Version 12.3
In the past I was able to use the Windows search bar in dopus and the result would ADD an extra column that shows file location. It no longer adds that column. I can add it manually but then it shows in every other situation. How can I fix this?
Go to Preferences / Folders / Folder Formats and check that the Search Results format is a) turned on, and b) adds the column you want.
It appears to be set up right. I also tried resetting, removing and adding, quitting and starting, etc. But nothing shakes it into place. See attached
-
One other thing to check is that you don't have the format lock (the padlock icon on the status bar) turned on in the Lister.
-
You can also hover the mouse over the lock to get an information pop-up about where the current format comes from.
If neither helps:
-
Is there anything related to search results in the Path Formats section at the top of the list of formats in Preferences? If a format has been saved for a specific set of results, it will override the more generic Search Results format.
-
When testing changes to formats made via Preferences, be sure to close any open listers and test in new windows, to remove any effects made by temporary changes.
Your suggestion checking the lock solved it. Thanks for your help.
