I can't find anything on some folders

[abcdefghijk]

I use everything everyday, it is a wonderfoul program and I really satisfied with it,
but is months that every 2.. 3.. days I need to delete everything .DB file and rebuild it.
What's happens: everything can't search any file in a folder (and I suppose only in this one
"C:\Documents and Settings\Alb\My Documents\My Dropbox\...") and when I rebuild
.DB file everything works fine again.

I try to perform a scandisk (as I read somewhere in the forum) but no error found.
My problem is in 2 PC, both with WXP upgraded in italian language.

Some ideas???

thank's in advance, Alberto

..I suppose that the problem is in "C:\Documents and Settings\Alb\My Documents\" folder, probably "\My Documents\" is not written in the right way, could it be?

Am I correct to say "Everything" is not detecting new changes?

Does "Everything" find the folder:

Code: Select all

"C:\Documents and Settings\Alb\My Documents\"

?

Are there any errors reported in your errorlog.txt file?

Wonder if "My Dropbox" isn't some quasi-virtual folder.
That "files" only exist there at certain times (perhaps till they are sync'd to an Internet location)?

"My Dropbox" folder

I just ran into this same problem. Never happened to me before. I couldn't search for anything in my Dropbox folder. As you mention, once I rebuilt the database, I was able to do so again.

No Therube, I think that "My Dropbox" is a real folder, folder that is continuously synced between my Pc's.
And I have this problem every.. mmh.. every week or two weeks and actually I can't understand the reason!
Is two days that I rebuilt the database and I have no problem

No Void, I'm sure: sometimes Everything can't find ANY files in that folder ("C:\Documents and Settings\Alb\My Documents\" or "C:\Documents and Settings\Alb\My Documents\My Dropbox\").

this is in my errorlog.txt:

I write as soon as I'll experience again the problem and I hope to be more accurate with the explanation
Tomorrow? I hope!

[abcdefghijk]

Here come tomorrow!
today I'm in a different PC (WXP italian) and I have the problem: can't find SOME file in:

Code: Select all

"C:\Documents and Settings\Alberto.TD\Documenti\"

I link some screenshot regarding "what I search with Everithing" and "what I find"..

I hope it will be clear..

"My Dropbox" folder

Therube, I suppose that you hit the target.. today I download a portable software to zip/unzip files, I extract it to
"c:\programmi\this_software\" but Everything can't find any file into this folder!

I suppose you're right because when I use this software (I zip/rar some files) it will create these zipped files on a virtual(?) folder.

Sorry, I'm not shod with this type of files (virtual or how_are_they_called)
Saturday I will link something more.

[abcdefghijk]

I don't know what else I can show you.. MUMBLE..
: (
same problem in "C:\Documents and Settings\Alberto.TD\Documenti" folder as I show you with my screenshots.
Today I rebuild .DB file again.

Any ideas are welcome!

Does the current alpha version correctly maintain this folder?

Is months that I'm using the new version (Version 1.2.1.451a) and day by day I'm checking for a new improved version
: )))
Yes void, if you need to understand something better I can test an older (stable?) version

I am also running to more and more instances of files not found when I know they are there. It ran for a long time with no problems. This seems to be a recent development. I can navigate to them using explorer (but it is SO much easier with Everything).

I am using 451a. I will check the error logs and see if that lends a clue.

[therube]

What files are not being seen for you?
Everything will not see (what was it), (hard|symbolic) "links".
