Using Everything like a normal File Manager

Post by polarity »

Hey folks,
I'm enjoying using Everything, and it serves me well.

But sometimes, I just want to dive into and out of directories like I used to in Windows Explorer and see the contents. Double-click in, ".." or "up arrow," double-click out.

At the moment, double-clicking in Everything opens the regular Windows Explorer (which I don't like), and diving into a subdirectory in Everything requires me to right-click and choose "open in Everything 1.5" somewhere down the list.

I also tried using the "Folders" sidebar, but it doesn't really work well with the concept of Everything (it adds to the search query).

Is there any way to get this kind of behavior in Everything without using key commands?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your feedback Robert,

Everything is not a file manager.

I am considering an option to expand folders inline. (click a + on the left of a folder in the main result list to show the subfolders/files)



Explore in Everything when opening a folder
