Added filter keeps getting deleted after every restart - have to reimport

Post by idkaname »

The weird part is I have 2 added filters and one of them keeps getting removed. Is there a filter limit so it removes that one? Is there a fix for this or intentional? Thanks.

Please make sure Everything is installed correctly:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
    (If unchecked, Everything will most likely be unable to save your filters to disk)
  • Click OK.
Does the issue persist?

Unfortunately it does. That was actually checked by default (atleast on my end.) Have tried reinstalling. Is there a filter limit, though?

Please try adding a filter.
Is your filter added to the end of your %APPDATA%\Everything\Filters.csv?

Please make sure this file is not read-only.


There is no filter limit.

Aha! It was read-only. Will test again and get back to you.

Same issue. The problem filter is "TF," "pb2la" is fine. I do notice the default filters are duplicated.. Guessing something is messing up the filters. Maybe something to do with the 3 button shortcut? I'll try reinstalling

Problem has solved itself after unchecking read-only, thanks for your help!
