Make XYplorer listen to command line from 3rd party software

When XYplorer is already opened, I need a command line to open a path with a new Tab in XYplorer
For example: Xyplorer.exe -path "C:\program files"
The reason is: I have some search software (Everything; RecentX) which search for folders, but when I open that folders from Everything, a Windows Explorer appear. I want it to be opened in new XYplorer Tab instead
Thank you.

Do you really have configured Everything correctly?
Look at:

Works flawlessly with XYplorer...

I have this:
open_folder_command=$exec("E:\7Utilities\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" "%1")
But XYplorer open in current tab instead of new tab
PS: I applied the same command with RecentX but XYPlorer open in New window (another instance of XYplorer appear)

I think you'll get the behavior you desire(at least for Everything) if you just turn on the option "Open Command line start path in new tab" under the "Startup & Exit" section in the configuration window (F9 or Tools->Configuration).
I hope this helps!

Config - Startup & Exit - Enable "Open command line start path in a new tab".
PS: I applied the same command with RecentX but XYPlorer open in New window (another instance of XYplorer appear)
Config - Startup & Exit - Disable "Allow multiple instances".

I disabled "Allow multiple instances" but it does not help with Recent X

Seems to be true.
Maybe you should send the developers (of RecentX) a bug report?

I sent the bug to RecentX team, Hope they can help.
A combination of RecentX and XYplorer would be perfect!
