Offline index after removing automatically added again?

[Biff]

I remove this index, wait some seconds, do nothing and it is added again:


Why is that?

[void]

Automatically include new fixed volumes is enabled.

Please try disabling Automatically include new fixed volumes:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the NTFS tab on the left.
• Uncheck Automatically include new fixed volumes.
• Click OK.

-or-

Please try marking this volume as not included:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the NTFS tab on the left.
• Select this Y: drive.
• Uncheck Include in database.
• Click OK.

Automatically include new fixed volumes is enabled.

Yes, that is like it should be (for EACH fixed drive). But even when they are offline? Like it was here? I understood you cannot remove online drvies from the NTFS tab, it is not like that? So this means you have to click OK / Apply in the NTFS tab quickly after pressing removing. Before the (offline) drive is added again?

[void]

Yes, that is like it should be (for EACH fixed drive). But even when they are offline?

The "Automatically include new fixed volumes" setting is a global setting.
Not a per drive setting.

If the volume has been removed (either by clicking Remove or if Automatically remove offline volumes is checked) the volume will be seen as "new" when re-inserted.

OK, so this is the usual behaviour:
I remove this index, wait some seconds, do nothing and it is added again:


But why can an offline drive be added?

Thanks for the issue report Biff,

Everything may re-add offline volumes if a volume change is detected.

I have put this on my Things to fix list.

For now, please try removing the offline volume again and clicking OK.

[Biff]

OK, thank you very much!

[void]

Everything 1.5.0.1325a fixes an issue with removed volumes reappearing in the options after a volume change is detected.

[Biff]

Ah, great, thank you very much!
