How to open EXE location within from Everything SearchBar?

[Stamimail]

I know about
about:
and
shell:

but
shell:Everything
doesn't work.

[void]

Good idea, I'll add one to open the folder where Everything.exe is located.

For everyone else, these are search commands:
http://www.voidtools.com/support/everyt ... h_commands
http://www.voidtools.com/support/everyt ... wnfolderid

exist currently?
Consider also to add it to tray icon menu.

shell:Everything doesn't exist yet.

Adding a known shell folder requires modifying the system. Something I would rather avoid doing. It looks like it can be done manually by modify the registry and generating a GUID.

The following about search functions are in development:
about:exe -open the folder location of your Everything.exe that is currently running.
about:db -open the folder location where your Everything.db is stored.
about:home -search with the "home" settings

I'll consider adding an option to the tray context menu.
Thanks for the suggestion.

about:exe it's fine enough.

about:home - it seems it is already work for me (v969), though I'm not actually understand why a user need it. Home is already under Menu| View > GoTo (Alt+Home) , and a hotkey also can be set.
Maybe there is a planning to have an option to remove the menu bar...
In this case I would say to make search commands like the menu flow, something like:
about:View>GoTo>Home
menu:View>GoTo>Home
It's actually will require to make enabled both English and Local language for these commands.

If we comparing to a web-browser - web-browsers suggest a Home button for "the default search" - more correctly - HomePage button.
Tested in FIrefox, about:home gives me the Firefox about:newtab which is a different thing from the HomePage.
Maybe Everything "Home" should also be divided to:
1. Start Page - What is appearing at Everything launch (a special page of TopMost/Recent Searches and TopMost/Recent Run s, that will take the place of the results till the first type).
2. Default Search - Home Search (Alt+Home)


I also found in FIrefox:
about:about
list all the about: commands

[void]

I'm not too sure about:db will stick, this may end up showing the database statistics page.

about:home - it seems it is already work for me (v969), though I'm not actually understand why a user need it. Home is already under Menu| View > GoTo (Alt+Home) , and a hotkey also can be set.

The home search is basically a bookmark, and the about:home search is a built-in macro for this bookmark.
It might be useful if you have a home search and want to reference it quickly.

There will be an option to remove the menu bar.
You will be able to access the menu bar from right clicking the window caption or toolbar.

Tabs are still in development. I will try to mimic what most webbrowsers do: allow home to specify multiple tabs searches and support for customizing a new tab search.

Added to my TODO list: about:about should show all search commands.

Thanks for the suggestions.

More 2 commands I tried intuitively to get the about dialog:
about:?
about:help

Consider also to add it to tray icon menu.

2 commands I want to add to tray icon context menu are:
about:config (btw about:ini doesn't work)
about:exe

Is there a chance that users will have ability to add commands to tray icon context menu?

[void]

The next alpha update will have an about:? and about:help aliases for about:about

I will consider an about:ini alias for about:config

I will consider support for tray context menu customization.
Thank you for the suggestions.

I will consider an about:ini alias for about:config

I think I understand you.
about:ini can also be alias for about:ini-location
in similar way to
about:exe
about:exe-location

1. I think it's okay to do about:ini like about:ini-location, it does not matter so much, the user will get what he wants.
2. I see not all aliases are documented in about dialog
3. Consider to support trimming of spaces before and after " about: " , in case a user type about: command with spaces.

I will consider about:ini as an alias for about:ini-location.
Thanks for the suggestion.

2. I see not all aliases are documented in about dialog

I will document all search commands and aliases here:
Search Commands

I would like to keep the Everything Search Commands help basic.

3. Consider to support trimming of spaces before and after " about: " , in case a user type about: command with spaces.

I will consider allowing a space after about:
thank you for the suggestions.

I would like to keep the Everything Search Commands help basic.

I would prefer the full list (with a search in header). But if you want to make it basic (a short list of basic commands), put in about: dialog a link/url where the user can find the full list.

3. maybe better example:
"about:config "
" about:config"

[void]

I will consider showing all aliases.

I will consider relaxing the syntax. (ignore spaces)

Thank you for the suggestions.
