Search on network path

[davdrumm]

I am trying to set up a search for my work. For instance we have a folder named \\work\help\helpfiles\tools\
I have the portable version of EVERYTHING current version installed to the \tools\ folder
I went into EVERYTHING and added the \\work\ folder so that the root and subfolders would also be indexed.
I have ten people in my office that have access to this folder. I have APPDATA stored settings turned off.
My hope is that anyone on my team can go to the folder and have that one folder \\work\ added because I added it from one of the computers. As of right now when I go to launch EVERYTHING on another computer from the same network location the Folders are now empty. Is there any way to get around this other than just adding the folder to every computer separately. Is there any way to get the setting to save on the network so that when anyone edits any of the settings they go into effect for everyone. Hope this makes sense. Thanks.

Please try running the following computer script on start-up:

Everything-set-folders.bat:
echo folders="\\\\work\\" >> "C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.ini"

Where C:\Program Files\Everything is the location of your Everything.exe on each client.

You could push this out with your domain controller.


If you wish to use one settings file for all clients:

Store the Everything.exe and the Everything.ini in \\work\Everything and make sure the clients run Everything.exe from there.
Make sure \\work\Everything is read only.

-or-

Launch Everything on the clients with the -config command line option:
Everything.exe -config \\work\Everything\Everything.ini

Please make sure \\work\Everything\Everything.ini is read-only, otherwise clients will receive an " unable to save config, enable store settings and data in APPDATA\Everything?" message when they exit Everything.

-or-

Enable store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything and redirect %APPDATA%\Everything to \\work\Everything.
