/define

[NotNull]

This is just a FYI for now. Will revert Everything to default settings and see if this issue remains.

/DEFINE is not working as expected in an installed (Program Files) Everything 1.5.0.1311a.

• /define abc=def does not define abc (macros.csv is not updated and no statusbar message).
  Same after deleting macros.csv.
• /define does not show the macros that are defined in "macros-1.5a.csv" in %APPDATA%
• Running a portable Everything with a clean ini works as expected. No issues.
• After copying different settings (minus the color, font, keys ones) from %APPDATA% Everything ini to portable Everything.ini, still all OK.
• After replacing portable Everything.ini with %APPDATA% Everything ini, /define has the same issues as the installed one.

Version 1299 was used for the debug log of the portable version,but initial tests with 1311 showed the same output.

Thanks for the issue report NotNull,

Do other search commands work, eg: /help

Have you changed the search_command_prefix ini setting?

Could you please send me your %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini

[NotNull]

Mystery solved:

The keyboard shortcut for File | Open was set to ENTER (Global) instead of the default ENTER (Result List)
Leftover of some experimenting I did a while back...
