bookmark drop down menu

[harryray2]

I'm accumulating a lot of bookmarks...Is it possible to either make the drop down menu mouse wheel scrollable or even better, widen the list so that scrolling down isn't necessary and all the bookmarks are visible at once?

Thanks

Brill programme btw!!

Windows blocks mouse wheel events when a menu is displayed. I would have to implement my own menus to do this.

You might be interested in "menu folders".

Thanks...any plans to try and implement a column view? Also, would it be possible to have a jump to top/bottom option on the bookmarks menu?

Forgot to add...Is there an option in the ini file to stop the bookmark menu remembering it's last position so that each time I access the menu it starts at the top?

I've added an ini option to show menu items in columns to Everything 792b:
http://www.voidtools.com/Everything-1.4.1.792b.x86.zip
http://www.voidtools.com/Everything-1.4.1.792b.x64.zip

To enable this option:

• Completely exit Everything (right click the Everything system tray icon and click Exit).
• Open your %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini.
• Change the following line:
  menu_items_per_column=0
  to:
  menu_items_per_column=50
• where 50 is the number of items per column. 0 = disable.
• Save changes and restart Everything.

When using this option UI for Bookmark menu list is looking old:
- no space (column) on the left of the items
- solid selection
- narrow lines

no space (column) on the left of the items

I don't see this here, I've tested on Windows XP, 7 and 10 and they all show a indentation space on the left of all columns.
Could you please send a screenshot? What version of Windows are you using?

solid selection

narrow lines

This is odd, looks like the menus are displayed with the old theme-less style. It appears to be only a visual issue, nothing I can do about it without writing my own menus.

Is there any way to have a 3rd column for the dropdown bookmarks menu? I'm running out of room...

Also, I would like to create sub folders in the bo0okmarks menu but a lot of my bookmarks have a slash in them and it's creating unwanted sub folders.

Thanks..

I've added the ini option: menu_folder_separator to customize the folder separator character.
Please try changing the folder separator character to: /

• In Everything 809b or later, type in the following search and press Enter:
  /menu_folder_separator=/
• use a / in your filters and bookmarks name to put them in folders.

Sorry it's not the best solution, hopefully it will do for now..

Thank you...I'll give it a try. Not madly keen on sub menus but it's a solution...

Would a 3rd column be impractical?

[void]

Adjust the menu_items_per_column for a 3rd column:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /menu_items_per_column=30

You may have to increase or decrease 30 to your liking.
