Everything No Longer Works with QTTabBar

[Jawpack]

I have Windows 10. I've used QTTabBar (the old version, as the new one doesn't work correctly with Win 10) seamlessly with Everything for many years. I would right-click on the file in Everything, then left-click on Open Path. It would open the folders (tabs) next to each other.

For example, I have almost all of my videos in folders backed up on 3 drives. If I need to add something to the folders, it makes it easier to access them in this way.

However, something happened many months ago after I updated it. I remember seeing a message about some programs being open, but I couldn't figure out which programs since none were actively open. The feature in QTTabBar with Everything hasn't worked since. Now the folders open in a new window separately instead of tabs side by side.

Strangely, Everything 1.5 Alpha was not affected and still works with QTTabBar.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Everything, but it still doesn't work properly. Is there anything I can do to get it working with QTTabBar again?

What did the developer(s) of QTTabBar have to say on the matter? After all, it's their code that changed.

If you're referring to why the newer version doesn't work, I think it's because it's more geared toward Win 11.

As far as Everything, something happened to Everything during the update. I think it could have been due to a program that was "running" during the process. Very strange, because as I said, I've run Everything for years with QTTabBar seamlessly.

I'm wondering if there is a way to 100% clear out any remnants of Everything left in the program files, etc.

1.5.0.1392a/1.4.1.1027 and later no longer load dlls from insecure locations as it is being abused.



To allow dlls from the program/dll directory:

• From the Start menu, search for:
  regedit
• Right click Registry Editor and click Run as administrator.
• In the Registry Editor, navigate to:
  
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies
• Create the following key:
  
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\voidtools
• Create the following key:
  
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\voidtools\Everything
• In this new key, on the right, create a new DWORD value.
• Set the value name to:
  os_allow_dll_exe_directory
• Set the value data to:
  1

Restart Everything (Everything -> File -> Exit)




To allow dlls from the current directory:

• From the Start menu, search for:
  regedit
• Right click Registry Editor and click Run as administrator.
• In the Registry Editor, navigate to:
  
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies
• Create the following key:
  
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\voidtools
• Create the following key:
  
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\voidtools\Everything
• In this new key, on the right, create a new DWORD value.
• Set the value name to:
  os_allow_dll_current_directory
• Set the value data to:
  1

Restart Everything (Everything -> File -> Exit)



Does QTTabBar open tabs from Everything as expected?

A very odd occurrence, but here's what happened. I followed your instructions, but it didn't work. I even deleted the 2nd set of Regedit entries "To allow dlls from the current directory:" thinking that using both entries might have caused a problem. I took a couple of screenshots to show you in case I did something wrong.

Before posting, I uninstalled the problem version and installed 1.3.4.686.x64 to see if that one would work. Surprisingly, it did not. After that, I decided to uninstall 1.3.4 and install 1.4.1.1030.x64.

Just for the heck of it, I checked, and it worked! The tabs open side by side. I assume the entries stayed even though I uninstalled it. I haven't gone back to check. It's strange to me that closing it out didn't work, but uninstalling kept the entries. However, 1.5 Alpha is somehow uninstalled! Don't know how that happened.

So now, I have some questions.

1. Should I enter the 2nd set of Regedit entries too? If I don't, will I be missing out on something?
2. If I install (Alpha) Everything-1.5.0.1404a.x64-Setup, will it cause either version (1.4.1.1030.x64) from working properly?

Please avoid adding the registry entries.

2. If I install (Alpha) Everything-1.5.0.1404a.x64-Setup, will it cause either version (1.4.1.1030.x64) from working properly?

Everything 1.5 alpha runs in its own instances and will not interfere with Everything 1.4
