbnails -thumbnail-size 256 -search addcolumns:length;width;height -config-value thumbnail_view_header=1
-config-value thumbnail_view_header=1

Yes almost, but I want to set the header only to these fields.

Thank you

Use columns: instead of addcolumns:

For example:

columns:name;path;length;width;height

columns:
add-columns:
