Question for everything and XYplorer

Post by FKF5482 »

Hello guys, i would like you to help me with a small issue i have if you can.
I've searched in the forum and in google but i couldn't find anything directly related to my issue, however if there is, i apologize for missing it and please point me to it.

I'm using a program called "everything" to search for files. The problem is when i want to open a folder from inside everything, the folder opens in the same
window i have already open in xyplorer. Is there a way to make any folder i open inside everything to open in its own tab in XYplorer?

Thanks in advance and have a nice day :)

Options - General - Context Menu - Open Path
Command: $exec("path\to\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /feed="::tab$('new', '%1'$);")

Not a straight answer to your question, but Marco wrote a script to use Everything in XYplorer.
It might even answer more of your needs… ;)
Personally, I use an embedded version (I search by typing an alias @? in the address bar), so I never leave XYplorer’s UI. It’s so powerful and efficient that I only use XYplorer’s own search for specific cases (labels, branch…).

Hello again, one more question please.

I can't make it to work for the "open path" option. I've tried replacing the Default $openpath("%1") with
$exec("C:\XYPlorer Portable\XYplorer.exe" /feed="::tab$('new', '%1'$);") and it only seems to work with folders.
When i select files pics, videos etc i get a window in xyplorer saying location currently unavailable.

For example if i want to open a path for the D:\document.txt is trying to open D:\document.txt\ and thats why the error occurs if im not mistaken.

As always thanks in advance. :)

You were talking about opening folders only, not files...

$exec("path\to\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /feed="::if $(exists$('%1'$) == 1$) ${ tab$('new'$); goto '%1'; $} else ${ tab$('new', '%1'$); $}")

I wasn't implying that is your fault in any way highend.
It was my fault for not asking about how to open files as well but i didn't knew it at that time.
That worked perfectly once again.

Thank you a lot for your time and your help, have a nice weekend :)
