open path and do not close Everything.

[harryray2]

I have 'open selection and do not close everything' set, can I do the same when choosing open path from the menu or the context menu?

[raccoon]

Go to Options -> General -> Results -> and uncheck "[] Close window on execute"

[harryray2]

Thanks, but that's not the issue.
I have minimize_on_close set. What I'm after is a way of using a hotkey similar to the ctrl+enter used for 'open selection and do not close Everything'

[raccoon]

Ok, well it's weird because when I "open selection" or "open path" my Everything does not close nor does it minimize, it just stays put.

I'm sure if you uncheck the option I recommend, it will work the same way my copy does.

[harryray2]

No, it's nothing to do with that option (which is already unchecked). It's an .ini entry 'minimize_on_close'

[void]

I will consider a Open Path and do not Close Everything keyboard binding.

Thank you for the suggestion.


With minimize_on_close enabled, would you always like to not minimize Everything when opening paths?
-If so, consider changing your open command:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Context Menu tab on the left.
• Select Open (Folders)
• Change the Command to:
  $exec("%1")$minimize()
• Select Open (Files)
• Change the Command to:
  $exec("%1")$minimize()
• Click OK.

Note: This will now only minimize Everything when you open a file/folder.
If you Open Path or perform another action, Everything will stay opened.

Thanks, no, it's only every so often that I would like to keep Everything from being minimised when I'm opening a path(s), so a open path (and maybe explore path) keyboard binding would be great.
