Exporting doesn't fill all fields for all files

Post by RufusVS »

After doing a search, and I export the list to a file, I noticed the entries that were not on
the main page were missing some fields, like size, date.

I tried quickly paging to the end and exporting, but only one entry per "page" had those fields filled.

The only way to get all the data was to slowly scroll through the list, and make sure the
fields filled visually. When you finally slow-scroll through the entire list to the bottom,
then all the fields are filled.

When exporting a search, it really should fill all fields first. At least there needs to be
a better way to fill all fields than scrolling the entire list.

I think I saw something about "Get Extended Info" - I guess I have to do that first? If
so, I think that should be automatic on an export.

Thanks.

Sounds like its only accessing that particular data on actual access of the file(s) or the files(s) being brought into view.

So guessing you are not using 1.4beta.

1.4beta allows you to (optionally) index size & date.
Even so, not sure offhand if indexed, if that data makes its way into the .csv, but you could try & see what happens?
