How to make a full switch to 1.5?

Post by vsub »

I am using 1.4 but I want to switch to 1.5 and keep my settings,history,bookmarks,filters and so on
The same way as upgrading to a newer 1.4 where you just replace the exe and everything work

I am using the service on 1.4
Do I just need to rename file or what?

In short:

Remove the service in the old version
and stop the running Everything.

Delete Everything.exe

Set the following in the Everything.ini file
alpha_instance=0

Create an empty file "NO_ALPHA_INSTANCE" (no extension !) in the Everything dir.

Install or copy the new version into the old Everything dir.
Let install the service and start with Windows.

This is much to complicated :)
The steps from my answer above are enough to switch from 1.4 to 1.5
if the user didn't run both versions in parallel

Your answer is a bit too short.
The poster can then get the rest in the linked topic.

If one think to have to emphasize that detailed explanations are much too complicated,
then in the "short version" one should not forget this point, which was asked for in the first line:

Import settings from Everything 1.4:

Importing all settings and data is in development.

So just to clarify can everything be imported or not what you’ve wrote in red? Not interested in Search history or run history but want to keep filters and bookmarks?

Thanks
