Options not being saved in 1.3.3.658b

Post by gggirlgeek »

Hi,

I can't seem to get my options to stick after closing "Everything." I have tried running as Administrator. I have also tried editing the .ini file directly. It simply reverts back to the previous settings in both cases. Note that it doesn't revert back to default though, just the settings I was using in v1.3.x.x.

Special notes:
I am using x64 version
I am using the portable version

Update: I found the problem!

In Everything.ini, I had the set up: instance_name="unique_name" so I could start Multiple instances with various exclusions. But I forgot to use the -instance <name> command line switch to start Everything.exe.

So now my shortcut starts with:

Code: Select all

Everything.exe -startup -instance unique_name
in Everything.ini I put:

Code: Select all

instance_name="unique_name"

In addition, this solved my other problem too: Not able to change Everything's icon anymore

It's a good day. :D
