Label column would be very useful

Currently, you can see and sort files by Name, Path, Size, and other columns, but there's no way which offline disk contains a particular file you're looking for.

A drive "Label" column would come in very handy, allowing us to manage multiple offline disks and possibly to opt in to store disk label info in the Options.

Maybe by storing a DB of drive labels (and/or uuids) and give each label a 1- or 2-byte index (for up to 256 - 65536 disks)? That way, each file would only need 1 or 2 bytes of extra info.

What version of Everything are you using?

Everything 1.5 has a volume label column.

Oh I didn't even know about v1.5 as I primarily use Chocolatey GUI to update Everything.

Thanks for the great work!
