Using 1.4.0.703b on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit SP1, on a machine with 8gb ram, 18 attached drives, 1.1 million names.
I am consistently seeing Everything stop responding when I have a large, long running, single file transfer (gigabytes) taking place between drives. Even getting to the File -> exit menu item hangs. Only when the transfer completes or is stopped does Everything respond again. I am doing the file transfer with a separate program, XYplorer.
This problem so seriously disrupts my work flow with the content on these drives that I will have to roll back to 1.3.4.686 temporarily to get things done. If this is not a known problem and there are further things I can do to help debug the problem, please advise.

I suspect Everything is getting hammered with USN Journal changes...
Could you please send me some verbose debug output when transferring a large file.
Verbose debug mode can be enabled by running Everything with the -debug and -verbose command line options:

UPDATE: Using 1.4.0.705b, I have verified that the unresponsiveness during file transfer is NOT there, but only if none of the extra indexing options (size, date modified, etc.) are checked. So it seems to be a side-effect of the extra indexing changes.

I may be noticing similar, when I pruned a directory tree of 743 (topmost) empty directories or otherwise deleting a large number of files (like Mozilla /cache/ directories).
).
Something along those lines was my thought also (but I looked as a less technical way: too many deletions in too quick a time & Everything wasn't keeping upI suspect Everything is getting hammered with USN Journal changes...

This was not the case, the issue is with trying to update the indexed size and date information while the transfer is occurring.I suspect Everything is getting hammered with USN Journal changes...
The issue is more relevant to USB drives.
I have a fix in mind, needs further testing though..
