force rebuild properties to be manual only

Post by sk2107 »

Hi,

I waited sometime to complete the properties indexing of a big number of files but after it was almost completed; it started again from the beginning, so what settings should I apply to avoid this?

Best regards

Force rebuild will clear your indexed properties.

Changing which properties are indexed can also trigger a full property reindex.



To avoid property reindexing, please don't change any settings under Tools -> Options -> Indexes.



Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
    (if unchecked Everything might be unable to save your index to disk)
  • Uncheck Run as administrator.
  • Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
  • Click OK.
  • Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
  • Restart Everything.
