new tab within QTTabBar

Post by Asuka »

First of all, thank you for the good program.

I am using the default Windows Explorer on Windows 10 Home with "QTTabBar 2048 Beta2."

When I used Everything version 1.5.0.1383a (x64), double-clicking the "Path" in the search results would open the location in a new tab within QTTabBar.

However, in versions released after that, it opens a new Windows Explorer window instead, which is inconvenient.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you for your feedback Asuka,

Opening a path was moved to a background thread in 1384a.

Please try disabling open_folder_and_select_items_thread:
  • In Everything 1.5.0.1384+, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Advanced tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    open
  • Select: open_folder_and_select_items_thread
  • Set the value to: false
  • Click OK.
Does the issue persist?

Thank you for checking open_folder_and_select_items_thread Asuka,

Could you please send a debug log when opening a path from Everything 1.5.0.1384+:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Start Debug Logging....
  • Double click a file in the path column. (to open the path)
  • From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Stop Debug Logging....
  • This will open your %TEMP%\Everything Debug Log.txt in your text editor.
  • Please upload this file in a bug report.

As you suggested, I have submitted a bug report.

I tested using the latest version, Everything-1.5.0.1404a.x64 (Portable).
With the default settings, I only changed `open_folder_and_select_items_thread` to false before testing.

Thank you.

Oops... I had been checking the latest version using the link below:
https://www.voidtools.com/everything-1.5a/

After being told it wasn’t the latest version, I searched again and found the following link:
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9787#download

I found Everything-1.5.0.1408a.x64 (Portable), and after testing it, I confirmed that it works properly regardless of the "open_folder_and_select_items_thread" option.

In conclusion, I apologize for the confusion, and thank you once again for your sincere and helpful response.
