Update and DB file issue

[komser]

i'm running the portable version with 1.5.0.1340a, without service installed.
when i replace the exe file with newest one, the UI shows only ? (see attached files). force rebuild button was no help.
after close UI the existing DB file is overwritten with a small file.
origin file size: 12.046.336 bytes

[void]

Please try a fresh index:

• Exit Everything (File -> Exit)
• In Windows Explorer, type in the follow address and press ENTER:
  %LOCALAPPDATA%\Everything
• Delete your Everything-1.5a.db
• Restart Everything.

Does the issue persist?

with the procedure a new (blank) DB is created, but this is not my target.
i'll keep (re-use) the existing DB further.
