Scanning a Folder on a Network Drive

[snowwhale]

Hi There,

I am having a lot of Trouble indexing a Folder on a Network Drive.
I installed Everything Version 1.4.1.1009 (x64) and was able to index the C: Drive with no issues.
I then added a folder on a Network Drive (which I have access to) and it started to Scan.

However its been scanning for hours on end with no conclusion. Also anytime I try to do anything in Everything it will crash.

Any ideas or help are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

There might be a folder with a circular reference?

To view scanning progress:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /debug
• This will show the debug console.
• Type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /verbose
• The current folder being scanned is shown in Green text.
• Is Everything getting stuck on a specific folder? Is Everything just slow?

If indexing a network drive in Everything is slow, please make sure folder_update_thread_mode_background is disabled:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /folder_update_thread_mode_background=0
• If successful, folder_update_thread_mode_background=0 is shown in the statusbar for a few seconds.

Also anytime I try to do anything in Everything it will crash.

Could you please send a mini crash dump to support@voidtools.com

Please try the Everything 1.5 alpha, stability should be improved and scanning progress is shown in the UI under Tools -> Options -> Folders.

Hi There,

I followed instructions below and its now working which is great.
I think it was just the sheer size of the Server that took so long.
But using the Debug Console was good as I could see it was moving and not stuck.

Thanks for the help
