command line -create-file-list

[phil2search]

Hello,

I am using the -create-file-list in some scripts.

The script/command line works fine with everything 1.4 but no file is created with everything 1.5.
"C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -create-file-list test.efu path

There is no error either.
The command -create-file-list still shows up in the list of valid commands when using the -h switch.

Am I missing something? Any alternative ? (I was thinking of stopping my 1.4 instance).

Thanks
Philippe

Hello,
not working again since 1383a it seems (using x64), please check

[void]

Thank you for the issue report v.m.,

What happens?
Does Everything crash?
What was your exact command line?

i'm using command line to create and update filelists for my offline disks, like this -
"Z:\Progs\Everything\Everything64.exe" -create-file-list "Z:\mnt2\@offline\d2.efu" "Z:\mnt2\d2"

it works fine in 1383a and stopped working after, filelist created contains just files from directory where the cmd.exe was launched from, not from <path> argument

Thank you for the details.

I am working on a fix.

Hello,

just to confirm: exact same issue on another machine:
"C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -create-file-list "c:\nobackup\test.efu" "C:\desktop"
creates a file with the content of the folder from which the comment was run but disregards the last argument

"C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -create-file-list "c:\nobackup\test.efu" -filename "c:\desktop"
"C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -filename "c:\desktop" -create-file-list "c:\nobackup\test.efu"

do the same.

Thanks for everything.

Hello, it seems there's now a problem with manual filelist exporting (File/Export... command) in latest build. It looks like it saves ok filelist right after force rebuild, but if saved after some time it creates near empty filelist. I'm using search-line like this for creating offline catalogs - "!filelistfilename:. mnt2\d17\" and "gather_properties_on_export=1" set in advanced settings, to save length of video-files to catalog. BTW, properties not saved when file-list created with commandline, only through File/Export... command, it would be nice to have properties with commandline also.

Big thanks for all!
