I can open a bookmark with a command line option. For example, by executing this from the Windows 10 Run box
"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -bookmark "FW Maps"
Everything is launched with those search results. Very handy.
But how do I get several bookmarks displayed this way? Using the command line, the second and subsequent bookmarks just replace the first, in the same search window. I need them each in their own windows. Just like using Right click tray icon > New Search Window.
P.S. Still no sign of the sig added to my profile some hours ago. Is that facility broken?

Opening bookmarks from command line
Re: Opening bookmarks from command line
Haven't tired it, but ...
Everything -bookmark "good music "
Everything -newwindow -bookmark "pink floyd"
Everything -newwindow -bookmark "pipers at the gate of dawn"
If you need them all on a single line, join them with &&.
Everything -bookmark "good music "
Everything -newwindow -bookmark "pink floyd"
Everything -newwindow -bookmark "pipers at the gate of dawn"
If you need them all on a single line, join them with &&.
Re: Opening bookmarks from command line
Thanks, the simple version works fine. But I cannot get any of these to work
"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -bookmark "ABC" & "C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -newwindow -bookmark "XYZ"
"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -bookmark "ABC" && "C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -newwindow -bookmark "XYZ"
"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -bookmark "ABC" & -newwindow -bookmark "XYZ"
"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -bookmark "ABC" && -newwindow -bookmark "XYZ"
and other variations.
Can you give an example to at least ensure I have the syntax right please?
"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -bookmark "ABC" & "C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -newwindow -bookmark "XYZ"
"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -bookmark "ABC" && "C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -newwindow -bookmark "XYZ"
"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -bookmark "ABC" & -newwindow -bookmark "XYZ"
"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -bookmark "ABC" && -newwindow -bookmark "XYZ"
and other variations.

Re: Opening bookmarks from command line
The correct syntax is:
"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -bookmark "ABC" && "C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -newwindow -bookmark "XYZ"
What happens when you run this?
"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -bookmark "ABC" && "C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -newwindow -bookmark "XYZ"
What happens when you run this?
Re: Opening bookmarks from command line
Thanks, mystery solved! That was one of the variations I'd tried and it failed again on repeating just now. (Just displays the XYZ search results.) However, I then tried it from a proper Command Prompt window instead of the Run box - and it worked.
I've successfully been using the Run box for single searches, but it plainly baulks at multiples like this.
