Everything-1.5.0.1397a.x64.zip does not contain Everything64.exe

As the subject says.
There is only Everything.exe in this archive.
The same problem in the setup version.

Is this intentional ?

Thanks.
A very bad decision.
A lot of scripts and hotkeys which invoke Everything will fail.

Other modifications (without claim to completeness)

Total Commander
- Buttonbar (several buttons)
- em_Commands -> usercmd.ini
- wincmd.ini
- Shortcuts (.lnk)

Everything
- Instances
- Everything Options - 1.5.0.1396a (x64) > General: 🔲 Everything Service -> Checkmark removed in version 1.5.0.1396a
- Everything Options - 1.5.0.1397a (x64) > General: ✅ Everything Service -> Check mark set in version 1.5.0.1397a
- Everything Options - 1.5.0.1397a (x64) > (only) General: Review of previous settings >
  If necessary, change the check marks back to “tick-checked”.
- Re-pin Everything to your taskbar
- Check of registry entries

I've already done most of it.

Yes, a lot of work :(
I see no technical benefit for this decision.

Since the title bar of Everything displays the version number followed by (x64) or (x86) anyway,
hopefully this is a one-time effort.

There is more changed than the name.
A simple AHK statement no longer finds the Everything window.
hWnd := WinExist("ahk_exe Everything.exe ahk_class EVERYTHING")

While technically correct in what you said, I'm not quite following...

If you simply rename Everything.exe to Everything64.exe, won't everything (;-)) work as it always has?


(With the .zip, that seems straight forward.
With an installer, that might be a bit more convoluted.)

We are talking about other tools or scripts to invoke Everything.
Also, hotkeys from other tools are no longer working.
That's a lot of work to fix, which you may not understand using only Everything.

I may revert this Everything64.exe -> Everything.exe rename, depending on issues with discord and other programs.
For now, I would like to go back to Everything.exe for a beta release soon.

I have found and changed all related scripts and Ini-Files in my environment.
So all works as before.
Please stay with Everything.exe for the alpha and all following versions.

Everything 1.5.0.1397a renames Everything64.exe to Everything.exe

This is more inline with what other programs are doing and I want to follow the standards for a beta release.
I would like to trial this now before doing it in the beta release.

It will also make it easier to give script and registry examples without having to worry about the machine target.
I want to avoid an Everything64.exe, EverythingARM.exe and an EverythingARM64.exe and only have one Everything.exe

Please update any shortcuts to Everything.
Please re-pin your Everything Taskbar button.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

If you need any help fixing broken scripts or shortcuts, please let me know.

Everything 1.5.0.1398a tries to smooth out the transition from Everything64.exe to Everything.exe

1398a will no longer remove the old Everything64.exe

Keep your old Everything64.exe if you update from the portable zip to avoid any script issues.
Calling Everything64.exe will pass the command line to Everything.exe (provided Everything.exe is already running)

1398a also refreshes the relaunch app-id.
If you have Everything pinned to your taskbar, please re-pin Everything:
  • Right click the pinned Everything taskbar button and click Unpin from taskbar.
  • Right click the Everything taskbar button and click Pin from taskbar.

I have Content enabled for a lot of extensions in Everything. So I simply searched for
content:"everything64.exe"
and edited a bunch of AHK and BAT files accordingly.
