[Solved] Different INI in the same instance

[w64bit]

My ini file it is in the program folder and I am switching between 2 ini files by closing the program and extract the necessary one from a zip archive.
Is there any command to use when the program is opened to load the settings from another ini file?
In the end it could be useful a INI drop down menu, similar with the Bookmark menu but populated with ini files.

Command line option,

-config

, <.ini file name>.

[w64bit]

I was thinking about something like /config_load (in search box) but it's not loading a different ini file.

And

/config_load "x:\path to\different Everything.ini"

(+ pressing ENTER) doesn't work on your system?

Error message: failed to load config 3

Just tested: same here. Error code varies (2, 3, 123)

Everything 1.4.1.988 (x64)

[void]

Please try without the quotes:
In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
/config_load x:\path to\different Everything.ini

-or-

In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
/config_load
Select your config file and click Open.

Please try without the quotes:

Did try that; that was the 123 error code.
( /config_load (without parms) does work OK, btw )


Debug log:
EDIT:
The line "CreateFileW(): 123: Failed to open file " misses a 0x05 character at the end. Not supported by forum software, I guess.

Thanks for checking.

There's a bug in the current version that will prevent Everything from loading the config from the specified filename.

Fixed for the next nightly build.

[w64bit]

Tried 992. It is loading the ini file but the column order and size it's not imported.

[void]

Thanks for bringing this issue to my attention.

The loaded column order and size information from the ini file will be lost when you close the current window.

Closing the Everything search window will save the current column order and size information to your settings.

Currently, you could:
Open a new window from the Everything tray icon, this window will open with your newly loaded ini settings.
Close the old window.

I'll look into applying the loaded settings to the current window.

One more question. I added this command to the Bookmark menu:

Code: Select all

/config_load "C:\Program Files\Everything\1.ini"

Is there any possibility to add an Enter to this command so the settings to be loaded without pressing the Enter key?

[void]

Currently, no.

Another option is to try the -install-config <Everything.ini> command line option.

For example:
Everything.exe -install-config "C:\Program Files\Everything\1.ini"
