All folders refreshing when adding another.

Post by deepdvd »

First of all, I LOVE the new folder and file list options!

I have Everything (version 1.3.0.631b) update 8 network folder locations which includes 983,612 objects. Is there any way to make it so it doesn't have to update ALL folders when just adding one? I would consider it almost a bug because it doesn't say it's going to update them all when I click OK.

I imagine this is possible because there is an "Update Now" button which will only update the folder you highlight. All that would need to be done is compare the previous list with the one being modified and only update the folders that have changed.
As you can imagine, it takes a lot of time to update that many files. Thoughts?

Thanks for the suggestion.

This is definitely possible, but requires a lot of time to implement.
It is on my "Things to do" list.

Adding and removing a folder to the "Everything" database is not as simple as it seems.
There is a lot of house keeping and table rebuilding to do when adding and removing "root" folders.
