Taskbar icon displays search term - as you type it

Post by therube »

(probably in 1.5alpha only?)
(might have been there before, but i rarely have enough width in my taskbar icons for it to have been apparent, if it were?)

Just noting...

Taskbar icon displays the search term - as you type it.

The Everything taskbar button will show the window title bar text.

Everything has always shown the current search in the window title bar.
This can be useful if you have multiple Everything search windows opened.



To remove the current search from the window title bar (and the taskbar button):
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Advanced tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    title
  • Select window_title_format.
  • Set the value to:

    Code: Select all

    $f?{$f - }$t$i?{ ($i)} $v [if:isadmin:,"[Administrator]"]
    
  • Click OK.


To show the current search at the end of the window title bar (and the taskbar button):
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Advanced tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    title
  • Select window_title_format.
  • Set the value to:

    Code: Select all

    $f?{$f - }$t$i?{ ($i)} $v [if:isadmin:,"[Administrator]"]$s?{ - $s}
    
  • Click OK.

Just wanted to give it a try, however, my ET 1.5 (1.5.0.1342a) does not show an Advanced Tab on the left of the options windows.

I do have a tree on the left with various sections, e.g. "General", "UI", "Home" ... but unfortunately no advanced label anywhere.

So, where do I have to search?

The advanced tab was added in 1344a



To manually set the window title format:
  • Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
    /window_title_format=$f?{$f - }$t$i?{ ($i)} $v [if:isadmin:,"[Administrator]"]
  • Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
