[v1.5.0.1354a.x64] Import settings doesn't work properly

Post by Helix751 »

Hi. I tried the Alpha, and started by importing settings.ini from Everything 1.4.

The import tool completed without errors, but:
  • Only the 1st Search filter entry was imported, but just its name, not its filter definition.
  • The remainning filters were not imported at all.
Running under Win11 Pro.

Thank you for the issue report Helix751,

Filters are not imported with settings.

Filters must be imported separately.



To import filters:
  • In Everything, from the Search menu, click Organize Filters....
  • Click Import....
  • Select your Filters.csv file and click Open.
  • Click OK.
Import history, filters and bookmarks from Everything 1.4



The Everything filter name is stored in your Settings as this filter is always referenced as EVERYTHING and cannot be deleted.
