This is currently by design.

Properties like filename-length, depth, stem, child-count, depth, index-volume-label etc... are not stored in the EFU file.
These values are gathered/calculated from the index.

Can I ask, why would you like the "index Volume Label" property exported?

Please consider the Volume Label property.

"Index volume label" is the volume label at the time of indexing.
"Index volume label" might be useful if the volume goes offline.
"Volume label" is the true volume label from the disk.

Please consider exporting as CSV if you need the index volume label information.



I have on my TODO list to add a way to label file lists.
For now, I recommend using the file list filename to label your lists.
(export multiple file lists with different filenames as required)

Hi,
Thank you for your reply and guidance.
I am looking for a solution to create an offline archive of the files of several partitions of an External HDD and save data of each HDD in an EFU file.
Therefore, it seems that better offline search can be done by saving "index Volume Label" in the EFU file.
Also, due to the problem in importing the csv file in Everything 1.5.0.1330a and the error in displaying information, this format cannot be used.

For Example:

Export Filename: HDD 01.EFU
Drive: F:;G:;H:
Volume F: Picture
Volume G: Music
Volume H: Video

Export Filename: HDD 02.EFU
Drive: F:;G:;H:;I:
Volume F: Projects
Volume G: Documents
Volume H: Backup 1
Volume I : Backup 2

Thank you for your reply designer,

Please try exporting each volume as a separate EFU file.

Please include your volume label in the EFU filename.

You can reference the EFU filename with the File List Filename property.



I will consider exporting the volume name in a future EFU file format.
