Tooltips for Everything search results

Hi Gents,

I noticed when hovering over found files from an Everything search, no tooltips are displayed.
However, hovering over Opus and Windows search results displays tooltips.

Is this something that can be changed or is it a limitation of the Everything program?

Thanks.

Looks okay here

Can you also check "Global Everything Search" ?

Reproduced. The 'Global Everything search Results' don't show the Info Tips, no matter the view. The other kinds of searches all do.

Works OK here in the global results:

The problem might be the file-info background threads being tied up processing other files, perhaps.

If you add the General > Description column to the file display, does it get populated for any of the files?

For me, the column gets populated fine.

I did stumble upon another way for there to not show an Info Tip though, which is when searching within This PC (non-global Everything search, no issue within drives or other folders):

What is Preferences / File Displays / Options / Info Tips set to?

Edit: I found the reason. It has to do with that it also searches in non-local drives. The results are definitely local (C:\Users\User\Pictures\Screenshots) but when setting the Folder type to all folders or all local or network drives, it does show the Info Tips. Same with the Global search. The Global/This PC folder type isn't seen as local, even if the results themselves are.
