behavior of index_folder_size?

[defc]

I am using following command to generate the efu file :-

Code: Select all

everthing.exe -nodb -config myefu.ini -create-file-list d.efu d:\

The .ini file is :-

Code: Select all

[Everything]
allow_http_server=0
allow_etp_server=0
run_as_admin=0
run_in_background=0
check_for_updates_on_startup=0
auto_include_fixed_volumes=0
auto_include_removable_volumes=0
auto_include_fixed_refs_volumes=0
auto_include_removable_refs_volumes=0
file_list_filename_column_visible=1
auto_remove_offline_ntfs_volumes=0
index_folder_size=1

The efu file looks like this -

Code: Select all

Filename,Size,Date Modified,Date Created,Attributes
"d:\Apps",0,132106648030912618,132106647956122529,16
"d:\Apps\7-Zip",0,132106648032845111,132106648030912618,16
"d:\Apps\7-Zip\7-zip.chm",108074,131951340000000000,132106648031212448,32
"d:\Apps\7-Zip\7-zip.dll",78336,131952384000000000,132106648032721658,32
"d:\Apps\7-Zip\7-zip32.dll",50688,131952384000000000,132106648032741652,32

I am assuming that index_folder_size is ignored in this instance, as the directory does not have have its size set?
And ii is only used in the GUI which calculates the sizes by adding up contents of subfolders, and creates an index on it in addition?

Is that right?

Correct.

Everything always re-calculates the folder sizes. (They are never loaded from the efu file)

-create-file-list does not generate folder sizes. The -create-file-list command line option does not load your Everything.ini

Please try the command line interface ES to export folder sizes to a file list.
ES.exe d: -export-efu out.efu

Note: ES will pull filenames from your Everything index, you will need to make sure your D: drive is included in your Everything index.

Thanks for the explanation, void!
