online: and offline: functions not working for 1.5.0.1418b (x64)

Thank you for the issue report Yang,

Was it working in a previous version for you?



Sounds like Everything is not monitoring drives for changes correctly.

Please make sure Update indexes is checked under the Index menu.

Please make sure Everything is installed correctly:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab on the left.
• Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
• Uncheck Run as administrator.
• Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
• Click OK.
• Exit Everything (from the File menu, click Exit).
• Restart Everything.

Thanks Void.

I was using 1.5.0.1415b.x64 and it worked fine with online: but not working offline:.

Just now I followed your instructions and re-set the options, finally online: is OK but offline: not.

1) I tried couple of time to asjust all the settings excep for Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything, since I'm using Everything a portable version other than the installation version. All failed.

2) After I check the Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything and restart, it works with online:.

It's OK to leave Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything unchecked, as long as your Everything.exe location is writable.

Could you please tell me more about the offline drive.
What type of drive is it? (eg: external USB FAT volume)
How is it indexed? (eg: Tools -> Options -> FAT/NTFS/Folder)

Please upload your Help -> troubleshooting information in a bug report.

I have changed settings and data back to the portable drive, and it works fine with online: but not offline:.

The Troubleshooting Information was just uploaded.

Thanks

Thank you for the troubleshooting information.

What drive is offline?
-Is it the D: drive?
I noticed you have disabled monitoring for this FAT drive.
With monitoring disabled, Everything will be unable to determine if the drive is online/offline.

online:

will only match volumes that are known to be online.
Use

!offline:

to match volumes that are online or have unknown online status.

online:

I have D:\ F:\ I:\ P:\ Q:\ offline, and only C:\ online. D is FAT and others all NTFS.

Got the point how it works, then I will use !online: to filter files offline.

Thansk!
