[Solved] Export only modified settings

Post by w64bit »

How can I export only user modified lines settings (and not the default ones)?

Everything does not have an option to export only modified settings.

I will consider an option to do this.

For now, here are the default settings:
Everything-1.5a-default.ini.zip

Use your favourite diff tool to compare.

The plan is to add another page after the import/export page:

Tools -> Import and Export Settings -> Import -> pick from one of the following:
Import ALL settings and data
Import settings only
Import Search History
Import Run History
Import Plugin settings
Import Filters
Import Bookmarks
Import Macros
etc...

Import and export settings was quickly added so you could import your settings only from Everything 1.5
For now, to import search history, run history, filters and bookmarks from Everything 1.4, please see:
Import other settings

If I import my settings from 1.4, will it overwrite any of the "new" settings like property indexing and wipe it clean?

When importing an Everything.ini from Everything 1.4, only the Everything 1.4 settings will be imported.

New settings in Everything 1.5 will remain unchanged.

Thanks for confirmation.
