Manually trigger a rescan of a prticular path

Post by jo29 »

Here is my situation:

1. Automatic rescan once a day. No monitoring changes.
2. I do a search which yields the one file that I want, but also a dozen other *.LNK and versioned files from a messy folder.
3. I sort out that messy folder containing spurious results, removing them.
4. I want Everything to rescan just that folder so that results are cleaner for the rest of the day.

Can this be done? Thanks

Everything 1.4: No.

Everything 1.5: Yes:
Type in the following search and press ENTER:
/rescan c:\path to folder

where c:\path to folder is your folder to rescan. (subfolders are also rescanned)

Excellent. Can't wait for 1.5!

Can I suggest it be in the folder context menu too? Below 'Set run count'
