Autoconnect to ETP Server

Post by pstrg »

I found this in an old post, but don't know whether it's valid:

I have implemented the option to save an ETP connection / filelist in bookmarks, I will release this shortly in an updated beta.
There is an ini option auto_connect that will always try to connect to an ETP server instead of loading the local database.
However, if there is no server available Everything will resort to the local database.
I will consider polling for a network connection if none is available.


Does the auto_connect option really exist? If it does, what's its syntax?

To automatically connect to a ETP server:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Home tab.
  • Change Index to ETP server.
  • Set the ETP server to: username:password@host:port
  • Set the desired link type.
  • Click OK.
Now when you open a new Everything search window, Everything will connect to your ETP server.
The local database will not be loaded (unless you disconnect from the ETP server).
