    How to add columns to the windows explorer "search" pane?


    So i needed to add "dimensions" and "frame width/frame height" to my file explorer windows by default.

    I accomplished this.

    It doesnt seem to apply when searching however. I opened the folder options and the option "apply" is greyed out.

    Is this simply not possible?

    :)
