Re: "Updating database..." - slow. How to speed up?

Post by void »

"Updating database..." can be slow if there are many folders renamed and/or folders deleted since the last time Everything was run.

Run Everything in debug mode (Ctrl + ~) to check the detailed progress of the update.

You should see something like:

Code: Select all

removed 0 subfolders and 0 files from <foldername> in 0.010899 seconds
remove subfolders and files from <foldername>
renamed 0 subfolders and 15 files from <foldername> in 0.011416 seconds
Please make sure Everything is shut down correctly and the database is saved to disk. If not, Everything will have to update this information each time you run it.
Check the debug output to see if a program is spamming folder renames / deletes (you should be able to deduce this program from the folder names).
