Partial property indexing

Post by sk2107 »

Hi,

I wonder if there is a way to do Partial property indexing.

the case that I have millions of files in my infrastructure storages which running perfectly for file search, but as the property indexing takes a long time (which is fair), sometime I need to create a temporary index for a group of files urgently for the properties MD5,width,height and length without affecting or interrupting the main process of indexing.

with lots of thanks

What about firing up a new instance with no property indexing.

For example:
Everything.exe -instance "No Property Indexing"

Add your MD5, width, height and length columns which would gather the properties from disk.



There is a from-disk: search modifier which will allow you to search for properties from disk, bypassing your property index.

For example:
c:\downloads\ *.jpg fromdisk:width:640

However, this doesn't help you if you need to view the properties.

If you are looking to import settings, filters, bookmarks, run history and search history from different instances, please see:
