1.5 Scanning forever

Post by LorneCash »

The progress bar for scanning folders is about 50% done and just stops. This has been a problem as long as I've been using 1.5. The drive in question in this case is a network drive (from my Synology NAS). Is there a way to tell what file it's stuck on so we can try to diagnose why it's not finishing the scan? I thought it used to say the file name currently being scanned in the status bar at the bottom but maybe not, I don't remember for sure. I just remember that somehow, I was able to determine that scanning the content of PDF files was causing an issue so I removed them from the content scan. (I'd really like to figure that out to at some point).

Thank you for the issue report LorneCash,

I'm sorry to hear Everything is taking ages to index your NAS share.



The current folder being scanned is shown in a tooltip when you hover over the progress bar with your cursor.

Please try the following:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Console.
  • From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, check Verbose.
  • The current indexing progress is reported in the console.
  • The current folder being scanned is shown in Green text.
  • Does there appear to be activity here, or does Everything appear stuck on a particular folder?


Could you please send the debug output?
  • Right click the console window title bar
  • Under the Edit menu, click Select All.
  • Right click the Select text to copy it to the clipboard.
  • Please send the output to support@voidtools.com


To close the debug console:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, uncheck Console.
