EverythingToolbar Version

0.7.4.0

Windows Version

21H2

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the Everything Toolbar (anyway);
2. Type the file/folder wanted;
3. Open path use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + Enter" or through the context menu

Expected Behavior

I setup the Files (file manager) like the default files explorer. I use the experimental option setting for this and works fine, but when I open the path file/folder through the Everything Toolbar, it doesn't open through the Files.

Actual Behavior

The Everything Toolbar open file/folder path through the Windows Explorer and not through Files.

The original Everything software succeed in open path in the Files instead the Windows Explorer.

Additional Information

This can be some 🔗 workaround for the problem, but I didn't try to do that.

Make a rule for folder opening and all works fine. I do this for Total commander like this:

There is one problem, you selected one of the badest Microsoft ways to start tools by using the Files app. There is no easy way to execute the Files app from a command line, so its almost useless for scripting and integration. There are enough better file managers availble which can be integrated in tools like Everything toolbar.

Thank you for the solution, Horst12.

Saddly, apps download by Microsoft Story don't have the path accessible like you saied indirectly. I think that the Files application has a executable installer, so I will try your alternative.

Looking into the code of Files it seems to be possible. I'm sure this can be implemented rather easily. Actually Files can be launched via the command line using just files.

I added support for more third party file explorers like Files. It will be available in the next release (after 1.0.0).
