'Open Path' not working

Post by Alduin's Khajiit »

When right clicking on a file in Everything and selecting 'Open Path', Everything does not open a folder to that file's location, instead it opens to my user folder, the file I right clicked and selected open path is NOT in my user folder

You may not have the necessary rights for the file or folder

Options | General | Context Menu -> Open Path.
What does the Command: show?

My end, XP shows, different.
Give it a try & see what happens?

Code: Select all

$openpath("%1")

From a C: prompt, your Command: works for me.

Code: Select all

C:\> explorer.exe  /select,"C:\Mozilla\sessionstore.json"
Opens the Mozilla directory, focuses on sessionstore.json.

Please try changing your open path command to $exec($parent("%1"))
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Context menu tab.
  • Select Open Path.
  • Change the command to:
    $exec($parent("%1"))
  • Click OK.
