Indexing network server

Post by fc622000 »

I would like to include in the idexing list (Tools\Options\Indexes\Folders) an IP address of a network server without specified each single folder that the server contain.
More specifically, we have a server with an IP address (Example \\999.999.99.99\). This server contain several folders.
I would like to indexing all folders and files included without specified each single folder address but I receive an error when a try to type only the server IP address. Is it possible?

It's difficult to do with Everything 1.4.

You will need to specify each share (specifying only the server \\999.999.99.99\ will not work in Everything 1.4)

To quickly add many folders to your folder indexes:
  • Completely exit Everything (right click the Everything system tray icon and click Exit)
  • Open your %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini
  • Find the following line:
    folders="c:\\my folder","d:\\my other folder"
  • and add to the end:
    folders="c:\\my folder","d:\\my other folder","\\\\999.999.99.99\\share1","\\\\999.999.99.99\\share2","\\\\999.999.99.99\\share3","\\\\999.999.99.99\\share4","\\\\999.999.99.99\\share5","\\\\999.999.99.99\\share6","\\\\999.999.99.99\\share7","\\\\999.999.99.99\\share8","\\\\999.999.99.99\\share9..."
  • Save changes and restart Everything.
You will be able to drag drop folders to Tools -> Options -> Folders in Everything 1.5 (in development)
