bookmarks - forward slash

Post by harryray2 »

Is there a way to disable the forward slash creating a folder in bookmarks?

I like to keep various ini file settings in a folder in bookmarks but the slash creates a sub folder.

-or-

Disable menu_folders and use bookmark folders in Everything 1.5:

In Everything 1.5, type in the following search and press ENTER:
/menu_folders=0

I tried this earlier, thanks to a previous post, but discovered that when this was applied all my existing bookmark folders disappeared.

I will have to go through all the entries, rename them and create new folders. Is there a way round this?

It might be easier to edit your Bookmarks.csv directly:
  • Ensure Everything is not running (File -> Exit)
  • Your Bookmarks.csv is located in %APPDATA%\Everything
  • Make a backup of your Bookmarks.csv
  • Open your bookmarks.csv (in Notepad or Excel)
  • Remove the slashes from the Name column and set the Folder column for each bookmark.
An example:

Name,Type,Folder,....
"subfolder\nested folder\New bookmark",0,"",...

change to:

Name,Type,Folder,....
"New bookmark",0,"subfolder\nested folder",...
