Deleted Hard Linked Files not Change Monitored

[Shift] Deleted [64] Hard Linked Files not Change Monitored.
As in after deletion, they're still showing up in Everything.

Just saying...

Hadn't realized they were hard links, until after the fact.


-------


And I can do similar, again, I'm thinking.
Lets see how it goes...

82 files total.
68 are hard links
14 are individual files

Select All
Shift+Del

Result: Everything still shows 67 of those hard linked files.




Screenshots, left to right.

1. Initial
2. Selecting All
3. File listing of all selected
4. After deletion
5. File listing of what remains after deletion

So it looks like all individual files were monitored, "removed".
But only one of the hard linked files was (monitored).


(Note that the hard linked files are identifiable by their [different] icon.)

[void]

There are some limitations with monitoring hard links.

Only the first instance of a hard link will update correctly, this is limitation with the USN Journal and Everything.
Improving hard link monitoring is on my TODO list.
