Windows "Share" feature does not work with Everything.
Windows "Share" feature does not work with Everything.
Windows now has a "Share" button in explorer (screenshot below). Unfortunately, Everything seems to not fully support this: clicking on "share" does nothing for me in Everything while working normally in normal Windows Explorer dialogues. Are other people experiencing this as well? And if so, will this be fixed someday? .

Re: Windows "Share" feature does not work with Everything.
Thanks for the bug report and screenshot.
I can confirm the same issue.
I can see Everything reporting error: 80070578 (invalid window handle) when trying to run the Windows.ModernShare verb.
I'm definitely passing a valid window handle to InvokeCommand.
My guess is Windows blocks this verb from all apps except Windows Explorer.
Running as a standard user or as administrator made no difference in my tests.
I've put this on my "Things to fix" list.

Thank you for the reply, and for sharing that the feature is in fact broken.void wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 10:38 am Thanks for the bug report and screenshot.

Oddly enough, I clearly remember it partially working one time (it was the first time I tried), the "share" diaogue showed, but even then the file did not actually get shared (showed up in app but failed). The app I used then was "Unigram" - a UWP client for Telegram.
