Bookmark from Command line issue

Post by froggie »

I have a bookmark named test1 that contains this command: /explore "E:\User\Desktop\"

I call it from a .bat file with the command: "P:\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -bookmark "test1"

If there is an open Everything window, it opens the folder tree and selects E:\User\Desktop\ as it should

If there is no open Everything window, it opens one and just displays the folder tree with nothing selected, ignoring E:\User\Desktop\
(If I then run the .bat again it shows E:\User\Desktop\, since there is now an open Everything window.)

I guess the suggested installation of Everything will solve hat.
There is always Everything in the background.

Thank you for the issue report froggie,

This issue has something to do with setting the bookmark index to local database.

Please try changing the bookmark index to: (No change)

I am working on a fix..

How the heck did you figure this out? Try all bookmark settings? Analyze the code? Intuition?
(my assumption was some racing condition ..)

That is a skill I would love to have!

I was trying to reproduce the issue with no luck.

Setting the folder sidebar selection gets added to a queue if the database is not loaded.

The bookmark changing the index was the first thing that came to mind that might cause the issue.

I still don't know the exact cause, I'll look into it more today..

Everything 1.5.0.1356a fixes an issue with opening a bookmark that changes the index.
