… well, maybe not everything, but everything related to CD'ing around.
TCC 18.00.18 on Win7 SP1.
When I installed my initial eversion of 18, i.e. 18.00.17, I had it install Everything as part of the install. I played with it for a bit, and quickly decided it wasn't for me.* I then saw that build 18 was out, so I updated. In installing the update, I told it not to install Everything. I stopped the service, etc., so that the build 18 install could continue unimpeded.
Build 18 is now installed, no Everything, no entry in TCMD.INI for Everything at all, but CDD still doesn't search the index. I've confirmed the jpstree.idx file is still there, and TCMD17 (release 17, not build 17) still works fine, i.e. cdd "something" brings up a list of all the "something" directories immediately.
The "Extended Directory Search" option in the option dialog is set to 2, just like on release 17, and the path is empty, just like it is on release 17.
So, what new thing do we have to do to get CDD using jpstree.idx again in release 18?
*First, it uses the equivalent of 3, not 2, and I hate 3. When I do a "cdd foo", I want to find directory foo and foo only, not foobar, not toefoo, not football, just foo.
Second, it only works on local NTFS, and I'm on a VM, so all my files are on "shared" devices, even though they're physically on the same laptop.
Third, it introduces needless complexity for something that has worked great for years (decades?). (Is this a TC* problem or an Everything problem? Where and how do I create the index? Which do I tell where to put the index? Why is there no "Everything" option in the Option dialog? And so on and so on and so on.)
