Opus is, of course, set to replace Windows Explorer.
From within some application, whilst using right click open path/explore path, I would like that to be performed by Windows Explorer, instead of Opus.
Within that application, to open or explore path, the instruction reads:
$exec("%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" /n,/e,/select,"%1")
that obviously brings up Opus, in which case Opus left the position where it was initially.
So, for example, Opus was in x:\folder\subfolder, but then, when r-click opening path (above)
it will jump to some other folder, say z:\other folder.
Note, the 'back'-button within Opus does not work then, i.e. I can't jump back to where Opus left off.
But I would like Opus to stay in the x: folder, instead of jumping to another folder.
The only way I see it is to have the 'actual' Windows Explorer opened, instead of Opus.
Unsure whether it is possible to launch a 2nd Opus using the above "$exec.." command, thus keeping the 1st in the x:\ folder.
If you just want to ensure you don't lose where you were in Opus, and don't need Explorer itself and would rather use Opus than Explorer, then you could open a new tab instead of making the current tab change folders.
The easiest way to do that is to turn on the Preferences option near the bottom of the Explorer Replacement page.
Many thanks indeed!
This will save me a lot of time.
So far, I always had to return to the folder where I came from with a number of clicks, set the view to images (because that was the view I usually am in when doing specifically this action), then go down to the point where as was. This organizing, storing new files in their respective folders, is a quite a regular happening, therefore boring (=frustrating) having to browse to the starting folder, setting view, etc.
Whilst doing this, actually, all the time I eh .. ahum... didn't pay attention to the tabs at the bottom of the right window panel: never used them. Again, thanks for pointing out.
