Double click on "Parent Name" text doesn't open the respective folder

Post by damasd »

Hello!

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but I realized that if I double click on it, the folder doesn't open but instead opens the associated file.

Is there maybe a way to open the parent folder also when clicking on the "Parent name" text?

I'm already using the "Open path with double click on path text" with the Path column, but I hoped that also the "Parent name" could work in the same way.

anyway, thanks for this awesome software!

Thank you for your feedback damasd,

I will consider an option to open the path when double clicking on the parent name text.

Thank you for the suggestion.



To always show the parent name text in the Path column:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Advanced tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    ellip
  • Select path_ellipsis.
  • Set the value to: true
  • Click OK.
path_ellipsis



To always show the parent name text first in the Path column:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Advanced tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    narrow
  • Select path_narrow.
  • Set the value to: true
  • Click OK.
path_narrow
(overrides path_ellipsis)



Press Ctrl + Enter to always open the path instead of the file.

Right click the file and click Open Path.
