Is there any setting to delay property indexing for a new file?
Is there any setting to delay property indexing for a new file?
I'm using a script to bulk edit some videos periodically. But sometimes, Everything prevents immediately deleting the temporary files created during the process because files are being used by the property system. So I wonder if is there any setting to add some delay, like 1-2 seconds, before property indexing triggered for new/changed files.

Not that I am aware of.
However, you could temporarily pause the indexing of properties altogether through menu:Index => Pause Property Indexing.
When done bulk editing, enable it again through menu:Index => Update Indexed Properties
)or by right-clicking the Properties entry in the statusbar)

That is what I've been doing. It would be nice to have a such an option though. But I guess it's just too rare of a problem to be added an option for it.

Are these temp files of the same file type as the source; like .mp4 & temp.mp4?deleting the temporary files created
Cause if they're different, you might exclude that different, "temporary" file type from being indexed.

They are all mp4 files.

I am considering a delay setting.
(it's tricky to do because I have to track request times which doubles the size of the request database)
For now an idea:
Please try disabling the Windows Property System:
Everything will prefer the Windows Property System over native support.
If the Windows Property System is disabled, Everything will fall back to native support.
Everything native support will open the file with share delete.
You might be able to delete the file while Everything is reading its properties.
Please try excluding these temp files from your property indexing.

Disabling property_system setting solved the deleting issue but it also disabled indexing some fields such as total bitrate, artist and title which is important for me.
