Folder Size Incorrect, 2x actual
Directory size shows as exactly 2x actual size.
(Time differs by 1 hour, DST or something like that, I suppose. Not sure whether Everything is correct or my file manager, in that regard.)
Win7 x64
Everything 8.69b

Does a force rebuild fix the folder size, or does it still show 2x?

Actually every directory shows 2x its size.

Rebuild fixed it.

Rebuild fixed it.
Most likely a monitoring issue... I'm looking into it..
Actually every directory shows 2x its size.
Is it just the c:\wlib\mozilla\users folder? or every single folder indexed?

On XP at the moment. Everything 8.67b.
Here, everything I'm looking at looks OK.
Win7 I'll try to check this evening (or tomorrow).
(But since I've done the Rebuild... ?)
(As far as the 1-hour time diff, that is also here on XP, & I believe the 1-hour diff will only apply on times < midnight, or maybe its on times > noon... thinking the latter. And that might change once times change again?)
(Didn't realize, but what, Everything is doing a natural sort on numbers?)

Did you notice if it was all folders before you reindexed? Doesn't matter if you didn't.
Is C:\wlib\mozilla\users a NTFS index?
Was any of these folders or files recently renamed/moved/copied/modified?

Well it was (at least) all subdirectories within that one particular 'storage' directory.
(Otherwise, not sure.)
Yes, all are NTFS.
The one particular directory... about the most I can say, is that it was last "modified" ~4-2-17, possibly created ~2-26-17. Probably not copied, but created new.
I've checked other 'storage' directories (only because Everything was sitting there displaying them) & they (now, the ones I looked at) are all displaying the directory sizes as expected.
Very possible, likely that many of these directories were originally indexed under much older versions of Everything, & unless somewhere along the line something caused a Rebuild or one was manually done (which I don't recall having done except for the other day)...
Various drives, dates, sizes. The assortment of ones I looked at, (now) show correctly.
