1.5 Alpha opens new Total Commander windows instead of tab in existing one

[thanksforeverything]

Up until Version 1.4.1.1005 (x64) adding these 3 lines in everything.ini

open_folder_command2=$exec("c:\totalcmd64\TOTALCMD64.EXE" /O /T /L="%1")
open_file_command2=$exec("c:\totalcmd64\TOTALCMD64.EXE" /O /T /L= "%1")
open_path_command2=$exec("c:\totalcmd64\TOTALCMD64.EXE" /O /T /L= "%1")

resulted in when double clicking on a file in results, opened a new tab in an open instance of Total Commander
which is the desired behavior for me.
In 1.5 alpha the same action (same 3 lines in Everything-1.5a.ini) however result in opening a new instance of Total Commander
every time.

Thanks

Hi,

Everything.ini
alpha_instance=0

Reference: Disable 1.5a Instance

To use the Everything 1.4 SDK you will need to disable the "1.5a" instance.
This 1.5a instance will be removed when Everything 1.5 is ready for beta/release. ...

Sorry, I was wrong. Thanks to Horst.Epp!

There is no difference from version 1.4 to 1.5

The following are my entries and they open a new tab on the active side as they did with version 1.4.

open_folder_command2=$exec("C:\Tools\Wincmd\totalcmd64.exe" /o /t /s "%1")
open_path_command2=$exec("C:\Tools\Wincmd\totalcmd64.exe" /a /o /t /s "%1")

Thanks for the help.
Still not working for me.
For some reason there seems to be some different behavior between 1.4 and 1.5 in this respect.
I've copied the entries again and again but 1.5a still opens a new instance of total commander instead of a tab on the active panel of the existing instance.
Any further ideas would be very much appreciated.

What is Everything executing?

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, check Console.
• Open a folder.
• What is shown in the Debug console?

To close the debug console:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, uncheck Console.

$exec differences between Everything 1.5 and 1.4:
Everything 1.5:
Calls ShellExecute without an idlist
Converts really long paths to short paths.
Supports URLs and virtual paths

Everything 1.4:
Calls ShellExecute with an idlist.

Which version exactly are you using? -> Menu "Help" - "About Everything..."
Currently, Everything 1.5.0.1273a from 27.08.2021 is the latest version.

One of the first versions still had this problem.

Also: As the /O option (re-use existing/running Total Commander) is not being passed along, a new TC instance will be started.

Thanks for the debug output.

shellexecute (idlist)

This is an older version of Everything.

Please try the latest Everything 1.5 alpha.

Please try the latest Everything 1.5 alpha.

Thank you!
Installed 1.5.0.1273a.x64 and it works fine now.
By mistake I had installed Version 1.5.0.1238a.x64 thinking it was the latest version.

Also it seems that TC tab is opening faster somehow? Maybe I'm just too excited.
Switching to 1.5a as my everyday version.

Thank you again.
