Everything 1.5 - Migrate Database with disconnected disk

Post by mojajad »

I have the contents of disconnected drive (Offline Disk, with Include in database still active, but without Monitor changes) still in my 1.4 Database.
Even if I cannot access the data directly, i see in the search that sth. exists on the disconnected disk.

I tried the beta of 1.5 but then my offline disk contents disappear from the search. Is there a way to migrate the 1.4 database to 1.5?

Is there a way to migrate the 1.4 database to 1.5?
No.

Export the offline disk to a file list and include the file list in your Everything 1.5 index.

To export your offline disk:
  • In Everything 1.4, search for your offline drive.
  • For example:
    e:

    where e: is your offline drive.
  • From the File menu, click Export....
  • Choose a filename and click Save.
To include your file list in your Everything 1.5 index:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the File Lists tab on the left.
  • Click Add....
  • Select your file list and click Open.
  • Click OK.
