Cannot find installer files

Post by mmtmusic »

Hello!

Firstly, thank you for building an amazing tool. Its one of the most useful apps I have on my systems.

The issue I'm facing at the moment is that it doesn't seem to be finding installers (*.exe) that are sat on external drives.

Here are the search results vs the location where "HX Edit Installer" actually is. Indeed, Everything can find other files I search for that are on the F drive.

Any help in rectifying this would be gratefully received.

I take it that nothing on F: is found at all?

Depending on how F: is formatted, & how it is recognized (fixed or removable), you may need to manually add the F: drive to your index.

Tools | Options | Indexes, then FAT / NTFS ... as appropriate.

It was a simple fix! I "unsaw" the drive, and readded it. Lovely, thank you.
