open_file_commands not available anymore?

[Biff]

I cannot find open_file_commands anymore. And it does not seem to work anymore. What am I missing?

[void]

It was replaced with custom_open_commands

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please try the following:

• 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:
  command
• Select custom_open_commands.
• Set the value to:

open_file_commands: some extensions do not open?

Ah, super, works again! Thank you very much!

is deleted, not available anymore?

[void]

The old open_file_commands ini setting was removed.

custom_open_commands has the same functionality, plus a few extra things like adding to your context menu.

And there is no backup of it, I assume. OK, so there is no way to get my code back, I just have to add the programs / extensions again I added to that code here.

That is great, many thanks!

Yes.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Biff]

No, no, no need for apologies. Works great now

And besides, it just is an alpha version, so something like that (and even much worse) can happen, I guess.

You are responsible for backups of your files
What's the problem with it for Everything ?
There is only an Ini file and a few csv files to save.

[Biff]

Oops, well, yes, sometimes there is a lack of responsibility, indeed.

No no, no problem with it, one of the backups sometime just overwrote the one with the old ini file.

No no, no problem with it, one of the backups sometime just overwrote the one with the old ini file.

To avoid this I'm using ZPAQ which holds any number of versions.
It's also deduplicating, so only changed files will consume space.

[Biff]

OK, thank you, seems to be 7 years old.

OK, thank you, seems to be 7 years old.

What's the problem with the age ?
Do you think that software gets worse just by being many years old?
The compression algorithmen are tested and stable.
I use it together with a Total Commander plugin since Windows 7 and now in Windows 11
and have archived Gigabytes of files with it.

I am not sure, may be some does.

But I am afraid, I have some problems with command lines somehow.
