Auto-Select first item causing issue

I had not enabled the setting "Auto-Select first item" but still the the first item is being selected automatically while opening the folder.
this is causing an issue with custom button to open either the user selected (folder / file) or the complete folder when nothing is intentionally selected by user.
here is the code snippet i used for opening the current folder if nothing is selected or open the selcted (folder / file)
Code: Select all
$app = "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe";
$target = "";
if ("<curname>" == "") {
$target = "<curpath>";
} else {
$target = "<curname>";
}
run """$app"" ""$target""";
Can u pls let me know how to fix this.?
because most of the folders i select are the repos and i should be opening the vscode by selecting nothing in the repo folder so that all the repo is opened in vscode.

This should already be resolved in the latest beta.

Well the script could be modified to make it still work in .1200, but if you just instead use the 1201 beta from that link, or any subsequently released versions, it will be fixed with no other changes required from you.

The only change was fixing the issue you are reporting. Anyway, this should work in whichever version:
Code: Select all
$app = "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe";
$target = "";
if ("<get curitem>" == "") {
$target = "<curpath>";
} else {
$target = "<curname>";
}
run """$app"" ""$target""";

I think the earlier mentioned <selitem> is working correctly rather than <curitem>.
Can u pls provide the definitions of selitem, curitem.?

exists(<curitem>) == 2 is always getting false even if the folder is selected.
