Everything will not find some file unless they are "touched" recently

[Tower2k]

I noticed that Everything could not find certain files, I know exist. I couldn't tell why, so I experimented...
I discovered that a file needed to be "touched". Touch being like the linux command.

The least destructive method to touch all files (in Windows, keeps all dates & attributes) is to toggle the Archive bit twice.
Only after doing this was the entire drive contents visible to Everything.

I have no idea why certain files (some new, some old) need to be touched 1st.

Thanks,
Rick

Everything 1.4 will not monitor hard links.
Everything may miss changes to files if they were ever a hard link.

The USN Journal can sometimes use shortnames causing Everything to use the wrong filename.
It depends on the application creating the files/directories.

Please try forcing a rebuild in Everything to pickup the new files:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Indexes tab on the left.
• Click Force Rebuild.
• Click OK.

Everything 1.5 will monitor new hardlinks.
