Command line search

[wetware05]

Version 1.4.X has the es.exe utility to search from the command line, but it doesn't work for version 1.5. Are you planning to create a similar utility for version 1.5? Ideally, everything.exe itself should do that same function.

[void]

The Everything 1.5 alpha currently runs in a "1.5a" instance.

Please try running ES with -instance 1.5a

For example:
es -instance 1.5a foo bar

-or-

If you are not using Everything 1.4, please disable the 1.5a instance:

• From the Start menu, search for: Notepad
• Right click Notepad and click Run as administrator.
• In Notepad, open your Everything-1.5a.ini in the same location as your Everything.exe
• Change the following line:
  alpha_instance=1
  to:
  alpha_instance=0
• Save changes and exit Notepad.
• Restart Everything 1.5.

Thanks void, today is late, I'll do it tomorrow.

Alternative when using the 1.5a instance:

The alpha version of Everything 1.5 uses a named instance - 1.5a - to be able to run it side-by-side with the stable 1.4 version.

You can use ES.exe -instance 1.5a ... to talk to Everything 1.5.

You probably don't want to type this everytime. Save the instance name to use to a settings file ( ES.ini in the folder where your ES.exe resides), execute the following command:

Code: Select all

ES.exe   -instance 1.5a  -save-settings 

From now on you can do your regular

es -size -dm sizecolor 13 -dmcolor 11 -sort dm -n 10
