EFUtool v1.0 published - Fast EFU update tool

[zybexXL]

Hi all,

I've published a tool to create and update EFU files, supporting a very fast folder re-scan method - about 7x faster than Everything scanning for network shares. The created EFU files are compatible with Everything and can be loaded into it.

Please see this thread for details:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7545

Github source, documentation and benchmarks:
https://github.com/zybexXL/EFUtool

Download:
https://github.com/zybexXL/EFUtool/releases

Note that this is only useful for network shares. For local disks just use Everything's native volume indexing.
Hopefully David will soon make this tool redundant

and how do you do it on local disks? help me!

Pharra, what do you want to do exactly?
To index local NTFS disks you don't need EFUs, just enable the disks in Everything's settings. For non-NTFS disks you can use EFUTool to index them - just read the intructions on the webpage to generate the EFUs, then load them into Everything.

I want the changes made in file locations, which are in an efu list, to be recognized by the efu list and the paths are updated.
so I could reproduce the archives directly from this list again ...

Sorry, I did not read the instructions on the page. then the: efutool myIndex.efu
Would that be the solution I need?
In this post I'll tell you more about what I need: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7676&p=25979#p25979

PS: I downloaded efutool and I do not know how to install
