Include 'Group by'

[Ntoup]

Is it possible to add the feature that also exists in Windows where you can Group the results? This would help to more easily search per filetype.

I will look into adding an option to 'group' results.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Dear Ntoup
for now you can easily add extension column and sort by extension.

Thanks, I know of sorting by extension. The issue is that if there is a very large number of files, it will take a lot of scrolling to get to the next filetype, whereas the collapsible headers of the Group by sections are very for this.

Ditto to this request!

I'm currently trying to write an interface that can export ET results and display this grouping based on a query string. But I'm struggling with the design and details. If this could be done within ET, that would be amazing! Thanks for considering it!

I just discovered dupe_line_color and dupe_group_colors. These are very helpful too. Thanks!

Something I've hoped for for some time on those lines, but a slightly more general form of it, which is transitions. You have an equation on the view, so that when the equation gives a different value from one result line to the next you create a transition effect between them, something of a simple nature such as a coloured gap between, new line, dividing line, change of background, heading etc.
The "Group By" idea would be a restricted case of a transition.
