Feature request: Support the full set of Everything (Voidtools) properties/columns — including 1.5a additions #3
Description
Hello and thank you for your outstanding work on this truly helpful project!
Would it be possible to add support for the full set of properties/columns that the Everything desktop application provides? Currently, as far as I know, only four fields are returned:
- name
- path
- date_modified
- size
It would be incredibly useful to achieve broader parity with Everything’s property columns, including those introduced in the 1.5a releases. For example, metadata properties and media/image details (such as dimensions, duration, and bitrate) would allow for more effective filtering, sorting, and advanced workflows.
Suggestions and considerations:
- Since data can be fetched as JSON, it may be practical to initially provide these properties for JSON retrieval, then address display issues in HTML.
- Ideally, allow users to select which properties to index and/or return, to balance performance and functionality.
- Document which properties are supported and note any platform-specific limitations.
- If full parity is not immediately feasible, a phased approach starting with the most commonly used properties would still be highly valuable.
Benefits:
- Achieves closer parity with Everything desktop behavior.
- Enables richer search, filtering, and automation scenarios.
- Reduces the need for workarounds or post-processing to retrieve additional metadata.
Thank you again for your great work and for considering this request! If there’s any additional detail or testing I can help with, I’d be happy to assist.
