Go to folder in folder view with command line

Post by vsub »

Is that possible?
Instead of sending the folder location to the search bar,is it possible to go to that folder in the folder tree view with a command line

Code: Select all

everything64.exe   -explore "X:\some folder"
-explore

See also -explore-expand and -explore-sub-folders on that same page for further finetuning.


EDIT: There is currently a bit of a glitch when running the command above while an Everything window (without folder sidebar) is already opened: the content of the folder sidebar will not show until the mnouse hovers above it.

Not sure what you mean but it works fine here
everything64.exe -explore "some path"

With and without the sidebar active,everything appears,the sidebar also opens if it's not and I see all of the files in the folder
I also tried exiting everything and it also works fine

Btw thanks for the command line(this one is missing in Help=>Command Line Options)

This is what I see before moving the mouse above the folders sidebar:

That is good to know; thanks for testing!

On further inspection: probably an issue on my side; couple of pinned taskbar applications are invisible too due to a missing icon.

Please check your GDI objects in Task Manager.

Is something eating all these resources?

If there's no free GDI objects available (there's only a limited supply) then you will see White boxes like in your screenshot.



Please let me know if the issue persists.
