Updating ini file..entries missing

Post by harryray2 »

I'm using 1.5...I've just updated 1262 to 1266.

Normally when I update (I've been doing this since 1.4) I just copy the new everything.exe file and overwrite the previous version.
I've just noticed that the ini file hasn't been updated to the new version. How do I update my ini file without losing all my settings?

Looking again it appears that there are some new ini entries but the full_row_select_double_click_path entry doesn't seem to be there.

Thanks.

full_row_select_double_click_path was removed in 1266a.
It was removed because it shouldn't have been disabled by default.

full_row_select_double_click_path will be back as a UI option in the next alpha update.

Please make sure Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything is enabled:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything
  • Click OK.
The Everything.ini is stored in %APPDATA%\Everything

Please make sure Everything is not running when backing up or restoring this file.

Has Everything lost all your settings or only some?

Thanks, no, no problems...I was basing it on the full_row_select_double_click_path not appearing. It seems to be working OK. The ini file appears to be updating when running the new version.

I keep the ini file in the Everything folder for reasons of portability

Also, could you help me regarding the following (unresolved) threads?
