Increase number of results past 500

I know this has been asked several times but I cannot find a workign solution.

Has anyne ever managed to have more than 500 result displayed at a time, and / or has anyone ever been able to disable paging for results?

I've attached an image of the setting I believe should control this. It does nothing. I've changed it from 500 to 1000, 2000, 0 etc. and it always gives 500.

I've restarted the Vault, restarted my PC, I've tried registry settings to disable paging, I've tried everything.

There are times it would be really useful to change this to more than 500, for example, I currently need to quickly export certain metadata for approx 2000 documents. I would like to have all 2000 listed, right-click and export and get all the data.

But I have to export 4 times and then pull all 4 export files together into one because I cannot increase the 500 limit.

Very frustrating. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but it's doing my head in.

Thanks.

If the main goal is to export metadata a helpful trick is to make a view and group the view by ID segment. If you export from this grouping level you can get far more than any page limit included.

Please, try following registry setting, this is for the searches:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Motive\M-Files\[Version]\Client\MFShell\[VaultName]
Value name: ObjectsPerGroupInSearchResults
Value type: REG_DWORD (DWORD 32-bit Value)
Value data: 2000

and for the views, same path:

Value name: ObjectsPerGroupInViews
Value type: REG_DWORD (DWORD 32-bit Value)
Value data: 2000

To make the registry setting effective you need to do the following: search something or open the view, in results, press the right mouse button in the result area. From the drop-down menu select 'Restore Display Settings to Defaults ...'. In the opened dialog 'Restore Display Settings to Defaults' press either 'Reset to Common Defaults' or 'Restore to Program Defaults'.
