User.ini

[void]

Everything 1.5.0.1397a adds support for User.ini

user.ini files can set your settings on Everything startup.
Users can still change settings, but the settings are lost when they restart Everything.

Use Policy.ini to lock settings.



Please make sure your settings are listed under an [Everything] section.

For example, to reset the Everything window to position 100,100:

User.ini

Code: Select all

[Everything]
window_x=100
window_y=100

Everything 1.5 will load user.ini files from the following locations:

• exe-path\User.ini
• %APPDATA%\Everything\User.ini

Everything 1.5 alpha with the alpha instance will load user.ini files from the following locations:

• exe-path\User.ini
• exe-path\User-1.5a.ini
• %APPDATA%\Everything\User-1.5a.ini

Everything 1.5 with a custom instance name will load user.ini files from the following locations:

• exe-path\User.ini
• exe-path\User-<instance-name>.ini
• %APPDATA%\Everything\User-<instance-name>.ini

Should you be able to set keyboard shortcuts in user.ini ?

Code: Select all

[Everything]
; for Everything_Rename, EGOR.bat, i want Quit, Alt+F4 to EXIT the program, rather then close to Tray
file_exit_keys=627

(now sure, i can just set it directly, but then i need to make a note that i did, & why.
if it were in user.ini, then it's already there & "documented".

I suppose i could do both, as in, setting it manually, & then also including it in user.ini - even though not effectual,
so i would then not need a separate note, somewhere...)

User.ini

Code: Select all

[Everything]
; for Everything_Rename, EGOR.bat, i want Quit, Alt+F4 to EXIT the program, rather then close to Tray
file_exit_keys=627

This worked for me, Alt+F4 is bound to File | Exit.

Make sure the User.ini is in one of the following locations (in load order):
The same location as your Everything.exe
The same location as your Everything.exe (with instance name suffix: User-<instance-name>.ini)
%APPDATA%\Everything (with instance name suffix: User-<instance-name>.ini)
Check if you have another user.ini overriding your Alt+F4 one.

This worked for me

Me too. So I wonder what I did?

Maybe ? initially it had closed to Tray - which I didn't realize, so when I reopened, I was simply opening from Tray rather then the program restarting? (I'll think about it, more... at some later time.)
