open path by clicking on full line or name

[harryray2]

Is there a way of opening the path rather than opening a file when clicking on either full line or name column?

I'm just experimenting with various options to solve my copy file to multiple folders.

Try changing the Open (Files) command:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Context menu tab on the left.
• Select Open (Files)
• Change command to:
  $exec("%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" /n,/e,/select,"%1")
• Select Open (Folders)
• Change command to:
  $exec("%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" /n,/e,/select,"%1")
• Click OK.

To restore the open commands:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Context menu tab on the left.
• Click Restore Defaults.
• Click OK.

A childfilelist1: search might help...

childfilelist1: will search for folders that contain any of the filenames specified in the child file list slot 1.

• Set the search to find your desired files (eg: ext:mp3 )
• Select all the files (Ctrl + A)
• From the File menu, click Copy Full Path to clipboard (Ctrl + Shift + C).
• Change the search to:
  childfilelist1:
• Hold down Ctrl and click the childfilelist1: text.
• Paste the filenames with Ctrl + V
• Click OK.
  ---Everything will now list all the parent folders from the previous search---
  Paste into all the selected folders with the multi-folder-paste option enabled.

Thanks, I'm already trying child: which is a good option as I can't highlight the folders column but my problem is I also want to list folders as well.

As you will see from the thread I've had some suggestions which I'm experimenting with.

Unfortunately childfilelist is to convoluted for what I want to do.

The file(s) I want to copy over change each time...It looks like I'll have to use child:screenshot.csv | nopath:folder:screenshot until the select path option is implemented.

Thanks anyway.
