On a regular basis I start a separate instance of Everything to experiment, open a separate read-only database or reproduce forum issues.
The first thing I do after that, is disabling "Run in background" and "Show tray icon"
But in reality I forget that half of the time, causing that instance running unnoticed in the notification area for longer time.
Very low priority suggestion - mainly because I seem unable to learn from my mistakes - to add a command-line option to Everything to start it without running in the background / in the system tray.
command-line option regarding "Run in background" and "Show tray icon"
Re: command-line option regarding "Run in background" and "Show tray icon"
I always use the debug console with the -debug command line option:
Everything.exe -debug
When I am done with the instance, I close the debug console.. terminating the instance.
This also avoids writing anything to disk.
You can also show the console with the /debug search command or Ctrl + ~ and then close the console to terminate Everything.
Added to my TODO List: Add no-run-in-background command line option and -no-tray command line option.
Thanks for the suggestions.
