Add support for Everything v1.5a

[kcorax]

Hello, I'm using Everthing 1.5a . It seems that this plugin can't detect it and gives a "Warning: Everything service is not running". Clicking on it doesn't seem to solve the issue and I get no feedback from doing that.
Initially I assumed that the problem was the service name, but following @void's instructions to disable the alpha version's instance naming didn't solve the issue. Unfortunately I didn't have time to check if that indeed changed the name back to 1.4's.

Although this is a niche problem, I wonder if it makes sense to provision for cases like that on the plugin's side, for futureproofing as well.

At any rate, thank you for your sharing your code.

Just to confirm, you have tried manually setting the path to 1.5a (via app's settings at the bottom)?

Facing the same issue. And no, setting the path doesn't work.

Disable the 1.5a Instance

To use the Everything 1.4 SDK you will need to disable the "1.5a" instance.
This 1.5a instance will be removed when Everything 1.5 is ready for beta/release.
Completely exit out of Everything (right click the Everything system tray icon and click Exit)
Open your Everything-1.5a.ini file in the same location as your Everything64.exe
Add the following line to the end of the file:
alpha_instance=0
Save changes and restart Everything.
Everything will no longer use an instance name for window classes (IPC)
Everything will continue to use the 1.5a instance name for settings, data and the Everything Service.

Have you tried this?

Thank you @taooceros. Changing alpha_instance from 1 to 0 in the .ini file made it possible for 1.5a to work with the launcher.

Thanks for this. In my case, I also had to set this in the user settings file under the hidden AppData folder.

you can set alpha_instance to false in the advanced options tab of Evergthing's UI
