Displaying non existing files

Post by Shark »

Version 1.2.1.451a, Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Everything displays some files that have already been deleted.

here is a screenshot (attached). You see that "date modified" is empty, because the file does not exist anymore. Reboot does not help.
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

try exiting everything (RC on system tray icon, exit) and then go to where you have everything installed. I put mine in Program Files(x86), but I don't think it has to be there.

Delete the everything.[pcname].[user].db file there and restart. this will cause it to rescan all the drives and rebuild the database. Sometimes it does seem to get a little lost.
