Hi,
I'm using the same portable Everything installation on multiple machines (by sharing it using Dropbox). I would like to be able to make for every machine a different profile. So machine A has a set of drive mappings, while machine B has another set of mappings. Also not every machine has the same user logging on (e.g. work and home machine). I currently use a batch command workaround:
@echo off
start everything.exe -config Everything.%COMPUTERNAME%.ini -instance %COMPUTERNAME% -db Everything.%COMPUTERNAME%.db
It would be great if Everything could also provide this out of the box. The multi-user database filename feature doesn't cut it, because it does not provide a per-user folder set (even different users on the same machine might have different drive mappings). I have to use different configs here because one machine is always on and has Everything running (handy for scheduled folder updates). If I would change a setting on another machine, it would not be picked up when using the same ini file (ini is only updated when closing Everything). Most ini settings would be the same for all machines, but it would be great if some machine specifics could be put under a section for that machine only, like folders= or dbname .
I hope my suggestion is clear enough, otherwise I would be happy to elaborate. I've been doing some searching in the forum, but did not find if this has been requested before, so I hope I did not duplicate here.
