Everything-xyz.ini in a different folder?

[YossiD]

I have created a shortcut for a second instance of Everything, but I want to move the .ini file to a different folder where I keep various configuration files. I have tried "<app path>everything.exe" -instance "<config path>everything-xyz.ini" and various permutations, but no luck so far.

I also tried a batch file in combination with -config, that won't open a new instance, and I've not managed to use -config and -instance together.

If what I want to do is possible, please advise the proper syntax.

Wishing one and all a Happy, Healthy, Productive, and Fun 2022.

You can try:

Code: Select all

"c:\path to\everything.exe" -instance "Second instance" -config "x:\path to\everything-xyz.ini"

(Replace "c:\path to\everything.exe" , "Second instance" and "x:\path to\everything-xyz.ini" with values that you like and/or match your situation.

You can even give the location where the database should be stored by adding: -db "c:\another path\everything-xyz.db"

Same to you! (and everyone else reading this)
