Metadata is not updating automatically

[jacbian]

I hearded from https://superuser.com/questions/615211 ... o-re-index that

Everything listens to the NTFS metadata change and so there is no neeed for a rebuild to get changes shown in the search

and from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32 ... s-metadata that there are multiple metadata file.

The problem I met is that
1. when edit the metadata (via file properties dialog > details), e.g. Comment (System.Comment), the comment column of the results doesn't update right away. Sometimes it updates, but more often it does not (quite strange, it updates again when I edit the post ten minutes later).
2. Tried check "index recent changes" but without effect.
2. Tried "Force Rebuild" button, it works as it update all files, but too slow.

Any idea to speed up the indexing of recent metadata changes?
I have tried to modify the access time of the pdf by using FileSetTime (provided by AutoHotkey), but unfortunately this file is opened in my PDF editor, so FileSetTime will fail. Currently I can only wait till I close the file in the PDF editor, the search result will update then.

What version of Everything are you using?

Recently versions will now use the Windows Property System over the Everything property system.
-This might make a difference to what property values are read.

property_system
property_builtin_handler



Everything will re-read the comment property after the file is modified and when all file handles to the file are closed.

Are you showing the preview pane in Everything? are you showing thumbnails?
-Maybe these are holding onto a file handle.
