-noapp-data switch does not change the APPDATA option?

[JustJoeWiard]

Hi, all.

I love this utility. It is AMAZING. So small and fast.

I like to use command line switches and scripts. And I've found that the -noapp-data switch does NOT work for me, while the -app-data switch DOES work. Strange. I have tested this pretty thoroughly. I can run "Everything.exe -app-data" in the Everything directory, then stop and run Everything, and see that the APPDATA option is indeed unchecked. But if I run "Everything.exe -noapp-data", then stop and run Everything again, the APPDATA option remains checked. I can uncheck the option and get the desired results. I can change the value of the variable in the .ini and get the desired results. But why can't I get the switch to work? I also tried -no-app-data just in case.

Also, I thought I would be able to find someone else on the internet who asked about this problem, but I've found nothing. Am I just doing something wrong? I checked the FAQ and the help file both, and I'm using the right syntax. What's up?

This is a known issue with Everything 1.3.

If you use -app-data or -no-app-data the Everything.ini in the same location of your Everything.exe is updated correctly.
However, the problem occurs when Everything was already running before using -app-data or -no-app-data, this already running instance does not update its app data setting and unfortunately, when you close this instance, the app-data setting is overwritten with the old setting.

Please ensure no Everything.exe is running before calling -app-data or -no-app-data:

Code: Select all

Everything.exe -exit
Everything.exe -no-app-data

In Everything 1.4 -app-data and -no-app-data works as expected.
That is, if Everything is already running the app data setting is correctly updated.
