Feature Request:Double clicking on a folder to navigate to that folder

[vsub]

Maybe just an ini option
When the folder sidebar is opened,double clicking on a folder in the result panel will act as if you click on the same folder in the tree and expand the tree the same way as if you click on it

It feels faster than expanding folders one by one
I know I can do that with Autohotkey but I have to block left clicking and executed commands based on what I am clicking

[void]

In the latest Everything 1.5 alpha there is a right click -> 'Explore in Everything' option that does this.

The 'Explore in Everything' context menu item is only shown when the folder sidebar is shown.



To open folders in Everything instead of Explorer:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Context menu tab on the left.
• Select Open (Folders)
• Change the command to:
  $exploreineverything("%1")
• Click OK.

To open paths in Everything instead of Explorer:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Context menu tab on the left.
• Select Open Path
• Change the command to:
  $explorepathineverything("%1")
• Click OK.

I will consider a separate setting to open folders in Everything with a double click.
Thank you for the suggestion.

Nice,works fine,thanks
And btw,I am missing something I cannot go back to the previous location when I use my mouse Browser_Back\Browser_Forward(x1\x2)buttons
Is that possible only for search history

[void]

Back / Forward currently only works for search history.

I hope that I can use backward/forward to navigate folders,not only search history

Sometimes I need open path in explorer,but I can't find "open path in Explorer" in context menu.

• Go to Menu:Tools > Options > General > Context Menu
• From the Context menu items: list, select Explore Path
• Change the Settings for Explore Path context menu item to Show this item
• Click the OK button
• Done!

I see this request is a couple years old but did this ever get implemented? Being able to double-click a path in the path column to make it the current path in Everything would be helpful.

Edit: I did just find the File | Search Path in Everything keyboard mappable option so I mapped ALT-Down to that. But I don't see a way to map ALT-Up to mimic explorer and be able to set the parent folder to be searched in Everything. I see a Results List | Parent | Search in Everything option but nothing happens when I use the hotkey I set for it, so maybe I don't understand the option.

I agree... it's very rare I want to open a folder in explorer, if I do that can be done with a right-click, Open
So it would be a huge productivity assist with the folder bar so settled in for people, if double-clicking a folder navigated to it in Everything, and as the thread suggests, this could be a setting

[NotNull]

To test (preferably in a new Everything instance):

• Go to Menu => Tools => Options => Conetxt Menu
• Open (Folders) => $exploreineverything("%1")
• Open Path => $exploreineverything("%1")
• Explore : Show this item
• Explore Path : Show this item
• Click the OK button

Result :
- double-clicking a folder in the resultlist opens Folders sidebar in that folder
- Doubleclicking in the Path column (of a file or folder) opens that path in the Folders sidebar
- Alt-Up goes one level up.
- Open files/folders in Explorer through the context menu (Explore / Explore Path)

There is no "back button" as Everything does not keep track of that information.



Sidenote:
Everything is primarily a search program. File browsing features are a nice extra, but don't expect/demand Everything to become a full blown file manager. There are other tools for that. Even with Everything integrated.

Many thanks!
Open (Folders) => $exploreineverything("%1")
worked well, but I left "Open Path" as it was, so that it can be used to open the folder in Explorer if ever needed.

From what I looked at of Total Commander the other day, it seemed to me a huge step backward from using Everything for tasks. I'll aim to look at the others though.

Whatever suits you best.

Explorer can still be opened through the context menu btw:

- Open files/folders in Explorer through the context menu (Explore / Explore Path)

I try to stay out of file manager discussions (just like favourite sportsclub or religion: it will not change anyone's preference or opinion), but I see what you mean.

FWIW: The search program/ file browser remark was a more general one, mainly aimed at others reading this discussion.

Just out of interest: What are you talking about here
There have been other contributions to your post here (e.g. from horst.epp: "What are you missing ?") without any reaction from you.

By the way, I am far from trying to convince you of anything.
I'm just interested in what bothers you about the Total Commander integration of Everything or what you think could be improved.

Everything is still a search tool and not a full file manager.
But there is no problem to have the benefit of both using Everything integration in Total Commander or Directory Opus.
