Feature request: Drag & Drop search results to Folders sidebar for navigation

[Mizufluffy]

Lately I've been trying out the Folders sidebar with combination of the search bar.
I like how I can quite easily select a folder in the sidebar instead of typing path:"some_full_path_here" in the search bar. However, if I want to go deep down in the directory tree in the Folders sidebar then that can take a lot of clicks. In that sense the search bar is very convenient because partial path names work really well there.

What I would like to be able to do is to drag & drop files or folders from the result area to the Folders sidebar. What this should do is copy the path (for files) or full path (for folders), and then navigate to the given location in the Folders sidebar. This way I could more easily search for files or folders using the search bar but then navigate easily to related paths (parent, sibling or child folders) using the Folders sidebar.

Is this something that can be implemented?

Yes, I will support drag-dropping files/folders onto the folder sidebar caption in a future update.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Everything 1.5.0.1291a adds support for drag-dropping files/folders onto the folder sidebar title bar.

That is a very useful feature. Thank you!

But unfortunately an issue fixed in version 1.5.0.1263a has now reappeared. When switching off the folders sidebar the selected path remains active.

In addition, I have noticed the following issue. When Subfolders (box on the bottom) is unselected and folders sidebar is switched off and on again, Subfolders box is now checked but subfolders are not displayed. You have to deselect and reselect Subfolders to show subfolders.

The active folder selection is shown in the statusbar on the bottom right.

Double click the active folder to clear.



Everything 1.5.0.1294a adds a treeview_clear_selection_on_close ini setting.

To clear the active folder selection when the folder sidebar is closed:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /treeview_clear_selection_on_close=1
• If successful, treeview_clear_selection_on_close=1 is shown in the statusbar for a few seconds.

The active folder selection is shown in the statusbar on the bottom right.

Double click the active folder to clear.

With /treeview_clear_selection_on_close=0 (the default),

double clicking the active folder in the lower right clears the active folder when the Folders pane is open.

When the Folder pane is closed, the selection is removed from the statusbar, but the search is not cleared.

Thank you for your reply froggie,

When the Folder pane is closed, the selection is removed from the statusbar, but the search is not cleared.

That was an issue in 1293a, does this occur for you in 1294a?

1294a fixes the issue.

Thank you. This will be useful.
