Everything and Total Commander

[thanksforeverything]

Hi! My problem is this:
For every version of Everything after version 1.2.1.371 (stable) I cannot make Everything search results (files or folders) open in Total Commander which I use and love
in conjuction with Everything. In version 1.2.1.371 everything worked fine after adding these lines in everything.ini:

explore_folder_command=$exec("%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" /n,/e,"%1")
explore_folder_path_command=$exec("%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" /n,/e,/select,"%1")
open_folder_path_command=$exec("c:\totalcmd64\TOTALCMD64.EXE" /O /T "$parent(%1)")
open_file_command=$exec("c:\totalcmd64\TOTALCMD64.EXE" /O /T /L="%P" "%1")
open_folder_command=$exec("c:\totalcmd64\TOTALCMD64.EXE" /O /T "%1")

In newer versions the program seems to ignore the above lines.
I've tried adding them both to the installation folder (everything.ini) and the (newer?) %AppData% ini file with no success.
Any help is welcome.

P.S.
Congratulations to the developers of Everything!
It's a wonderfull piece of software!

Found it!
Sorry for being so dumb, but I had no idea that Context menu command can be (probably must be!) entered through
the Options Menu! Super easy and convenient.

For anyone else wondering go to Tools->Options->Context Menu and enter the command
to the box at the bottom. For me this was

$exec("c:\totalcmd64\TOTALCMD64.EXE" /O /T /L="%1")

for the Open Folders, Open Files, Open Path

which opens a new tab on the *Left* panel and focuses on the File (when Opening Files).

Again thanks for your wonderful software!

Hi Elias.
I tried that.
My tc program
Actually ultra prime version is on my h drive
So I typed
$exec(h:\Program Files (x86)\TC UP\TCUP.exe)/O /T /L="%1")
I put into the open files/open folders/open path of the context.
But when i try to open a folder, i get "windows cannot find H:\program

[therube]

Put the path in quotes.

Thank you
I tried
$exec("h:\Program Files (x86)\TC UP\TCUP.exe" /O /T /L="%1")
but get the message that windows can't find the path

[therube]

If you go to a C: prompt & type:

Code: Select all

C:\>  "h:\Program Files (x86)\TC UP\TCUP.exe"

What happens?

[therube]

I'm not sure just what "ultra prime" is, likewise, "TCUP.exe", but if its a "shell" then maybe the parameters it can accept, if any, are going to be different from what "Total Commander" aka "TOTALCMD.EXE" accepts?

[irish]

tcup is short for total commander ultra prime.
It;s total commander with more bells and whistles

I opened a dos window in c drive
copied and pasted
"h:\Program Files (x86)\TC UP\TCUP.exe"

the program opened.

[therube]

Likewise, what does this do?

Code: Select all

C:\>  "h:\Program Files (x86)\TC UP\TCUP.exe" /O /T /L="C:\WINDOWS"

Also try C:\WINDOWS\ (with the closing slash) or some other directory that you may have available.

[irish]

"h:\Program Files (x86)\TC UP\TCUP.exe" /O /T /L="C:\WINDOWS
opened total commander

C:\WINDOWS\ "h:\Program Files (x86)\TC UP\TCUP.exe" /O /T /L="C:\WINDOWS"

opens windows explorer

[etc]

I tried
$exec("h:\Program Files (x86)\TC UP\TCUP.exe" /O /T /L="%1")
but get the message that windows can't find the path

Not sure, but did you try:

Code: Select all

$exec("h:\Program Files (x86)\TC UP\TCUP.exe" /O /T /L="""%1""")

When you need a " within the parameter string, use """.

By the way, the CMD window also accepts file/folder drag-dropping.

[etc]

Sorry, wrong.
Might should be:

Code: Select all

$exec("h:\Program Files (x86)\TC UP\TCUP.exe" /O /T /L=""""%1"""")

[irish]

tried that in windows and Everything
Windows cannot find etc etc

Maybe it's time to call it a day on this one.

"By the way, the CMD window also accepts file/folder drag-dropping."
I'm not quiet sure how that would help. But thank you.

Most of the time it would be files I would looking for.
Of course the simplest thing would be if right clicking on a folder would give you the option to open a folder in TCup.

[etc]

All of us ignored Everything's tooltip...
So it should be:

Code: Select all

$exec("h:\Program Files $(x86$)\TC UP\TCUP.exe" /O /T /L="%1")

[therube]

Oh, '$(' & '$)', yep, the tooltip says that will be need if you use parens.

[irish]

Wow. that worked.
Thank you
and thank you everybody for your patience.
