A problem in Everything 1.3.2.645b:
I exit Everything and make changes to the .ini file in Notepad and Save. As soon as I start Everything, the changes are erased and the original .ini file is restored.
I use Privilege Level: Run this program as an Administrator.
I tried both the portable version and the installed version of Everything, with the same result. As long as I don't open Everything, the changes are still there in the .ini file.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank's for a superb program!
Saving changes in .ini file
Re: Saving changes in .ini file
When you exit Everything is there an Everything process still running?
Please check with Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + ESC) for an Everything.exe process.

Re: Saving changes in .ini file
Problem solved, at first I didn't realize how different the beta and the stable versions work.
Perhaps someone else had the same problem, so here's what happened:
I wanted Everything to open all folders and file paths in Total Commander (64-bit version) instead of Windows Explorer.
In the stable version you just do what the help file says and paste the following 2 lines at the end of the .ini file, and your'e done:
open_folder_command=$exec("c:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.exe" "%1")
open_folder_path_command=$exec("c:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.exe" "$parent(%1)")
But in the beta version, you have to use the following 2 lines:
open_folder_command2=$exec("c:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.exe" "%1")
open_path_command2=$exec("c:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.exe" "$parent(%1)")
At first I didn't notice the differences:
open_folder_command2 instead of open_folder_command
and
open_path_command2 instead of open_folder_path_command
And finally, I opened the beta As Administrator (it's not necessary with the stable version). And voilà, when I exited Everything, the 2 lines I had added at the end of the .ini file were automatically moved to the correct position in the .ini file.
It's really worth installing the beta, there are some very useful improvements.
