[BUG][v1.5.1360a] Open Path Opens File Rather then path

[ByteNinja87]

If you select the path column without the text (empty space?) the file itself will open with used with "full row select option"
With Full row disabled the file itself will become highlighted or focused.
This behavior doesn't occur in stable version

By default, Everything will only open the path when you double click on the path text.
This was done to avoid accidentally opening the path instead of the item.
(It's not immediately obvious the cursor is over the path column)

To open the path anywhere in the path column:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  path
• Select path_hit_text_only.
• Set the value to: false
• Click OK.

I did experimental with highlighting the item in the path column when under the cursor.
Unfortunately, it wasn't very well received.
I will review this again in Everything 1.6.

This fixed it! thanks for the swift assistance.

Just making a note here..

Everything 1.5.0.1384a will now disable path_hit_text_only by default.

To open the path when double-clicking on the text only:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  path
• Select: path_hit_text_only
• Set the value to: true
• Click OK.
