Cataloging drives and folders
Search finds a row; browsing explains the archive around it.
The Catalog window has a sidebar for catalogs and a browser for their recorded folder trees. It works the same whether a drive is connected or offline. You can understand the hierarchy, inspect folder sizes, and copy a path while the physical source remains unavailable; opening the file is the point at which the drive must return.
Open Catalog… from Everywhere’s menu bar item and add the drive or folder that matters. Let the first catalogue finish, then search by filename and browse the recorded folder tree. When the source is disconnected, the catalogue remains available and results are labelled offline so you know why opening the file requires reconnecting the drive.
Keep the original drive unchanged, use a clear catalogue name, and rescan after a large round of changes. Catalogues are for the places you choose; they do not silently turn a whole-Mac search into a second scan.
Reveal requires the source to be connected, but Copy Path and Reveal in Catalog remain available offline.
It is a catalog browser and finding aid, not a backup viewer that reconstructs file contents.
Everywhere keeps track of every file on your Mac — including the folders Spotlight hides and drives you have unplugged. Free for a day, then $19 once.
