'Everything' crashes when it starts with option -apps-data

[Jivan_Mukta]

'Everything' crashes when it starts if one of the command line options is -app-data
Everithing.exe unloads almost immediately after loading into RAM.

This is happens with all 1.3.4final and 1.4.1 versions including 773b build.

There is not such a problem when instead -apps-data it is used everithing.ini/app_data=1

Tested on Windows 10 RS1 (x64)

Are you sure it's crashing?

Running Everything with -app-data will return immediately.

-app-data is an command line install option.
Command line install options will make Everything return immediately.

-app-data will update the Everything.ini in the same location as your Everything.exe to redirect the ini file to %APPDATA%\Everything.

Absolutely! But I'm not shure if it is a conflict with my particular Windows configuration.
In my tests I use Everything like a portable application, running just unziped everithing.exe. The directory with .exe is not write-protected.

I also test the case when the directories
AppDate\Local\Everything and AppDate\Roaming\Everything have been deleleted in advance, but the problem remains.

Also I tried bare 'Everything.exe -app-data' placed in other location from:
1. Command prompt
2. By Everything.lnk in all compatible modes

Also I tried when any resident anti-virus is switched off
but unfortunately one or two .exe appear in Process explorer for a moment


No problem when the option is includes in everything.ini

Code: Select all

; Please make sure Everything is not running before modifying this file.
[Everything]
; settings stored in %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini
app_data=1
run_as_admin=1

Everything crashes

Crashes how?
Do you get a (Windows) crash report?
Any error or similar reported?

-apps-data

Just what is "-apps-data" (with the 's')?

What happens when you run Everything from a command prompt with -debug -app-data:
Everything.exe -debug -app-data
