Use ETP server by default(INI?)

Post by Chiefmas »

Is there a way to make local Everything search a ETP server by default? Since I use a NAS that I run Everything on, I don't really care about searching my local machine. It's a small thing, but I wondered if I could make it default to the ETP server instead of having to tell it to connect whenever I start the client/re-open the window after accidentally closing it.

So more specifically, is that what configuring the network_index_* settings in the INI would do?

Thanks!

To set Everything to connect to an ETP server by default:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Home tab on the left.
  • Set the Index to: ETP server
  • Set the ETP server to: username:password@host:port
    (just use host if you are not using a username and password and the port is the default)
  • Set the preferred link type.
  • Click OK.


To do this with the everything.ini:
Set home_index to
1

(1 = enable home index)
Set index to
2

(2 = ETP server)
Set index_etp_server to
username:password@host:port

Set index_link_type to
1

(0=C:; 1=\\server\C; 2=\\server\C$; 3=ftp://server/c)



network_index_ is for the Everything Server (Not ETP server)
