Open (Folders) setting refinements

[meteorquake]

Currently I have Open (Folders) set to $exploreineverything("%1")
So I double-click a folder and it navigates there.

However there are some imperfections here that need resolving.

* The big one is that on double-clicking the folder I not only want it to navigate to the folder, but to clear the search bar, because if the folder is showing that invariably means any search bar entry is going to have been to find the folder and so needs to be cleared.
I have a bookmark calculation that does this with shortcut ( /command File | Explore in Everything
/command Search Edit | Clear ) but I would like to know how to do this by double-clicking the folder.
I would think it sufficiently common that it should have its own function $exploreineverythingandclearsearch("%1") if there isn't already such a thing.

* The minor issue is that I want the double-click folder to act but don't need the action in the right-context menu. In the option the settings are greyed out so "Do not show this item" cannot be chosen. If I could hide it I could just have the Open Path right-menu item which I use when I want to launch in Explorer.

Many thanks in advance!

Thank you for your feedback meteorquake,

I have put on my TODO list to review clearing the search when exploring for a folder.
I will consider an option to hide the open action for folder context menus.
Thank you for the suggestions.

For now, please try changing your explore command to:

$explore-in-everything("%1") $command(41203)

$command() was added in Everything 1.5.0.1388a
Command 41203 is clear the search edit.

Great - that works! and $command looks a good move.

* As an extra idea, when setting the context menu items I bet there are a couple of values that are very commonly used - so I think there could be a drop-list at the "Command" box ends that allow easy click-to-fill of those common values, with values appropriate to the chosen command.

* It may be sometimes you could do a poll to find out what values people are using for different boxes. I'm sure there are many users (such as myself) happy to manually submit their modified settings to help with such questions (it could give the modifieds as a plain text popup to post in, so people would preview what they are send, remove any lines they wish, then paste it in somewhere on a dedicated web page or directly click a send button).

Hovering over the command edit box gives a short list of commands.
I will consider a command editor where you can view all commands.
