How to preserve my indexes when editing the ini-file?

[zlm]

1.4 here. I successfully edited the ini-file but lost all my indexes. Since I will have to edit the ini-file several/many times / more or less "iteratively", I would like to know how to avoid the loss of my indexes then. Obviously, most of those concern "offline" HDDs, so re-doing them again and again would not be the solution. Btw, those HDDs / indexes are not listed in the ini-file, but they don't appear in the "Options - NTFS dialog" anymore. Perhaps, if I retrieve the index files, then there might be a way to "re-install" them into EV again?

The following ini settings manage your indexes:

Code: Select all

auto_include_fixed_volumes=
auto_include_removable_volumes=
auto_remove_offline_ntfs_volumes=
auto_remove_moved_ntfs_volumes=
auto_include_fixed_refs_volumes=
auto_include_removable_refs_volumes=
auto_remove_offline_refs_volumes=
auto_remove_moved_refs_volumes=
ntfs_volume_guids=
ntfs_volume_paths=
ntfs_volume_roots=
ntfs_volume_includes=
ntfs_volume_load_recent_changes=
ntfs_volume_include_onlys=
ntfs_volume_monitors=
refs_volume_guids=
refs_volume_paths=
refs_volume_roots=
refs_volume_includes=
refs_volume_load_recent_changes=
refs_volume_include_onlys=

exclude_hidden_files_and_folders=
exclude_system_files_and_folders=
include_only_files=
exclude_files=
db_location=
db_multi_user_filename=
db_compress=
index_size=
fast_size_sort=
index_date_created=
fast_date_created_sort=
index_date_modified=
fast_date_modified_sort=
index_date_accessed=
fast_date_accessed_sort=
index_attributes=
fast_attributes_sort=
index_folder_size=
fast_path_sort=
fast_extension_sort=

Any changes to these settings may cause Everything to perform a quick reindex.
