Yes, the Everything results list is like a cached search from XY's POV. All file metadata has to be retrieved one by one. Whereas in a file system scan the metadata comes very fast in big chunks.
Theoretically, of course, XY could cache ALL metadata. It would be a bit memory hungry if you have many tabs, and it would get stale over time, but it would be insanely fast.

I now came up with the following user button as a work-around for a Branch View with lots of files:
Code: Select all
Snip: CTB 1
XYplorer 26.20.0101, 05.07.2024 12:25:15
Action
NewUserButton
Name
Banch View in new window
Icon
:flatview*#7FDBFF,r
ScriptL
#182;
run """<xy>"" /readonly /new /script=""::tab('closeothers');#311;""", , 0, 0;
ScriptR
ScriptM
FireClick
0
How to use:
- Copy the code.
- Make new user button.
- In the Edit User Button dialog right-click on the "Clear" button.
- Choose "Paste Snippet".
- Click "OK".
- Click on the new user button.
The new button does the following:
- It saves the current settings
- It opens a new XY read-only instance (with the current settings)
- It closes all other tabs (besides the current one) in that new instance
- It starts a Branch View in that new instance

If you use Session Manager
viewtopic.php?t=8691 then you can choose your own session title and have it also displayed in the title bar.
