I have been using the following command to export an everything file.
es.exe -name -full-path-and-name -export-csv c:\users\phil\desktop\out.csv
It worked fine until I added a second instance. Now I can't get anything to export
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: problem with export
Are you using multiple instances?
Please make sure you use the -instance <instance name> command line option with ES and the <instance name> matches.
Did you make multiple es calls at the same time? Everything will only execute one query at a time. The first query may still be executing.
Exporting the full path and filename for all files will take a long time.
Please try waiting for the first query to complete or close the first es instance to abort the query.

I added the -instance
es.exe -name -full-path-and-name -instance everything -export-csv c:\users\phil\desktop\out.csv
but now I get this error: Everything IPC window not found, IPC unavailable.
I found that if I rename the second instance db then the original es.exe works fine.
es.exe -name -full-path-and-name -instance everything -export-csv c:\users\phil\desktop\out.csv
but now I get this error: Everything IPC window not found, IPC unavailable.

Re: problem with export
Most times, that error indicates that Everything is not running. In your case: the "everything" instance of Everything (started with the command: Everything.exe -instance everything
Regarding deleting the database: Everything only uses the .db file from disk when starting (load data) and exiting (write data to disk) Everything.
Re: problem with export
When using ES with "true multiple instances", es will connect to the most recently created instance.
If this instance has not loaded its database you would see zero results in ES.
Please use named instances.
For example, we have two instances of Everything and we have given them the follow names: foo and bar
To launch both Everything instances you would run:
Everything -instance foo
Everything -instance bar
To have ES connect to one of these instances you would use:
ES -instance foo
-or-
ES -instance bar
