I don't really know how to word this properly, but a little backstory to better get at what I'm searching for.
One of my drives (probably) died a couple of days ago and I'm wondering if there's a list I can get with the indexed files for the particular drive? I'm gonna send it to see if the data can be saved, but in the instance it can't, I'd like to know if I can see what was on it through Everythings index-ing if it hasn't been wiped when I disconnected it.
How can I access the list of indexed files?
Re: How can I access the list of indexed files?
Start by making a copy of your Everything.db:
When done, close this session (Menu:File > Exit)
- Keep Everything running; don't close it as that may overwrite/delete data in the database.
- In File Explorer's address bar, type or paste the following and press ENTER:
Code: Select all
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Everything
- If there is no Everything.db in this folder, browse to the program folder of Everything.
- Copy Everything.db to a save location.
- Copy Everything.exe to the folder where you just put a copy of Everything.db
- In File Explorer, browse to this folder
- In File Explorer's address bar, type or paste the following and press ENTER:
Code: Select all
cmd.exe
- In the Command Prompt, type or paste the following and press ENTER:
Code: Select all
Everything.exe -instance ReadOnly -db Everything.db -readonly
- You can now inspect content of your drive and/or export them to a textfile (Menu:File > Export)
When done, close this session (Menu:File > Exit)

Okay, I'm seeing the drive there. Is there an option to export only that drive, because I have several other drives?
Edit: The exported files are also over 350mgb as well.

Yes, sure. Type in the search bar to limit the results to drive X:
