Folder Index -> Never, Should F2 Rename update?

[therube]

With a Folder Index -> set to Never update, Should an F2 Rename actually update the listing?

I guess it should not?

But it is odd, because the rename does occur, only [nothing new] is reflected back to the user.

If "Attempt to monitor changes" is enabled, Everything will continue to monitor changes in real-time even when Never update is selected.
Is "Attempt to monitor changes" checked?

Is Everything removing the old name, but not adding the new name?

No, I did not have that checked (purposely, just figuring I'd simply do an update - from time to time).

The file (on disk) is renamed, blindly, if you will, but nothing is reflected in Everything.

I had forgotten, or didn't realize that I had Never enabled for the folder & was not monitoring, which is OK, but when I went to rename, it was like, didn't I just rename the file? So I tried a second time, but that second attempt failed with a message (because the file as it was originally named was not there anymore). [The first "rename" only gave, what seemed to me to be a "blip", but nothing more, so I thought I did something wrong. Only after looking further did I realize that I was set to Never, which then brought me here .]


I suppose if I wanted "Never", with never meaning that the .db/index would remain totally unchanged, then I guess the behavior is correct.

If I wanted "Never, but...", hmm, then maybe I ought to just enable Monitoring...?

If monitoring is enabled, Everything should detect the rename, even if you have never update checked.

I've renamed "update" to "rescan" to make this clearer.
