Hi. what version you are using in what platform?

1.4.1 portable

amir1376 commented 2 weeks ago

This is not 1.4.1 nor 1.4.0. because I changed the "Folder" to "Open Folder" and "File" to "Open File" since 1.4.0 ! I think you have two versions in your system. you can see the running version by going to Help > About

the problem with open folder in linux was fixed a few versions ago

when you are pressing on "Open Folder" please open the home screen too. if there is an error then a notification will appear over there btw is "Open File" works for you?

That's weird! I am using this command to open the downloaded file's folder

cmd /c explorer.exe /select, <file-path>

the <file-path> is an absolute path of the downloaded file for example C:/users/Downloasds/ABDM/Compressed/archive.rar

You can test it manually in your terminal (cmd)

if it doesn't work try this instead. let see if it prints some errors in the terminal?

explorer.exe /select, <file-path>

I think there is a problem with these commands in your system.

Mahantor commented 1 week ago

I understood why it happens The problem was that C:\Windows and C:\Windows\System32 were not defined for the path variable in Environment Variables. In my opinion, to avoid this problem, it is better to replace the command cmd /c explorer.exe /select, with the this command C:\Windows\explorer.exe /select, in this case even if the paths are not defined correctly, select file will be done correctly

Did you manually remove those in PATH ?

Mahantor commented 1 week ago

no

amir1376 commented 1 week ago

I saw that almost all programs act like this (depend on PATH for accessing cmd and explorer). this is weird that these directories are not set for you!

BTW thanks for mentioning that.
