XYplorer Beta Club

I'd like XYplorer to be able to select files and folders, when requested through command line switch.

Here are key differences between the proposed feature and /path switch:
1. When asked to open a subfolder inside a folder, /path makes XYplorer just open the subfolder, while /select opens the folder and selects the subfolder.
2. /path currently has certain issues with selecting objects (perhaps this is intentional). In most cases, XYplorer highlights the object instead of putting the selection on it. The behavior depends on what path was last opened in XYplorer, and whenever or not the asked path is already opened in any tab. /select should always select the object.

From what it looks like to me, it should be easy to implement this.

My previous thread about this feature (with more details): http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15578

I'd like developer to consider this feature, in case it was somehow missed. The alternative solution kindly provided by highend in the mentioned thread has certain limitations that prevent it from correctly working with all files.

It was a bug. Next beta should work as expected. No new switch needed.

Thanks for reply. Do you mean the problem with highlighting?

And what about subfolder situation?

1. When asked to open a subfolder inside a folder, /path makes XYplorer just open the subfolder, while /select opens the folder and selects the subfolder.

What about this (the final slash makes the difference):

C:\Sub
-> go to C:\, select Sub

C:\Sub\
-> go to C:\Sub\

That wasn't a good idea. Next version will have the /select switch:
