1402 & -read-only, potentially always Migrating...

If you have an existing ESDb1 that you open -read-only,
& you open it in Everything > 1400
you will always have a Migrating... condition.

So if all you did was to update Everything.exe
from 1400 to 1402
& then you open said -read-only instance
all opens will open, Migrating...

Is there a way around that (other then allowing update or copying in an updated ESDb2 .db)?

[void]

Unfortunately, there's no way around it, 1401+ uses a different database structure.
(different indexed property structure, different journal database, different sorting and different string comparison)

I recommend
Using 1400a with your older dbs.
-or-
Waiting for 1402 to mature a little, then update your db.
