Of course filters are supported in the GUI. I was talking about what you were trying to accomplish:
filter macros are not supported through ES.exe or by using the Everything SDK when using version 1.4.

These doc: macros et. al. are not supported in Everything 1.4. As @Horst mentioned, they are in Everything 1.5. For 1.4, you will need to 'convert' the macro to its value. In case of doc: that is ext:c;chm;cpp;csv;cxx;doc;docm;docx;dot;dotm;dotx;h;hpp;htm;html;hxx;ini;java;lua;mht;mhtml;odt;pdf;potx...

Nice! Can you send me your code? That will save me some time :-)

(preferably through the Everything forum as I visit that one more frequently)

Are you sure? I think you are mixing up all your file managers (so do I btw, so I might be wrong here ..)

I haven't written any code for XY yet. At least not for JumpToFolder. QuickSwitch has code for XY.

How do you start it? Button? Keyboard shortcut?

No problem. You are just trying to help. Really appreciated! Yes, I'm aware of these other regkeys. Thanks for the suggestion! A bit of background (no pun intended) why I ask: I wrote a little script that makes use of this context menu. It is to be used in file managers and file dialogs. It switches...

Thanks! Unfortunately, that does exactly that: Pop up folder's context menu". It is the context menu that is shown when you right-click a folder. That is different from the folder's background context menu. For reference, a folder's context menu (in File Explorer): 2022-02-20 20_41_07-C__test_X...

Good point!
In the meantime I downloaded and installed XYplorer - that's why I didn't test - and it turns out I even misunderstood the question itself!
Sorry for wasting everyone's time ...

When right-clicking an empty part of a listview in File Explorer, I see the following entries: 2022-02-20 19_37_02-Task Manager.png In XYplorer, I see this (64- as well as 32-bit context menu): 2022-02-20 19_38_59-.png Why aren't these TEST_ context-menu entries shown in XYplorer? (mostly out-of-the...

Usually a triple-click instead of the double-click should select the entire line too.
(untested)

Not tested ..

I guess the program you use to preview mp4 files does not respect the metadata that was added to your mp4.

You can use exiftool to show all the saved metadata for that file.
It will show a line Rotation = 180 (or similar; as said: not tested)

I know

A free alternative: delphi preview handler

+ 60+ supported source code file extensions
+ dark mode with themes!
+ search inside preview

- starts slow
- last update ~ 5 years ago

I think it is available as 32-bit software, to match XYplorer's 32-bitness

Explorer will mark folders that contain pictures as such (in it's out of the box configuration) Not here. 20H2, with no configuration change at all (fresh install in a VM). Copying 3 .png files into e.g. "C:\Temp" doesn't create a desktop.ini in it (even after navigating out and in again)...

Another approach: Explorer will mark folders that contain pictures as such (in it's out of the box configuration). [1] After that, it is just checking that folder's Desktop.ini and see if it contains [ViewState] FolderType=Pictures Even less to worry about :) [1] That can be changed manually too: pr...

and short names are mostly used by 16-bit applications so that doesn't apply any more? Explorer (shell) still uses it on occasion as a fallback for drag 'n drop of long paths/filenames (> 259 characters). It replaces the long filenames with the 8.3 one. IIRC, it is also used for shell extensions ('...
