Folder path being treated as disk when no subfolder provided
Posted: Fri Feb 23, 2024 12:08 am
Everything 1.5a ..1367
Digging into the ini file to create custom settings upon install, when the [folders= ] is set to a volume letter without a subfolder, it gets treated like a disk instead of a custom folder path.
Example:
folders=%USERPROFILE%,E:\
Even though E: is specified with the "\" at the end, its treated like a disk drive as fails to scan as it shows as an "offline disk"
However, if I add another "\" (E:\\), it treats it like an actual folder path instead of a disk drive.
But what gets weirder is that after I exit, I go back into the .ini file and Everything has removed the first "\". But going back into everyhting, it still finds the path and treats it like a folder. Then if I exit AGAIN, it again removes the other "\" (at which point im left with "E:"), but it still finds the path each time it opens now.
So, if I add it as E: or E:\, its doesnt like that, but adding it as E:\\, it will treat it as an actual folder path but then also eventually remove both "\" from the ini path.
Any idea what could be causing this?
P.S. The folder path in question isnt a disk drive, nor is it a mapped drive, its a hybrid (special drives created to do this for the client used), which is why Everything cant do auto discovery on it
