Cataloging drives and folders
A folder tree with sizes answers questions that a filename search alone cannot.
During cataloging, Everywhere fills file attributes and rolls sizes up into directory records. The Catalog browser can therefore show the shape and size of a disconnected archive. These are the sizes recorded at the last scan; rescan after reorganizing files if current totals matter.
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.
No. Offline sizes reflect the last completed catalog scan.
No. The catalog records directory totals while scanning the source.
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.
