start Everything offline without indexing

Post by trevor12 »

I want start Everything without indexing drives, only load existing Everything.db

I use 64-bit 1.3.4.686, no as windows service, as administrator, my installation directory is C:\Everything and when I use in command prompt

Everything.exe -db C:\everything\Everything.db -read-only

everything starts, but do not load existing Everything.db, but again start new indexing of all of my drives ...

Is it some solution ?

Everything.exe -db C:\everything\Everything.db -read-only
should work.

Please check if Everything is already running before the call to Everything.exe -db C:\everything\Everything.db -read-only
Please try forcing a rebuild of the Everything.db, the database on disk could be corrupt:
  • Make sure Everything is not running.
  • Run Everything normally (without -read-only)
  • Exit Everything so the Everything.db is saved to disk.
  • Try Everything.exe -db C:\everything\Everything.db -read-only again

thank you

problem was maybe that Everything was not running before running command Everything.exe -db C:\everything\Everything.db -read-only, or database corrupted, but now it is ok (maybe from time when I exported filelist and open it , now when I run Everything, offline filelist is opened, that what I wanted, I occasionally will rebuild database)

Still I do not know what uncheck in Settings to force Everything started without automatically starting indexing fixed drives (partitions) on my laptop _
