Duplicate items in result when adding dir and its subdir both into indexed folders

[bit]

D: is mounted network drive,
D:\dls\a is my download location so it changes often,
when adding both D: and D:\dls\a to Indexes->Folders, I set two different rescan time to reduce unnecessary IO as D: not change that fast.
This cause same item under subdir repeatly showing itself in the list.

The column before Attribute is "Folder Depth", says the 2 files have 1 and 3 depths according to their base folders in indexes.
Is this designed on purpose?
IMO there should only 1 item and depth follows the uppermost basedir in indexes.

Please consider only indexing D:\ to avoid duplicated results.

Please consider only indexing D:\ to avoid duplicated results.

Yes this is the only way to exclude dupes for now.
Suggestion: add an option to let user customize which part under this folder should have a separate rescan policy.

I will consider options for each subfolder.
Thank you for the suggestion.

For now, please consider Including each subfolder under D:
I realize this is not ideal if you have a lot of subfolders.



There's a -rescan <path> command line option to rescan a subfolder.

For example, index D: and set the folder to never rescan.
Call

Everything.exe -rescan d:

to rescan the entire d: or call

Everything.exe -rescan D:\dls\a

to rescan everything under only d:\dls\a
Setup a scheduled task as desired.

-rescan


There's also a /rescan <path> search command to rescan a subfolder.
Same as the -rescan command line option, except you can add this as a bookmark and call it from within Everything
For example:
/rescan d:
/rescan d:\dls\a

/rescan

Thank you for the alternate methods. Good to know /rescan and -rescan work on subdirs
