Local volumes mapped

[kev]

I've got local volumes mapped to drive letters, something like C:/docs&settings/mydocs/videos could be mapped to "V:/"

Is it possible to allow me to search from the V:/ rather than typing/opening the full path?

Besides that everything is great.
Cheers

I have added support for subst drives for the next release of "Everything".

You can test this now with the latest alpha release of "Everything".

Doesnt seem to be working in my case. Is it something I have to turn on or set up in the options? Nothing in there is striking me as the obvious switch to turn it on though.

A SUBST'd "drive" appears to act as if it were a removable drive & so needs to be manually told to Monitor changes.

Everything Options | Volumes -> Monitor changes (enable) -> Apply

(Perhaps not technically correct, but check the Options settings & the SUBST drive should be searchable.)

Still no luck. Are we talking about the same thing?

I'm sharing a folder on the network and then using "Tools -> Map Network Dive" in explorer, to give that folder a root drive letter. (the source folders and mapped letters are all on the same machine)

Is there a better way of achieving the same thing, so that it will work with everything from that to level drive letter? Besides creating new partitions for each?

Its not a big concern, I can still search the files from their real location. I just wondered if there was something obvious I was missing to make things a bit easier/quicker.

What you're describing now is different from what you described initially. (At least the way I read it.)

"Everything" will only locate files and folders on local NTFS volumes.

What you initially described, & the way I did it (using SUBST) does work.
In your second description, you say you are "Mapping" (aka NET USE) a network drive. That is different & will not work.

FAQ: 1.10 Can "Everything" index a mapped network drive?

I was using map network drive, though the volume and drive map was all local.

But I'd not come across subst before. that looks like it will fix everything.

thanks
