Everything is showing the same file twice, help please?

Post by noriha »

I am using Everything Version 1.4.0.713b (x64). I am using the beta because in the stable version, there is no possibility to show image thumbnails. I have a huge external hard drive that has thousands of pictures scattered across hundreds of directories so with a "G:\" *.jpg i can find them all and see the thumbnails.

I haven't run into a single problem in this beta version before, but today I have. I was using a Seagate external hard drive before and Everything showed everything correctly. I dropped the hard disk but it was still working but I decided to get a new one just to be safe, and with this new hard drive that I got today, Everything is showing all the files twice.

This is on a Western Digital My Passport Ultra 3 TB. This problem did not happen with the Seagate hard drive, but just started happening today with the new drive.

I already tried to force rebuild the indexes, but the problem is still there.

Anyone who can help me please?

Thanks a lot!

I found the problem. The old (dropped) hard disk was always mounted as G:\ and the new one is also mounted as G:\. Everything still had the old disk indexed + the new disk. I don't know why Everything still thinks the old disk is connected to my PC, it was still showing up in the list of local NTFS volumes:

I manually removed it and now everything is working as it should.
