Filtering large directory tree

[azev]

Hi,

I have this extrenal USB drive which has a huge directory tree.
Inside that huge tree there are .dat files.

Is it possible to set a filter so Everything will scan ONLY FOLDERS in that drive and SKIP the files (*.dat) inside those directories?
Everything takes about 5 minutes to scan all that drive and after done, its memory usage soar to 90Mb.

Is it possible to set Everything to keep the database entries for that drive (even when it is not connected) and then just scan for changes when it is plugged?

In this particular drive, it is important that Everything scan only the FOLDERS NAMES, not the files.

To exclude dat files on your D: drive:
From Tools -> Options -> Exclude
Set exclude files to:

Code: Select all

d:\*.dat

where d: is your drive with the dat files.

-or-

To Exclude all files under a certain folder:
From Tools -> Options -> Exclude
Set exclude files to:

Code: Select all

d:\pathtofolder\*

where d:\pathtofolder\ is the path where you want only folders indexed.
