You should create INDEX before
you start searching. INDEX database stores information about document
content and location on your hard drive. This
allows you to find any document in a fraction of a second.

To create an index, please select the 'Indexes'
tab.

The most popular formats are checked by default.
The 'Select all' button allows to check all of them with one click.
The 'Add' button allows to add custom file extensions. For instance, you can
add *.inf, *.php and so on. diskMETA uses appropiate formats automatically and uses plain text for
unknown formats.
The 'Delete' button removes custom file extensions.
|
When you are done with the formats, please
click 'Next'.
|
|
You will be
prompted with INDEX name that you can alter to what is more
convenient for you. Then diskMETA will browse the selected folders,
calculate the required disk space and report that you are ready to start
indexing.

The
same window displays the selected folders and formats. If you need,
you can change the index settings by clicking 'Back',
otherwise you can start indexing by clicking 'Next'.
