Hi there - I do not see the ability to Import/Export settings. I am trying to move the settings for Everything to another new computer I just bought. Thanks for the help.

You are probably using an older version.
Type in SearchBox:

Code: Select all

about:ini

and/or try to find your settings file - Everything.ini

Once you find it, copy/paste it to the new Everything folder, in the new computer.

If you upgrade to the new Everything version, you will find the Export/Import feature.

When I "check for updates" I see have the latest version. Very strange, why isn't that option there for me ..

Moved from void's Everything settings.



To backup your settings in Everything 1.4:

• Exit Everything (File -> Exit)
• Copy the following folder:
  %APPDATA%\Everything
  (this should resolve to: C:\Users\<your-user-name>\AppData\Roaming\Everything )

To restore your settings:

• Exit Everything (File -> Exit)
• Restore the following folder:
  %APPDATA%\Everything

The export/import feature will be available in Everything 1.5.
