Offline Files

I have Everything running as a service, and it discovers all of my offline files (C:\Windows\CSC\v2.0.6\namespace\[UncPathToFile]), which is great!
Unfortunately, my user account doesn't have permission to access these files directly, so I have to note their location and then manually open them.
It would be great if Everything could understand Offline Files folder structure, and open the files from the network location; or let me configure some sort of mapping table manually for this purpose.

Added to my TODO list, thanks for the suggestion.

I just want to second this request. Being able to not only find but access offline files would be the single most useful improvement to this wonderful software.

I ran across another topic which shows how to do this.
If anyone else is trying to automatically map offline files for a few mapped drives then you can follow the "Allow custom remapping of file paths" instructions at
viewtopic.php?t=5933#p17001. So, for my case where I had parts of a "Home" H: drive and a "Projects" P: drive pinned, my Everything.ini additions/changes (
highlighted) were:-
auto_remove_offline_ntfs_volumes=
0
ntfs_volume_guids="\\\\?\\Volume{C DRIVE GUID}"
,"\\\\?\\Volume{C DRIVE GUID}","\\\\?\\Volume{C DRIVE GUID}"
ntfs_volume_paths="C:"
,"H:\\","P:\\"
ntfs_volume_roots=""
,"Windows\\CSC\\v2.0.6\\namespace\\{H DRIVE ROOT UNC PATH}","Windows\\CSC\\v2.0.6\\namespace\\{P DRIVE ROOT UNC PATH}"
ntfs_volume_includes=1
,1,1
ntfs_volume_load_recent_changes=0
,0,0
ntfs_volume_include_onlys=""
,"",""
ntfs_volume_monitors=1
,1,1
exclude_folders=
"c:\\Windows\\CSC\\v2.0.6\\namespace\\{H DRIVE ROOT UNC PATH}","c:\\Windows\\CSC\\v2.0.6\\namespace\\{P DRIVE ROOT UNC PATH}"
Works great!
