When there are many search results, switching views via Postmessage is ineffective when called in the custom command.

[yahuu]

If the results are very few, it will succeed.
If there are many results, the view can switch normally if no files are selected or if one file is selected.
however, if multiple files are selected, there is a high probability that the switch will not be successful.

1. Search for *.pdf.
2. Switch to thumbnail view, and execute the following script separately to successfully switch Everything to detail view.

3. Set the following script as custom_open_command01 and assign the hotkey to F1.
4. Reset to thumbnail view, do not interact with the results list with the mouse, and press F1 to successfully switch to detail view.

BUG:
5. Reset to thumbnail view, select some files with the mouse, and press F1; the view does not change.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey <v2.0
#SingleInstance Force
#NoTrayIcon
#NoEnv

for _, exe in ["Everything.exe", "Everything64.exe"]
	if WinExist("ahk_exe " exe)
	{
		WinActivate
		break
	}

WinGetClass, evclass, A
PostMessage 0X111,40102,0,,ahk_class %evclass%

[void]

5. Reset to thumbnail view, select some files with the mouse, and press F1; the view does not change.

Unable to reproduce the issue my end, the view always changes to details.



Are you pressing F1 while still holding down the left mouse button?
-The F1 key press will be ignored while the left mouse button is down and you are selecting files.



custom_open_command01 is called for each selected file.
Unless you use %* in your command, then it is only called once.



What is your custom_open_command01 ?

It is shown under Help -> Troubleshooting information

Are you pressing F1 while still holding down the left mouse button?
-The F1 key press will be ignored while the left mouse button is down and you are selecting files.

Only pressed F1

[yahuu]

I recorded a screen video of the operation process.

Please try capturing a debug log:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Start debug logging...
• Reproduce the issue.
• From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Stop debug logging...
  ---This will open your %TEMP%\Everything Debug Log.txt in Notepad.
• Please upload this file in a bug report

Running as admin might be causing a communication issue with your script.
(Typically this would cause all communication to fail, not some..)

Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab on the left.
• Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
• Uncheck Run as administrator.
• Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
• Click OK.
• Exit Everything (from the File menu, click Exit).
• Restart Everything.

[void]

Thank you for the logs.

The logs show Everything executes the script.



One thing that might be causing an issue is the double quotes around %*
%* will automatically quote parameters.
So the double double quotes will end up cancelling each other out..

Please try the following commands:

$exec("%tcdir%\TOOLS\Scripts\EverythingResultSelToTC\111.ahk" %*)

$exec("%tcdir%\TOOLS\Scripts\EverythingResultSelToTC\EverythingResultSelToTC.exe" 2 %*)

Does the issue persist?

[yahuu]

The command was used. The problem still exists.

Code: Select all

$exec("%tcdir%\TOOLS\Scripts\EverythingResultSelToTC\test.ahk" %*)

In thumbnail view, when selecting multiple files and pressing a hotkey once, the focus jumps to the address bar, and the actions for switching views and minimizing EV are not executed.
When selecting multiple files again and pressing the hotkey, the action is executed successfully.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey <v2.0
#SingleInstance Force
#NoTrayIcon
#NoEnv

for _, exe in ["Everything.exe", "Everything64.exe"]
	if WinExist("ahk_exe " exe)
	{
		WinActivate
		break
	}

Please check if you have a duplicate F1 key binding:

In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:

about:keys

Search for F1

File | Custom Open 2 Alt+F1 (Result List)
Help | About Everything Ctrl+F1 (Global)

The script is unlikely to work as you are posting the message to the active window.
Even though you activate Everything, Everything might not be the active window in your PostMessage call.



Please try the following script:

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey <v2.0
#SingleInstance Force
#NoTrayIcon
#NoEnv

for _, exe in ["Everything.exe", "Everything64.exe"]
	if WinExist("ahk_exe " exe)
	{
		WinActivate
		break
	}

PostMessage 0X111,40102,0,,ahk_class EVERYTHING

(Changed class to EVERYTHING)

[yahuu]

Solved, thank you very much!
