Entering several drive letters at once

[harryray2]

Rather than enter drive letters individually in, for example, options>properties>exclude folders, is it possible to enter a range from E to g and J to Z?

Currently I'm entering them as E:;F:;G:;I:; etc.

Not that I'm aware.
Though you could fake it, by setting the value of

exclude_folders=

in Everything.ini.

exclude_folders=C:\,K:\,G:\

(That could be done with Everything closed, or via about:config, which would cause Everything to restart on accepting the change.)

Thanks, the problem is I think that would do it (if it works) globally...

It seems that it's possible (at least in EV 1.5), eg:

Tools->Options->Exclude->Enable exclude list, Add filter

Thanks ovg, I tried it in temporary excludes and it appears to work..I'm hoping it will work in properties as well.

Do you know if there's also a way of allowing C and I but disallowing other drives? If there isn't I'll have to make 3 entries?
If there isn't it's still a lot less than the 20 odd entries I would have had to make.

I also tried it in the search box but it doesn't seem to work there.

Regex question..I assume the : means not the preceding characters? I'm assuming capitalisation doesn't make a difference?

Try regex:[^ic]:

That seems to work as well, again though, doesn't work in the search box for some reason.

I'm afraid regex makes my head spin
