Clear Custom Folder Indexes at each startup

Is this possible? I'm talking about the Folders you can add under Indexes > Folders. It would be really handy.

Currently no, would you go into Tools -> Options -> Folders -> Update Now when you want to index the folders?

Running multiple instances maybe a better solution.
Run a named 'folder index' instance when you wish to access your folder indexes, keep the folder indexes out of your default instance.

Yes, or make a new menu option under tools for that. Any plans to implement such an option?

But the folder index instance would still not be cleared at each startup.

You can set a keyboard shortcut (Options | General -> Keyboard) for 'Indexes | Folders | Rescan All Now'.

No, I don't understand the need to have the folder indexes cleared. Could you please give a little more detail.
It could be done now by copying an empty Everything.db before starting Everything and using folder_update_rescan_asap, although it's a little tricky to setup, let me know if something like this interests you.

Is this for security / privacy reasons?
Would the database be cleared on Everything exit or on Everything startup?

It seems like a solution albeit a bit complicated one

Yes this is for security/privacy reasons.
It would be best if it is cleared on Everything exit as long as shutting down the computer without explicitly exiting Everything does not prevent the db clear.
