Indexing properties of cloud files - Bug?

[kuergee]

Hello altogether, I run Everything Version 1.5.0.1356a (x64) on a Windows 11 system, latest updates there.

On my D: partition, there is only one folder called "OneDrive" which is a mirror (I guess) of the Microsoft cloud. All files are also (and all the time) on the harddisk. But indexing width and height of the picture files here won't come to an end. Even after over 100 hours continuous "working" I don't get more than 48% of ALL files indexed. Finally I excluded the D: partition from indexing, and soon the list was complete with aforementioned exceptions.

Now is it still a Alpha version bug or no bug at all and cloud mirrors are not indexed in that way. By the way, the files themselves can all be found in a search.

Everything will need to download all your images from the cloud to gather the dimensions.



I recommend indexing properties from local files only.

To index local files only:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Properties tab on the left.
• For each property:
  • Check Exclude recall on data access.
• Click OK.

Thank you for these informations. I did as you told me, but unfortunately it does'nt change anything. Maybe MS Onedrive is something special? In my case, it isn't actually (only) a cloud, as I have ALL files and folders there kept under the "always keep on this device" setting. No idea, if this changes anything, though.

Thanks, anyway.

Is there a particular file Everything is getting stuck on?

The current file being indexed is shown under Tools -> Options -> Properties (shown at the top right).

Does this slowly change or is it stuck on one file?

As long as I watched it is changing all the time. But there are about a million picture files and lots of others, too.

Is Everything downloading any files from the cloud?



It will take a very long time to index width and height from 1million+ images.

Some considerations:

Please try the built-in Everything property handler instead of the system property handler:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  system
• Select property_system.
• Set the value to: false
• Click OK.

The Everything property handler will only read the header of common file types.
The down side is it may not work for some image types.



Store your images on an NVMe SSD.
Everything will max out the read performance on NVMe SSDs. (Typically 3000MB/s+)

Thanks for all the advice, but for now I've given up!
