keeping and modifying csv files centrally.

Post by harryray2 »

Is it possible to to keep bookmarks, filters and search history centrally so that any changes I make in any one instance will be reflected in all of them, rather than keeping the individual csv files locally for each instance?

Try to make hardlinks named to your instances and link them to your one real master csv.

Simultaneous Instances or individual?

Individual, maybe with something like -config or -install-config (or similar)?

Code: Select all

	-config <filename>
		The filename of the ini file.

Code: Select all

	-install-config <filename>
		Install the specified ini file.
Not sure offhand how that plays out, if that is only the name of the .ini or if that also implies the .csv's too?
Easy enough to test.

But then, by default at least, with different Instances, naming of the .ini & .csv will also include the -Instance-name in their names. (-instance 15 begets, Everything-15.ini...)

So... not sure?

@the rube, thanks, both really...there doesn't appear to be a way to do this.

At the moment, any additions I make in one instance I'm copying and pasting into the other instances.

@therube, just to explain more, I frequently muck around with my bookmarks file and obviously my search history changes a lot.

I'would like this reflected in all instances, rather than copying the files over each time.

I guess you didn't try my hardlink suggestion as this should solve your problem.

I think you need to delete your other two instances and just use one instance of Everything. I think everyone else does, and I honestly can't conceive of any real benefit to keeping and maintaining multiple independent installations when you very much want all three to be identical anyway.

It just seems to be the source of all your problems, not the solution to them.
