HTTP Plugin: Can not browse for duplicate volume letter

Post by iFish »

1. I disabled option 'automatically remove offline volumes'
2. I connected a portable disk to windows && remove it
3. I connected a second portable disk to windows

Windows does assign same volume letter to these two volumes(one volume per disk). In Everything I can browse them in folder tree, they displayed together with different labels.

But in http web ui they all displayed as E:, so I can not browse them normally, these two links showing the same content.

The HTTP server should merge the two E: drives together.

Clicking on either E: drive links should show both GDJ_2 (E:) and DATA3 (E:) merged.
Is this what you see?



One option:

Search for:

Yes. These two links displays merged content. But how to tell which volume where file comes from in web ui?

Search opition online: seems only work in everything client. In web ui I can not filter online files, and can not browse for online & offline volumes seperatly.
Is there any chance web ui also display the volume label where file was indexed, and using both driver letter and volume label to identify path?

Can't be done from the web interface yet.

online: currently is not allowed via the http server.
I will add an option to enable this.

I will look into support for browsing both unique drives.

For now, I recommend indexing only online volumes for your HTTP server.
