can't search out all files

[joshatt]

Hi,
I love this software, but some times it just can't find out all files I want. Please look at this:



The missing files are like this:
[超市特工.第三季].Chuck.Season3.EP10_S-Files.rmvb

[void]

The filesystem monitors might have missed the creation of these files.
Have the missing files been indexed by "Everything"?
To check, try searching for

Code: Select all

*.rmvb

Are the files still missing with this search?

Thanks for the response.

Same thing happens with *.rmvb.

[void]

I can assume these files have not been indexed or "Everything" has missed the creation of these files.

Are there any errors reported in your Errorlog.txt file in your "Everything" installation folder?

Please try the following fix:

• Exit "Everything".
• Delete your Everything.db file in your "Everything" installation folder.
• Restart "Everything".

Can you find these missing files now?

There's no Errorlog.txt.
Deleting Everything.db , ..., and this bug happens again.

[void]

Does "Everything" find the folder that is missing these files?
Are there any other files found in the folder with missing files?

"Everything" is limited to 255 bytes per file name.
Chinese characters take 3 bytes per character, are the file name lengths greater than 85 characters in length?

Please check all your NTFS volumes for errors.

To check your NTFS volumes for errors:

Great! I ran this NTFS check and the next boot I saw WINXP disk check and found some segment xxxxx unreadable, etc. When repair is done, I rebuild Everything database, and "everything" is working perfect.

To get fast performance, I always close WINXP's disk check function. I'll change this habbit, at least for NTFS partitions. Hope my case would help other guys with the same situation...

Thanks for all the help and kindness!!!
