XYplorer Beta Club

How do you get the configuration .ini file

Look into the script, copy the .ini part out and create one yourself if you really want to?
A crash is something completely different^^

It is automatically integrated

Interesting. As far as I see it doesn't even detect the already installed via standard installation options of Everything 1.5a (TC 10.52)...

PS: I am completely new to XYplorer. I used Total Commander, and must say Everything integration is coming out of the box, so I am not understand why it is so complicated in XYplorer.

Sorry but this is nonsense.
I use TC with Everything from the first time its was integrated.
There is only an automatic integration if Everything is installed and already running in the background.
Also to use Everything 1.5 you need changes to its ini file to use it from TC.
If you don't understand the simple config of the XY script its not your tool at all.

I am not here to support Total Commander, but I need to reply as your remark is not fair and respect is important: you need to precise that the official Everything version is NOT v1.5a which is an alpha version, but v1.4
And with the official release of Everything it works right out of the box.
And if you want to use the v1.5a on Total Commander, you can also, you just have to configure it: it is easy and quick to do.

Where is the nonsense ?
I have not said Everything is being installed by TC. I just said that it is automatically configuring itself to use Everything. Nowadays, most computer knowledgeable people use Everything search.
It is obvious that without Everything installed on your machine, it will use Windows Search, like XYplorer.

Lol, that reminds of something...

it will use Windows Search, like XYplorer

Only that XY isn't using Windows Search...

These remarks are all but good. Keep them for yourself, and please leave this forum clean.
If you had read my post properly, you would have learnt that I am just starting using XYplorer, so your words are making a flop.

I am just starting using XYplorer

Then maybe you should stop posting bs if you clearly don't know what you're talking about.
Thanks^^

A few notes to other newbies like me:

1. What this script does, is basically calling the es.exe using a XYplorer UI, therefore, any limitations es.exe has, is applicable to this script, like you need Everything GUI app to be running for it to work.
2. Filters and macros are supported in Everything 1.4, but they are only supported in GUI. If you use es.exe the cli tool, filters do not work!
3. In 1.5a, filters and macros work with BOTH GUI AND CLI (es.exe). But there is a caveat, you need to tell es.exe to communicate to Everything 1.5a, because 1.5a is an alpha version, by default es.exe won't use it!
So in cli, go to the path es.exe is located, type There will be an ini file created at the same path es.exe is located. If you bring the ini with you to another machine, you won't need to use the command again.

No the -instance is not necessary !
Add the following line in your Everything-1.5.ini file and the Alpha works as usual.
alpha_instance=0
