Drive letter in FAT tab different than the one in folder panel? Etc.?

[Biff]

When I now press ALT+ENTER (to show the content of the marked folder)


this is shown (a [not] existing folder on another index / drive with same name obviously):


That marked folder actually should not be existing on that USB Stick. This Stick (actually of the PIONEER E: volume / index) just inserted

does (and did) not contain two or more folders of the ones that are shown in its index. The other folders are on that drive. And the index in the folder panel seems to have a different drive letter, than the (same) index in the FAT Tab indexes in the options.

It appears there are folders / files / drive letters / drives or something got mixed up somehow. Or am I missing anything? Would there be a way to get that like it should be?

The (complete) indexing (after I changed the drive letter of the hard disk E: and changed it back to E:) lasted very long for only 60.000 files (without properties), may be 10, 20 minutes or even longer. Plus indexing the properties after the files were indexed.

Everything will select the first matching folder.

I have put on my TODO list to select an online folder when there are duplicated paths.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Please try a rebuild from Tools -> Options -> Index -> Force Rebuild

Everything will perform a "quick" reindex.
However, if you are indexing many properties, this quick reindex will still take several minutes.

Thank you very much!

Sorry, I am not quite sure to understand.

Why does this happen:

Excuse me, what matching folder? Suitable for what?

Many thanks. But I am not quite sure what this means.

How can that be?

Sorry, when will it do so, under what circumstances?

[void]

Please try removing the offline drives:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the FAT tab on the left.
• For each FAT volume:
  • Click Remove (if possible - Remove will be clickable if the volume is offline)
• Click OK.

Does this help?

[Biff]

Yes yes, it helped

Yes yes, it helped, probably since the non-existent folder that CTRL+ENTER led to is no longer there.

How could one avoid such (displaying not existing folders, etc.)?

[void]

There's currently issues with Everything treating multiple volumes with the same drive letter as the wrong volume.

This could cause a non-existing folder to show in Everything.

I am working on a fix.

That's great! Many thanks!
