XYplorer is not pointing to the file when clicked in 'show in folder'

[ABC005]

In Windows explorer when the open file location/open path/show in folder is clicked from the browser downloads, it opens the folder containing the file while pointing to the file i.e. it selects the file when it is opened. But XYplorer is not showing this behavior. Kindly help

Currently this can only be done with AutoHotkey or something like that, and there will be an Explorer window flashing...

I have never used autohotkey before. Is there any guide on how to do it?

1) Download and install AutoHotkey v2
https://www.autohotkey.com/

2) Download the script and run the ahk file. When the Explorer window opens, it will automatically redirect to XYplorer.
(If you want to redirect automatically when XY is not running, you need to modify the XY path in the ini file.)

Thanks you very much sir!! I wonder how DIrectory Opus achieves it.

Seems to be using dll hooks or something, I remember needing a reboot.
I added the EVENT_OBJECT_SHOW event and it seems to make the window almost invisible.
