command line -create-file-list

Post by 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

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

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.
Philippe
