Random "short version" of folder indexed

[valdearg]

Version: 1.5.0.1403a (x64)

I was randomly searching and noticed that Everything had indexed a large folder on a network drive I have mounted twice. Once as the normal folder name, once as the "short" version of it and once as the normal folder name.



Short:
"X:\Media\Pictures\C1NKPR~0\[_玉见津弥_]"

Normal:
"X:\Media\Pictures\Cosplayers\[_玉见津弥_]"

Both folders open to the same location in Explorer.

Details:
Network share mounted in Windows, indexed as a folder in Everything.
Index subfolders
Attempt to monitor changes enabled
Buffer size: 64KB
Fast rescan enabled

Large folder, 12TBs.
Tried re-indexing with a "Rescan Now"

Please check the following:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  read dir
• Select: read_directory_changes_get_long_path_name
• Set the value to: true
  (should be true by default)
• Click OK.

Please uncheck fast rescan for this folder.

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Folders tab on the left.
• Select your X: drive.
• Uncheck fast rescan.
• Click OK.

This drive most likely does not support fast rescan.
X: MUST be a NTFS compatible volume.
If it is not, fast rescan will miss changes.



After disabling fast rescan, please try rescanning the drive:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Folders tab on the left.
• Select your X: drive.
• Uncheck Rescan Now.
• Click OK.

Please try disabling sh_change_notify and see if the issue persists:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  sh_
• Select: sh_change_notify
• Set the value to: false
• Click OK.

Please try disabling short names on the X: drive if possible.
Would need to be done on your NAS.

I've been playing with this to see if I can replicate it more and it seems to be quite intermittent.

I can confirm:

read_directory_changes_get_long_path_name = true

I've switched off the fast rescan option and this does get rid of the error.

The unfortunate downside of that is that it'll then take an hour+ to scan for new items in the volume when I start-up the computer.

I've tried switching the drive to be under "Network Drives" instead of "Folders", I think I had tried both in the past.

I have not tried the sh_change_notify so I'll give that a try now.

The drive itself is from a Synology NAS, it's formatted as NTFS.
