Can't add setting from command line inconsistency

Post by Jolly »

I was looking for a way to add settings from the command line without using the full --install-config ini option.
I know we can fast add settings from the search bar - like /request_extra_fileinfo_end=256

I know we can execute a search from the command line via -s
but unexpectedly we can't combine the two:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -s  /request_extra_fileinfo_end=256
It'll load that search into the searchbar, but not execute the search, so the setting won't be updated without user interaction.

ES will execute but wont update the option

Code: Select all

es.exe /request_extra_fileinfo_end=256

It's not super important for me to solve this, it was just unexpected.

There's
-config-value <key=value>


For example:

Everything.exe -config-value request_extra_fileinfo_end=256




-config-value
