When removing a volume, is it _necessary_ for Everything to Sort?

Post by raccoon »

I notice when removing a volume, Everything performs its sort routines again. Is this technically necessary, or should it be skipped? Shouldn't the resultant sort be the same after simply removing those volume entries without resorting to re-sorting?

Currently, for simplicity's sake, Everything will perform a quick reindex (and resort)
Hopefully you are not removing volumes too often?

I have put on my TODO list to remove volumes without a rebuild.
It's not as simple as it sounds as removing 1 million files from the db would be really slow..
It could be done instantly as a batch remove.

Thank you for the suggestion.
