Exclude subst mapped drives

[ynut]

Hi

I need to use subst to map similar drives across my systems so something like N: drive will be mapped as D: to comply with other computers on the network. 1.4 does not index these which I really like but 1.5 seems to index these which makes results of double, given all the files on N: also listed as separate files from D:

thanks

Everything 1.4 should index subst volumes.

Everything 1.5 might be automatically indexing your subst volumes.


Please try excluding your N: drive from your index:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the NTFS tab on the left.
• Select N:
• Uncheck Include in database.
• Click OK.

Thanks, that works.

It is weird but 1.4 does not even list subst drive in the NTFS section, so it seems to comply with the original idea. That is why it does not seem to index them.

Maybe Everything 1.4 is running as an admin?

Everything will be unable to see your subst volumes when running as an admin.

Please try running Everything as a standard user:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab on the left.
• Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything
• Uncheck Run as administrator.
• Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
• Click OK.
• Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
• Restart Everything.

Everything 1.4 does have some limitations with subst volumes redirecting to other subst volumes. Is your D: also a subst volume?

You may need to manually add the subst N: drive to your index:

• Complete exit Everything (From the File menu, click Exit)
• Open your Everything.ini in %APPDATA%\Everything
• Change the following lines:
  ntfs_volume_guids="\\\\?\\Volume{C-DRIVE-VOLUME-GUID}","\\\\?\\Volume{D-DRIVE-VOLUME-GUID}"
  ntfs_volume_paths="C:","D:"
  to:
  ntfs_volume_guids="\\\\?\\Volume{C-DRIVE-VOLUME-GUID}","\\\\?\\Volume{D-DRIVE-VOLUME-GUID}","\\\\?\\Volume{D-DRIVE-VOLUME-GUID}"
  ntfs_volume_paths="C:","D:","N:"
• Save changes and restart Everything.

Everything will be unable to see your subst volumes when running as an admin.

I see, this makes sense. I am running it as administrator. I will take a look at the ideas you listed.

Btw thanks for the 1.5 dark theme, great progress.
