Compatibility with Windows 8

Post by geniuspaus »

After testing out windows 8, everything still beats Win8's own search tool. But there are random bugs like files can't drag n drop, database wouldn't update anymore, etc.

Thanks.

PS: I'm using Everything-1.2.1.452a

(I've never used 8, so only guessing...)


> files can't drag n drop

Could that be because Everything is running with Admin privileges, while you are running with less (Limited or whatever it may be called)?

> database wouldn't update anymore

Possibly similar reason?
Where is Everything "installed" (Program Files or something like that)? Where is its database (somewhere under %APPDATA%)?
What if you were to "instal" (put) it & its database somewhere else, a place of your choosing?
