Feature Request: Allow the Opening of multiple file lists

Post by Ralf_Reddings »

Currently you can open a file list from File > Open File List... or at the command line:

Code: Select all

everything64 -filelist list1.csv
But you can only open a single file, and you cannot add another file list to a window that already has a file list opened.

It seems that when you open a file list, it is listed on the folder side bar as a "drive", it would be nice if we can:
  • Load multiple file lists, either by selecting multiple files from File > Open File List... or at the command line
  • add another file list to the most recent window, either from File > Open File List... or at the command line
  • remove a already loaded file list in the most recent window, either using the windows UI or at the command line
File lists are a really useful feature in Everything, these additional features would make it perfect, allowing one to build complex compilation of file lists.

I hope you will consider this feature, cheers.

Opening multiple file lists is on my TODO list.

Thank you for the suggestion.



For now, you can add multiple file lists to your index under Tools -> Options -> File lists.
