Hi,
is it possible to add a column or a filter to find the list of removed files from an EFU file after opening it separately or adding it as Filelist in the indexes menu.
Best regards
Find if the file still exists in EFU file
Re: Find if the file still exists in EFU file
Everything treats file lists as static / offline list of files.
Please try opening the file list and searching for files that don't exist:
I will look into making this easier by adding a ini setting to allow properties to be gathered for file lists.
Please try opening the file list and searching for files that don't exist:
- In Everything, from the File menu, click Open File List.
- Select your file list and click Open.
- Include the following in your search:
!filelist1: - Hold down Ctrl and click the filelist1: text in the search box.
- Click Add folder....
- Select the live folder and click Open.
(for example, the file list is an index of your D: drive, so select the D: drive)
(It may take a minute to gather the filenames) - Click OK.
Everything will now show files that exist in the file list, but have been deleted.
I will look into making this easier by adding a ini setting to allow properties to be gathered for file lists.

Everything 1.5.0.1330a adds a filelist_properties ini setting.

This may help find files in your EFU file that no longer exist:
After enabling filelist properties, press F5 to refresh your Everything property cache.
Search for a property that is not indexed in your EFU file.
For example:
index-type:filelist date-created:unknown
(If you are indexing the date created property, please try searching the File ID property or other property where there is almost always a value).
When enabled, Everything will gather properties for files/folders in your file list.

Just making a note here, Everything 1.5.0.1332a fixes an few issues with properties not being loaded for file lists when filelist_properties is enabled.
