Hi,
I recently discovered Directory Opus and am blown away by its features and customizability!!
This is a longshot, but asking just in case it's possible:
Can we replicate Listary FAYT behavior as shown below.
It's a hybrid/combination of DOpus Find and Filter options, where all the files/folders remain visible, and the filtered selection is displayed in a new popup box. I find this very useful, so wondering if we can do this, please?
The filter bar basically does something similar. You can find it in the preferences under the first "FAYT" section, under default mode / no activation key required.
Thanks for commenting on my question. I have looked at the Filter Bar option, but it's not what I was looking for - because it does not highlight matches and also hides everything else. I'm currently using the "Filter" options, which does highlight matches, but it still hides everything else.
What I was hoping for was three things:
highlight matches
display all files/folders
display filtered files/folder (like the separate Listary overlay)
Yes, it does. It does 2 of the 3 things I mentioned above (highlight + display all files). But it does not give a filtered view of just the matches. The Filter mode does highlights + filtered view of just the matches, but it does not give the full view of all files. So, it also does 2 of the 3 things.
Currently I can either have, highlights + all files, or, highlights + filtered view. In the Listary screenshot in post 1, we see three things:
Colors and Columns can be modified. Clicking on an item will take you to it in DOpus. You can also do some file management functions from within Everything - delete, cut, copy, rename. Hotkey to open it is available.
Thanks. This is how I already use Everything, mostly to find files or folders across the whole system.
In this post, I was interested in searching at the current folder level, but more specifically, the display of the results
it's two different programs (Opus and Everything) and two different scripts (es.exe and ed.exe).
the scripts are a wrapper for Everything's search results in Opus.
The chief improvement is speed. It also has buttons for current folder search, search based on clipboard contents and searching in the entire partition.
I never had good luck with Fast Search with Everything and I'm not interested in a command line interface (CLI) to Everything. Everything is a separate GUI for Everything in DOpus.
Thanks jinsight. Quick update. I tested this script and I think it does what I already do with Everything (without any script). Which is, I just right-click in a folder and select "Search Everything". Then I have a dynamic search where I can type and re-type different searches:
