How to use Everything 1.5.0.1391a with Flow Launcher v1.19.5 ?

[christophe]

Hi, how do you use Everything 1.5.0.1391a with Flow Launcher v1.19.5?
I have both installed and even though I have added in the .ini :

Code: Select all

alpha_instance=0

Flow Launcher is still not using Everything Search (even after restarting Windows): "Warning: Everything service is not running Click to launch or install Everything"

Has someone been able to use Everything-1.5.0.1391a in Flow Launcher (v1.19.5)?

alpha_instance should be set in your %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini
(not the Everything.ini in the same location as your Everything.exe)

preferably, disable your alpha_instance from within the UI:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  alpha
• Select: alpha_instance
• Set the value to: false
• Click OK.

Please make sure you restart Everything after changing this setting:

• In Everything, from the File menu, click Exit.
• Restart Everything.

Hi, when you do this, does it prevent to run Everything 1.5a and Everything 1.4 in parallel? I've been using both for different searches... If that's the case, is there a way to keep both running?

Thanks

Yes, in this case you can't run both.
The only way is an option to define the instance name in Flow Louncher,
which is an option many applications provide.

I see no reason to run the 1.4 at all.
The 1.5 version is superior in every way.
There is nothing in 1.4 which you can't do in 1.5

Thanks. Maybe I have to adapt to use tabs or more instances Everything 1.5a windows... I started using both when I first installed 1.5a as it was/is an Alpha and it became part of my workflow. Actually there were instances when one or the other were acting differently from what I wanted and it helped me crosscheck setting etc.

But I believe I was not 100% clear. I'm good with using 1.5a with Flow Launcher. I was wondering about using the both 1.5a and 1.4 on their own at the same time in general Windows 11 usage after making "Alpha Instance" false on 1.5a as now 1.4 doesn't start anymore.
