After 1.3.4 update... back to 1.2.1

Post by boxcat »

Ok so i been using everything 1.2.1 for a pretty long time, but once it suggested to update it. Ok i did it... and the madness started to happen.
after i install it freshly, it works fine, but after few days it starts to forgot its database and cant find anything or only files that i opened like minutes ago. (i disabled windows indexing service, but i think that has nothing to do with everything services).
Also it forgots all its settings if i close everything with windows shutdown, only way is to save settings to close everything by file>exit, and then open again.
Also i was dissapointed that after update i had to set up all the settings again.

Anyway, i was keep reinstalling 1.3.4 version over n over but it keept working bad after few days again and again.
so i searched my "downloads" folder to find out witch version i had before and i found installer with 1.2.1 x86. and its all works perfect again. Not planing to update.

So i registered just to report this "bug" and i have no idea what developers did in this new version, maybe more support for windows 8, but that ruined good app.

Im using Windows 7 64bit. But i chose to use x86version of everything, because hey, whats the point to use apps of x64 if they eat more ram?
Having 64bit os to let it see all of ram, but use them little by little with 32bit apps it think is good idea, unless its photoshop..

Please make sure you have store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything: enabled or please make sure Everything has write access to same location as your Everything.exe.

Enable store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab.
  • Check store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything
This option should be enabled by default.
If you disable this option and run Everything as a standard user, you will not be able to save any Everything settings or save the Everything database.
