Tree view available?

[Biff]

Is there a tree view available (e.g. on the left side) that shows the folders / files similar to e.g. Win Explorer? Especially for managing / cataloging my (external) drives / hard disks I would use it in connection to the "index folders" option.

[therube]

No.
Not sure if its on any "to do" list?

[salazor]

Try HDDB he supports the tree view, unfortunately, the official site is off, but Google will certainly find.

[Biff]

Alright, thank you.

Yes, I know, but unfortunately Hddb does not work for me.

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

And why HDDB for you does not work, what errors show up? - Maybe you have not such a version.

The external drive W: obviously is scanned but not shown in the search window, I do not have any idea, why:

The log:

HDDB which version you have?
What is the file system on the drive W?

Are you sure you provided a good log? because it is mentioned on the disk S - and the list of drives can not see such a disk. Try to delete all the files in the folder .hddb and build a database again - maybe this will help.

Many thankssalazor.

I have the newest version of Hddb.

NTFS on all the drives.

Are you sure you provided a good log?

Sorry, no, I have any idea of logs, it is the one created by Hddb.

because it is mentioned on the disk S - and the list of drives can not see such a disk

It is the same with S:, S: is not shown in Hddb as well and other drives.

There once was a tool bar / menu in those areas, but it is gone since I switched to the basic Windows color scheme: http://i.imgur.com/zAR1ikD.png

Try to delete all the files in the folder .hddb and build a database again - maybe this will help.

Done, it stays the same unfortunately.

Many thanks again.

Open notebook HDDB log in and find info about the disk W: - paste here (or the whole log).

Show what displays NTFSInfo tool about the disk W:.

You wrote an email to the developer HDDB?

[Biff]

Open notebook HDDB log in and find info about the disk W: - paste here (or the whole log).

Sorry, I am not quite sure to understand correctly. I have posted the entire log (hddb.build.log) created by Hddb here already.

Here is the content of hddb.gui.log:

--------------- gui crashed ---------------
-- hddb info --
Hddb version: 4.4.0, 32 bit
Hddb home: I:\Programme\HDDB\Datenbanken\
Portable: N
-- Search info --
Last search: A:\---- ent\

Show what displays NTFSInfo tool about the disk W:.

Alright, I will to at next occasion.

I have just tried Hddb on another Notebook, the same behavior, not shown any external drive, not V:, Y:, etc. All NTFS formated.

You wrote an email to the developer HDDB?

Yes, I did, no answer. I assume, the development is discontinued, the Hddb website is not available anymore obviously.

Many thanks.

When I double click the exe files nothing appears to happen. I have any idea how to use it.

This program is a console (command line)
Place the .exe in Windows or System32 folder or specify the full path to the file where it ntfsinfo.exe now you have - then open cmd (Start - Run ..., type cmd Enter) paste command

Code: Select all

ntfsinfo w:

and show what is displayed here.

Here is a log of the folder you told me to delete (the content of hddb.build.log):

"I:\Programme\HDDB\hddb.exe" build --dbdir "C:\Users\Endo\.hddb\\" --delegate

Here, a similar problem - there is no solution, but it is worth reading may just have you.

[Biff]

and show what is displayed here.

W: ist not avaialable at the moment, but it is the same with all of the external drives,
for example V::

and D::

Thank you for the link.

See yet program NTFS-search how to behave on external devices and let me know - parsing drive is used with this program in HDDB.

[Biff]

It shows for some external drives (all of them have NTFS system), e.g. V:, something like "No NTFS drive" when trying to load them but in the drop down menu it shows "V: (NTFS)". And NTFS-Search crashes all the time.

So I thought a bug in the code, I have the same disk C: only with me an access violation - unfortunately they did not fix it, you need a programmer who will eliminate the error in the code.

Regards.

[Biff]

I am not quite sure to understand it correctly, but obviously the programs appear to be a bit trashy.

Many thanks for letting me try those programs.
