C: or C:\

Post by w64bit »

When searching for files, in Path column, for C: root folder, the path is displayed as C: instead C:\
Is this correct?

Everything uses C: internally and this is what is displayed in the path column.

The Everything index always uses absolute paths.
There are no relative paths in the index, so C: always refers to C: (not the current directory on C:\)

Everything always appends the \ (C: => C:\) when working with the shell or Windows.

Windows and the shell will treat C: as a relative path that refers to the current directory on C:\



I have not made a special case to append \ to C: in Everything when displaying paths as I preferred to show them as they are stored internally.
I will consider an option to show C: as C:\ in Everything.

I would like the following to be true too:
Path + \ + Name = Full path
