Excluding folders

Post by joebrug »

Using Everything Server (x86) plugin, in case that matters. Using 1406 build currently.

An interesting situation where I just added e:\test to this list on the server instance, and it's removed from the Server's instance of Everything, but my workstation can still see it. However, my workstation cannot see the first two listed. What's the trick? Screenshot is server settings:

After adding e:\test to your excludes, Everything will do a quick reindex and create a new index journal.

The existing clients will be immediately disconnected from the Everything Server because the journal ID has changed.
They will pull down the fresh index without e:\test within 30 seconds.



Please make sure the clients have "Monitor changes" enabled on the network index under Tools -> Options -> Network Indexes.

Please make sure the clients are not indexing e:\test from another method, eg: Folders, File Lists or Network Drives.



If the issue persists, please upload your Tools -> Debug -> Statistics from the client and server in a bug report.
