Weird Bug? with adding subst drives?

Post by rmm2022 »

So i have a bunch of virtual devices created with subst.

Code: Select all

O:\: => D:\Dropbox (Company)\
P:\: => D:\Dropbox (Company)\01 FOLDER 1
Q:\: => D:\Dropbox (Company)\02 FOLDER 2
R:\: => D:\Dropbox (Company)\03 FOLDER 3
All of them work except for the O:\

All the paths on the O:\ are prefixed with O:\Dropbox (Company)\File.txt where as they should be O:\File.txt (and in reality are in D:\Dropbox (Company)\File.txt)

If i manually go to explorer, or via commandline i can easily access the files and it all works. But for whatever reason this doesnt work.
I tried force rebuilding the database. removing and readding the drive. But same error.

I am using Everything 1.4.1.1022, Windows 11.

Any advice?

Are you indexing the O: drive under Tools -> Options -> NTFS or Tools -> Options -> Folders?

Could you please send some the debug output?
  • In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /debug
    ---this will show a debug console---
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the NTFS tab.
  • Press F5.
  • Right click the debug console window title bar and under the Edit menu, click Select All.
  • Right click the selected text in the debug console to copy it to the clipboard.
  • Could you please send this copied text to support@voidtools.com

Thank you for the logs rmm2022,

There's a trailing slash in your subst target.

Please try removing this trailing slash when mounting the drive.

Everything 1.5 will allow the trailing slash.
