index only current location

[cooolboy]

I have portable Everything in the external drive E:\MyData\
E:\Mydata\
E:\Mydata\folder1\
E:\Mydata\folder2\
E:\Mydata\folder3\
E:\Mydata\folder4\
E:\MyData\Everything.exe
E:\MyData\Everything.ini
E:\MyData\Everything.db

As it is external drive, the drive letter keeps changing.

my current ini file is as below:

; Please make sure Everything is not running before modifying this file.
[Everything]
run_as_admin=0
run_in_background=0
show_in_taskbar=1
show_tray_icon=0
minimize_to_tray=0
check_for_updates_on_startup=0
instance_name=TEST
auto_include_fixed_volumes=0
auto_include_removable_volumes=0
auto_include_fixed_refs_volumes=0
auto_include_removable_refs_volumes=0
folders="\\"

but it is not indexing at all. please help configure ini file to index the current folder location only.

The following Everything.ini is working for me with the latest version of Everything:

Code: Select all

auto_include_fixed_volumes=0
auto_include_fixed_refs_volumes=0
folders=\

Is there anything shown in the status bar when you launch Everything? -Indexing will take several minutes.

Is the \ folder listed under Tools -> Options -> Folders?

the drive letter keeps changing

(Specifically) set it to a higher drive letter.
Depending on circumstances, may persist (essentially).

Or something like, USBDLM - USB Drive Letter Manager for Windows.

Folder=\

indexes the whole drive i.e E:\

but I want it to scan only E:\MyData\

Yes it is showing "\" in Tools -> Options -> Folders

[therube]

Is E: NTFS?

Anyhow, Tools | Options | Indexes -> Folders -> Add ---> E:\Mydata\

[cooolboy]

Is E: NTFS?

Yes

but I want it to be dynamic so I change the Folder name E:\MyData\ to say E:\Data\, it should still work within the folder

Please try changing the folder path to:

Code: Select all

auto_include_fixed_volumes=0
auto_include_fixed_refs_volumes=0
folders=\mydata
