Have excluded file type files still contribute to folder size in everything

Post by JTCGiants56 »

In everything, I have *.jpg files excluded since they can quickly clog up a search. That's working fine.

My issue is that these excluded files do not contribute to the to the folder size they live in in everything.

So I could have a 50gb folder with all pictures, but it would still show as 0kb in everything.

I know this is likely how it's supposed to work, but is there anyway around this behavior without un-excluding *.jpgs?

Thank you

Include jpg files in your index and instead use omit results to hide jpgs from your results:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Exclude tab on the left.
  • Remove *.jpg from your exclude files filter.
  • From the Index menu, check Enable result omissions.
  • From the Index menu, check Add Omit Result Filter....
  • Check Omit files.
  • Set the filter to: *.jpg
  • Click OK.

Omit Results

With Everything 1.4, Include jpg files in your index and instead use a filter to exclude jpgs from your results:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Exclude tab on the left.
  • Remove *.jpg from your exclude files filter.
  • From the Search menu, click Add to filters.....
  • Change the Name to: No jpgs
  • Change the Search to: !*.jpg
  • Click OK.
Activate your No jpgs filter.
Filters can be activated from the Search menu, Filter bar (View -> Filters), right clicking the status bar, filter macro or filter keyboard shortcut.
