Saving database is slow

[yrwin]

I use Everything in portable mode from flash drive. When I want to leave and remove flash, I exit Everything, but exiting takes too long, because it is saving database, which has in my case 300MB. Is it really neccesary to save the database all the time when exiting Everything?
And even worse. Everything first hides its taskbar icon, but because saving database takes too long, it will exit few secs-minutes after it. So I have to check by task manager, when Everything really exists and this is a bit annoying

A couple options:

1). Enable database compression:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Indexes tab.
• Check Compress database.
• Click OK.

2). Disable the database, to do this run Everything with the -nodb command line option:
Everything.exe -nodb

3). Enable Save settings and data to %APPDATA%\Everything:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab.
• Check Save settings and data to %APPDATA%\Everything.
• Click OK.

Thanks for the ideas! All these hints bypass saving database to the flash drive. But its ok for me to have database on flash drive. I just wanted to suggest/ask, if it would be too complicated to do the database incremental or something like this

Another option to try would be to enable database compression:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Indexes tab.
• Check Compress database.
• Click OK.
