Sorting by path, does not show files in parent or root drive.

[caliabb]

Good Day, (love your software, thx)
I've connected my external drive, call it "G\": to clean up some of my media files, etc

now if I click on Name field, it will sort by name, all good..

if I click on Size field, it will sort high size to low size, I can see all my files, great!

here is the kicker, if I sort by PATH , it shows ONLY folder names in my G: , but it is NOT displaying files I know I have sitting there in its root directory.

(when I sort by name, it is there, but path no longer sorted)

if I search for the filename, it appears, and showing path G:

my purpose for the exericse this morning was to create folders etc, and move things away from the parent G: but alas some of the files are not showing up when I sort by path...

is this a bug, or intentional? how can I work around this?
I'm using ver. Version 1.4.1.1022 (x64)

much thanks,

sorry still not solved, but if I change search menu from 'everything' to 'video' , then I can see the select .mkv files suddenly appear in path G:\

I would/should like to see them with the default choice as 'everything'

When sorting by path, the folders are on top and files are at the bottom.
I suspect that when scrolling to the bottom, you will see your files.
To see only files in the resultlist, use the following search:

Code: Select all

G:\   file:

Everything 1.5 has an option to mix files and folders when sorting.

thank you, simply entering as search - G:\ file:
it now shows all files as I sort by path, starting with simply root G:\, then sorted by folder path names

note: I realize prior that it showed folders first, and files after, but it still did not show the files in root G:\

To make sure: Mystery solved and now it does show the files in the root of G:\ ?

[caliabb]

yes, but only "G:\ file:" (when sorted by path)

"G:\" (default exploration) will NOT show the root files (when sorted by path)

I can accept inputting G:\ file:

thank you

[caliabb]

furthermore, thank you for your discovery to alpha version 1.5.0.1340a (x64)

the below is all I had to do

to mix files and folders:
In Everything, from the View menu, under the Sort By submenu, check Mix files and folders.


now simply "g:\" shows everything , and whilst sorted by path. as was my wish from initial post

[caliabb]

also , what functions well is ==> parent:g: , this shows folders first, followed by any files in root g:
(imo, I would suggest to fix default search "g:\" to include files inside root/parent directory automatically)

It would surprise me if those files would not be somewhere in the list already.
What happens when you search for G:\ and a part of one of teh filenames in the root?

Example for C:-drive:

C:\ pagefile

should report pagefile.sys.

[caliabb]

" C:\ pagef " should report pagefile.sys. ==> yes it does.

" C:\ " (while sorted by path) ==> yes , I see c:\ root individual files. (pagefile.sys and others are showing)

but this exercise did not show my files in g:\ root (external USB drive) , yesterday.

thanks.

I guess your external USB drive is not NTFS formatted
and you didn't configure folder indexing for it.
So there will be no entries for it in the index.
