Now, the bug report:
Everything Search has a cool feature that it automatically updates its database immediately after copy/move/delete files.
There is a performance problem with that if you rename a directory having thousands of files / subdirectories in it.
Basically, the OS operation is instantaneous, but then it takes a long time for Everything Search to updates its database. I usually kill it, delete its database and restart it because that is faster (with an empty database, I think it only indexes the MFT which is a lot faster in these situations).
We need a faster re-indexing in such situations (almost instantaneous would be perfect
)At the very least we need a setting for the priority of the thread performing the re-indexing. And the default should be lower than normal.
Note: unfortunately, because of this performance problem, one of my friends stopped using this wonderful application.
That said, thank for a very nice and useful application,
