Space remaining on disk

Post by WebWeaver64 »

I'm not sure if this is available somewhere or not; I did search for it. I've used Cathy for years with Search Everything. The only reason I'm still using Cathy is I can see how much space is left on a hot swapped drive without having to load it. Is this information somewhere I could view within Search Everything 1.5?

Thanks!

I have on my TODO list to keep track of volume information. (free disk space)
Thank you for the suggestion.



Everything will only keep indexed volume information between restarts.

Please consider indexing Free Disk Size:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
    Click the Properties tab on the left.
  • Click Add....
  • Search for: free
  • Select Free Disk Size and click OK.
  • Check Include folders.
  • Uncheck Include files.
  • Change Exclude folders to: **\**
    (This will make Everything only index free disk size for root folders)
  • Click OK.


To search for root folders, include the following in your search:
root:



indexing free disk size.
updating indexed free disk size.

On a side note


I seems that you keep giving [thorough different topics] e.g.

[*]In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the Properties tab on the left.
[...]
i.e.

Tools > Options > Properties

path instead of more precised

Tools > Options > Indexes > Properties


Is this intentional?

Yes, too many users were clicking the indexes tab and then looking on the indexes option page for properties.

Well, I am from the opposite aisle: I read you instructions and keep looking for the first level entries and not for nested ones

The above means I'll still be keeping Cathy :mrgreen:

However thanks for sharing how I can get the information.
