load settings from command line

[redwood]

hi, i use use a tool that grants TrustedInstaller privilege and wish to use it with everything.

NSudo -U:T -P:E "%ProgramFiles%\Everything\Everything.exe" -config "%APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini" -db "%localappdata%
\Everything\Everything.db"

How to load favorites and filter also stored in %appdata%\everything folder?

Everything doesn't need TrustedInstaller rights for any of its functions.

[redwood]

my question is how to load settings stored in another location

[horst.epp]

Help for command line switches says
-config <filename>
The filename of the ini file.

No time for details (no more time; sorry)

The CSV files for filters, hustory, etc are not searched in the location of the ini-file per se.

Maybe this helps a bit (for now).

Please make sure the Everything.ini in the same location as your Everything.exe has the app_data setting enabled:

Code: Select all

[Everything]
app_data=1

app_data
