Automatically make an EFU file list each time an external drive is plugged in?

[Biff]

Could I make Everything automatically make such an EFU file list each time an external drive is plugged in for different drives? And, if not, what is the fastest / most convenient way to update a list after plugging in an external drive? Is there a shortcut?

How do I make an EFU file list?

In Everything, from the Tools menu, click File List Editor....
In the File List Editor, drag and drop files into the list to add to your file list.
You can also add files and folders from the Edit menu.
When you are finished, from the File menu, click Save.

If I manually create such file lists for each external drive, what is the fastest / most convenient way to exclude / include all of these lists in the search?

Add the file lists to your Everything index from Tools -> Options -> File Lists.

-or-

Concatenate all your file lists into one list and open this file list in Everything.

Thanks for the links, looks very complicated, any idea how to use this. So there is no manner to merely do it with Everything with a few clicks or so, I suppose.

Ah sorry, I meant how to temporarilly for single searches one just can switch off or on searching the lists, with a single click or so.

Concatenate all your file lists into one list and open this file list in Everything.

Is there a special way to do it or just open the lists in the file list editor?

Many thanks again

Here's one:
* In the Everything searchbar, type "filelistfilename:*.efu" (without the quotes)
* Export this to ALL.EFU (Menu:File > Export)

Another one, using CMD.exe:
(Assuming all EFU's are in one folder)
* COPY /B nul + *.EFU ALL.EFU


@void: thank you for the event-based scheduled task info!
I learn a lot, just watching these forums ...

Alright, thank you very much!
