Re: What is the best way to just make a list from an entire drive?

[Biff]

So this is the easiest way to make a file / folder list of an entire drive(?):
When I select a drive (or more) in the folder panel, press CTRL+S and save the efu file, then I have all of the items of a drive (or more) in the list without a single file / folder missing?



And to save a list of ALL of the volumes / indexes / ALL of the files and folders one need to set the search filter to "Everything" and press CTRL+S?

Yes, selecting your drive from the folder sidebar and exporting to a file list is the easiest and fastest.

Another way is to use the file list editor and add your drive.
However, this can take several minutes to scan your drive.

Another option is to use ES (the command line interface)
For example:

es.exe z: -export-efu z.efu

ES will use your Everything index to instantly create the file list.

I think the answer would be that it's personal preference. There are couple ways, and you nees to test and choose the way that is preferred and convenient for you, what suits your needs better.
You can have the output via the GUI and you can also have it via a CMD or a batch file.

Alright, OK, thank you very much!

Why are there some items greyed out(?):
^

Some of the greyed out ones and the normal ones open in a file manager others do not when double clicking them.

These files/folders are hidden.

OK, many thanks!

[Stamimail]

These files/folders are hidden.

It seems that folders and files that are no longer available have also been given the transparent icon:



I think we can't use the same transparent icon for both cases.
Try to use strike or other trick for no longer available.

I'll look into another method for rendering offline icons.

Thank you for the suggestion.
