Can't open new tab with everything

Post by haomin »

When I startup my computer
i will auto run
"C:\Program Files (x86)\zabkat\xplorer2_lite\xplorer2_lite.exe" /M

Then I use "Everything" --> Open Path
I have set setting below
$exec("c:\Program Files $(x86$)\zabkat\xplorer2_lite\xplorer2_lite.exe" "$parent(%1)")

ref.

But Everything always opens a new xplorer2 window, not a new tab
How can I just open a new tab, not a new xplorer2 window???

I have set below
Single window mode
-->Always open new tabs in a single window

BTW:
Once "Everything" opens a new xplorer2 window, the subsequent "open paths" from "Everything" will open in the same xplorer2 window in new tabs.

But , I still hope Everything opens new tab in xplorer2 window which it is run when i startup computer

perhaps you are using /P command line switch somewhere? This opens a new process and hence a new window
another possibility is using /S switch to open a different window layout?

I am sure, I don't use /P & /S

Might you can try it my way and you will find that what I say is true!
1. close all of xplorer2
2. press Win +r : "C:\Program Files (x86)\zabkat\xplorer2_lite\xplorer2_lite.exe"
3. Everything -> Open Path
4. It happens ( a new window is appeared)

sorry but I don't use Everything so I cannot try it out
could it be a 32/64 bit issue? have you tried xplorer2 professional?
