Can I plug off the drive before "Indexing properties" is finished?

Post by Biff »

"Indexing properties" appears to last much longer than the normal indexing. Can I plug off the drive before they are indexed (the result windos already shows the files) are the properties already stored in the database and not yet shown in the result window?)? So when the green bar is displayed still?

If the volume goes offline, Everything will treat the properties as not found.

Everything currently does not regather these properties when the volume comes back online.
This is on my TODO list.

For the best results, please keep your volumes online until indexing properties completes.
