export the settings for the exclusion directory

[mencall]

Export configuration, filters, index exclusion directories, bookmark etc.
In particular, I need to export and import settings for the exclusion directory.
Thanks!

(While there may be no direct "export", the list of excluded files/directories is stored in Everything.ini, so if you have a backup of that, you're kind of good in that respect.)

Everything.ini:

• exclude_files=

• exclude_folders=

Thanks!
This is true.
But still a little inconvenient.

In fact, I use this tool at home and in the company, because I want to filter out some of the distracting items, so I use the excluded directory list directory and different (different user names, different computers),
Sometimes I want to recommend it to others,
Everyone has a different habit and wants to give them a cleaner/stronger screening rule (excluding rules) so that they only focus on the document video music pictures on the computer.

I actually have a manually recorded exclusion list file (.txt), but it's not a good update.
When I manually added the exclusion list to Everything, I was a little tired.

Another point is that if Everything can support environment variables, it's better(Of course, it may not be realistic).
For example, username, appdata, etc., the actual directory is not the same on different computers.
Using Everything.ini directly is not very effective.
Recently, because the computer crashed, I thought about asking this.

Everything settings are stored in %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini
Filters are stored in %APPDATA%\Everything\Filters.csv
Bookmarks are stored in %APPDATA%\Everything\Bookmarks.csv
Search History is stored in %APPDATA%\Everything\Search History.csv
Run History is stored in %APPDATA%\Everything\Run History.csv

You can copy, modify or replace these files when Everything is not running.
An option to backup/restore all this information from the UI is on my TODO list.

I've added to my TODO list: support environment variables for exclude folders/filters so Everything.inis can be moved from one PC to another where %TEMP% may resolve to a different folder.

Thanks for the suggestions.

It would be nice if using shell folders is also possible in the exclusion list, like shell:appdata\Microsoft .

Hi!

I've recently "lost" the bookmarks I once had. ANd looked for ANY "Bookmarks.csv" file to no avail. May I recover the last bookmarks? Do are they stored in a different file (I have disks backups to look in) i can search for?

Try

bookmarks csv

(no dot, in case the file is name slightly different [if you were using a Named Instance].)
Maybe it got renamed, so look in your Everything profile directory & see if something in there might be it.

Otherwise...

Check recycle.bin?
Or maybe an undelete program (if the file was inadvertently deleted)?
