Describe "no longer work" ...

Tested (v1385a) with the following, which is basically your setting with different paths (to programs that exists my system):
Context menu entry Irfanview opens .jpg files
Context menu entry MPC-HC64opens opens .jmp4 files
Context menu entry TC opens opens .7z files

Code: Select all

[{"name":"IrfanView","type":"2","filter":"*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.psd","command":"$exec(\""C:\\Tools\\voidImageViewer.exe"\" \"%1\")"},{"name":"MPC-HC64","type":"2","filter":"*.mp4;*.mov","command":"$exec(\"C:\\Tools\\vlc\\vlc.exe\" \"%1\")"},{"name":"TC","type":"2","filter":"*.7z;*.zip","command":"$exec(\"C:\\Program Files\\7-Zip\\7zFM.exe\" \"%1\")"}]

I will consider saving the table editor column positions and widths.

I will also consider making these columns auto fit when first shown.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I'm very sorry, I mistakenly assumed that, for example, double-clicking on a .PSD file in Everything would open it in IrfanView
(In Total Commander there is such a function ... and that confused me).

In Everything, opening a .PSD file with the setting in Advanced > custom_open_commands works via the context menu.
I.e. the CODE is still VALID!

Remove the name or add a duplicated name-less entry:

Everything will use the name-less command as the default command. (open)
Otherwise, the command is shown in the right click context menu.

Wow, I removed the name “IrfanView” ("name":"",...) from the code and it immediately worked as follows:

Code: Select all

[{"name":"","type":"2","filter":"*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.psd","command":"$exec(\"C:\\totalcmd\\Tools\\IrfanView-portable-64bit\\IrfanView\\i_view64.exe\" \"%1\")"},{"name":"MPC-HC64","type":"2","filter":"*.mp4;*.mov","command":"$exec(\"C:\\Program Files $(x86$)\\K-Lite Codec Pack\\MPC-HC64\\mpc-hc64.exe\" \"%1\")"},{"name":"","type":"2","filter":"*.7z;*.zip","command":"$exec(\"C:\\totalcmd\\Totalcmd64.exe\" /O /A /S \"%1\")"}]

1. Double-clicking the .PSD file in Everything 1.5.0.1385a (x64) opened the file in IrfanView.
2. Right-clicking   the .PSD file in Everything 1.5.0.1385a (x64) and clicking the “Open” context menu item also opened the file in IrfanView.

Thanks for the tip!

I tried the “-or-” option, hoping that “IrfanView” would appear in the context menu
(and a .PSD file could also be opened by double-clicking in IrfanView). Unfortunately, so far without success.

I tried these three variations, but I couldn't get the “IrfanView” context menu entry to appear:

Anyway, there's a curly bracket missing in your first JSON, second entry:

,"name":"IrfanView","

should be:

,{"name":"IrfanView","

So try the following instead:

Is there a way to pass all of the results to the command, as opposed to all of the selected files? I going through a workflow where the search results in a small number of files (2 to 10 files as an example). And then I want to run a command against all of the files in the search results.

[void]

Use

%*

instead of

%1

%*

is replaced with all the selected filenames (space separated)
With

%*

, the command is executed only once.

[dedupeit]

Hey void, thanks for the response. I was actually asking if there was a way to send the list of results as opposed to just the selected files. But I'm using a number of tools to automate my workflow and I've got this taken care of using a different approach

BTW, I keep creating things using my suite of tools only to find out that you've already built it into Everything! There so much this does that I don't think I'll ever know it all. Thanks for the great work!

[void]

Everything 1.5.0.1388a improves custom open commands.

type has been replaced with include_folders and include_files.
description has been added and is shown in the status bar when you hover over this command in the context menu.

Context menu commands have also been improved in this version.

[Ralf_Reddings]

Am trying to build a custom open command for mpv video player.
I have figured out most things thanks to this thread, am wondering if this is possible with custom commands.
I would like to as well passing the full file path to a command line tool, also pass a everything property to the belonging to the same file.

For example in my everything I have two video files that have a custom property called

timestamp

(achieved via

custom_property0

ini);
I would like to define a custom command that when run will open the selected file in a MPV video player, as if I manually typed in PowerShell/cmd;

Code: Select all

mpv "c:\videoA.mp4" --start=00:03:40

--start=

is a flag belonging to MPV, I would like to pass it the files

timestamp

property. I tried the following everything "command" valu, it worked but the timestamp here is hardcoded;

Code: Select all

$exec("mpv" --start=00:03:40 "%1")

How can I dynamically pass the files

timestamp

property to

$exec()

?


interestingly enough, I tried a snippet that void shared as a solution with someone above, and it worked, I MPV received a jpg file, so can

$exec()

recieve any everything property too?

Code: Select all

$exec("mpv" \"<remove-extension:%1>.jpg\")

am on

Version 1.5.0.1399a (x64)

[void]

Please try:

$exec("mpv" --start=$customproperty0: "%1")

$customproperty0: is replaced with the timestamp.
It will be blank if the timestamp unknown.
-If that is an issue, use:

$exec("mpv" <iflen:$customproperty0:,"--start="$customproperty0:> "%1")

[Ralf_Reddings]

thank you void, that was all i needed. also i was able to confirm that using the non-cononical name works too;

Code: Select all

$exec("mpv" --start=$customproperty0: "%1")      #works!
$exec("mpv" --start=$timestamp: "%1")            #works too!

[Ralf_Reddings]

Regarding

$exec()

, I noticed that a console window is shown (along with whatever window i asked to be opened, such as mpv)
is there a way to explicitly tell

$exec()

to not show a console window at all?

As a test I tried to get a solution working by calling pwsh with

-WindowStyle hidden

;

[code]$exech(pwsh -NoProfile -WindowStyle hidden -Command mpv %1)[/code]

but the console window is still shown for a  second and then hidden (I think by PowerShell)
even then launching pwsh is slow so it would be ideal to do this directly with

exec()

[void]

Please try executing mpv.exe directly:

$exec("C:\Program Files\mpv\mpv.exe" --start=$customproperty0: "%1")

[Ralf_Reddings]

I had no idea you could do that, this prety much puts an end to undesired console windows in everything and beyond... I think, very usefull to say the least.

Thank you void, you are a genius.

I wonder if somebody can help me construct a basic line to pass multiple files to a batch script. I'm not sure if the first post hasn't been updated, but I can't seem to get any of the code snippets to work. Here's a basic line showing what I'm testing:

Code: Select all

[{"name":"EXAMPLE","type":2,"filter"="*.mkv;*.mp4;","command"="$exec(\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Batch Scripts\\Convert Example.bat\" \"%1*\")"}]

I'm pasting that into Options -> Advanced -> custom_open_command01. Then I find a folder with an mkv file and try to open or right-click on it, but I don't see any text that says EXAMPLE.

This is using 1.5.0.1399a with Windows 11. Thanks.

[void]

Please try the

custom_open_commands

advanced setting.

Please use

%*

to pass all files to one call.

Code: Select all

[{"name":"EXAMPLE","type":2,"filter"="*.mkv;*.mp4;","command"="$exec(\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Batch Scripts\\Convert Example.bat\" \"%*\")"}]

[albino]

Thanks for the reply!

I didn't realize that custom_open_commands was its own thing with its own advanced settings, I thought you added each one to each command, so that makes a lot more sense.

One thing I noticed is a quirk with how Batch operates, where if you launch a batch file from Everything it has a different Current Directory than if you drag and drop onto the batch file or use something like Windows Send To. To test this, I made a very simple batch file that just spits out the current directory:

Code: Select all

@echo off

echo Current Directory is: %CD%

pause

If you drag and drop a random file into it you get the location of the file you dropped, similarly if you use the Windows Send To you also get the location of the file, however, if you use Everything's Custom Open Command you get the location of the .bat file.

For example, using D:\Folder\file.mkv the results are:

Code: Select all

Drag & Drop: D:\Folder
Send To: D:\Folder
Everything: C:\Program Files (x86)\Batch Scripts

Other than that, this is a really cool feature. It could almost completely replace Send To if you could nest a bunch of things into a cascading submenu, especially because you can dial down to specific file types unlike Windows giving you way more flexibility.

[void]

however, if you use Everything's Custom Open Command you get the location of the .bat file.

I cannot change this behavior.
To many scripts depend on the bat location being the current working directory.

I recommend making your bat file set the current working directory to the parent location from %1.

Everything 1.5.0.1407a removes the need to use $exec(...)

You can now specify commands as your would in the registry, eg:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n,/e,/select,"%1"

$exec(...) and other $functions() will continue to work.
