[Feature Request] Watch for updates to property_user_values

[dougbenham]

If we choose to use the

property_user_values

which derives properties from a csv file, the file is read on startup only (I believe?).

After modifying the csv..
- I have tried closing the Everything 1.5a GUI and re-opening.
- I have tried hitting F5 to refresh.

What does work is..
- /restart (which I'm assuming restarts the service or something)

So my request is for you to add a file watcher to that csv and make sure edited properties get automatically read. Alternatively, hitting F5 could check the csv to see if it was modified since last read.

the file is read on startup only (I believe?).

Correct.

I will look into automatically reloading custom values when the CSV file is modified.
Thank you for the suggestion.

For now, to reload the custom values you'll need to restart Everything:
From the File menu, click Exit.
Restart Everything.

-or-

Type in the following search and press ENTER:
/restart



Indexed properties will also need to be refreshed:
Select files that need refreshing and press Ctrl + F5.
