Auto close windows explorer upon opening folder

Post by RainbowWolfer »

In XYplorer Configuration/Shell Integration, I can check "XYplorer is default file manager" on.
Then when i double click a folder inside windows explorer, XYplorer will automatically open.
But after that i wish there be an option for auto closing that windows explorer after XYplorer opened.

Just IMHO, that's too "user-specific" feature, but dev would say clearer.
First of why not simply start your day with opening XY without even starting Explorer.(i use it like that for more than 10 years already)
Yet if you definitely need this behaviour, i guess sripting can help you around by adding some scenario to XY's OnStart section.

Closing that window out is one of the main use cases of quick switch, you might want to give that a try.
