Update

Update Click the “Update” button to update the index named in the window to the right of the button. To choose an index to update, click or double-click on the “Index” list box: see below. The update uses the original Folder(s) and File(s), as well as original settings for other options. If you want to add or change Folder(s), File(s), or any options in an index, re-Make it instead of updating it.

Update for Choose whether changed files or both changed and new are included in the updating of the index.

• Changes only Include in the update any files that have been changed. For the updating, a file is considered to be changed if its date on disk does not match its date as stored in the index.
  
  
• Changes and new files Include both changed and new files in the update.

Do not pack files Checkmark this to skip packing (compressing) the index’s files after the index is made. Packing the files results in smaller files. It takes insignificant time for most indexes, but may take minutes for extremely large indexes.
