Use to Everythings at the same time?

Post by Biff »

Can one use to portable Everythings at the same time located in different folders?

Yes, use instances:
(http://www.voidtools.com/support/everyt ... instances/)

Instances
c:\folder1\everything.exe -instance "Instance 1"
d:\folder1\everything.exe -instance "My USB disk"
"Regular"
c:\program files\everything\everything.exe

Those three can run side by side.

Many thanks.

I thought the way my Everything runs it already uses these instances.

I copied the first Everything to another place. I made a link to the second one and added this: Everything.exe -instance "ETP Server"

When I double click the link this message appears, but Everything appears to work properly:

How could I avoid this message? Respectively where else should I add -instance "ETP Server"?

I *think* you put Everything.exe two times on the command line.

It should read something like:

Code: Select all

"c:\path\to\everything.exe" -instance "Mein erster Versuch"
(oder -instance "ETP Server"; der Name is egal .. )


EDIT: Upon re-reading this: Sorry for the language mix up; I saw a German dialog box while on the phone, speaking Dutch and writing English text at the same time.
Apparently that lead to some short circuit in my brain... I had no idea I switched to the German language :-S

Ah, unbelievable, you are right of course, twice the exe added. Your version does work.

Unglaublich, da sehe ich nicht mal auf dem eigenen Bildschirmfoto, was gut zu erkennen ist, die 2 exe-Einträge.

Jetzt funktioniert es.

Vielen Dank
