Can't open new tab with everything

[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)")

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?

[haomin]

I have tried Everything (x86 edition)（original is 64-bit)
The result is the same（open a new window）

Everything is free & has portable edit (don't corrupt system)
sorry but I don't have xplorer2 professional so I cannot try it out!

For what it's worth, I cannot recreate this - folders opened from Everything (x64) will open in a new tab in x2-lite every time, regardless of how x2 is started (<Win+R> or a normal shortcut). It behaves the same using Lite or Professional.

Why are you manually running x2 on startup? Does the normal installer option ("Run x2 when Windows starts") not work for you? Or do you run your command from within a shell script or something (which may account for a second unintended instance)?
