What commands need to register in Everything to open a search in Directory Opus?

Help & Support

Hello!
Everything in Windows Explorer works fine.

  • With a double click on the path, it opens the path, highlighting the object.
  • With a double click on the name of it (opens, unpacks, launches):
  • if this folder opens it
  • if it is an archive then unpack it
  • If this is a video or text document, it opens
  • if .exe then runs
    The default settings are:

  1. Open (Folders)
    $exec("%1")

  2. Open (Files)
    $exec("%1")

  3. Open Path
    $openpath("%1")

  4. Explore
    $exec("%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" /n,/e,"%1")

  5. Explore Path
    $exec("%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" /n,/e,/select,"%1")

    Here's a video
    https://resource.dopus.com/uploads/default/original/3X/1/6/16cc99d5338179d3a8c338417ed1965f40870202.mp4
    I made the following commands:

  6. Tools > Options > Context Menu > Open (Folders) > Command
    $exec("C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopus.exe" "%1")

  7. Tools > Options > Context Menu > Open (Files) > Command
    $exec("C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopus.exe" "%1")

  8. Tools > Options > Context Menu > Open Path > Command
    $exec("C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopus.exe" "$parent(%1)")
    I tried these
    $exec("C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopus.exe" "%1")
    $exec("C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopus.exe" $parent("%1"))

But it does not work for me as in Windows Explorer (video above).
With a double click on the path, it does not select the object
With a double click on the name, not everything also works:

Does this have what you need?

Leo Thank.
I read this and I did the button too.

I would also like to know which commands in Everything should be written if, for example, the button is not used.
Here I still asked, but there is no solution yet.

For "open path" in Everything I use:
$exec("C:\Program Files\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /acmd Go OPENCONTAINER PATH "%1")

It opens a lister or tab and focuses the file passed.
All others are default as I have explorer replacement for Opus and it handles them correctly.
I hope this helps.

It helped me
Go to Menu> Settings> Customize Toolbars ...> Commands
plus click on User-defined Commands (xx)
in the first line after the header will be Add new User Command ..., click the right mouse button.
there will be a menu with paste, the following code should be inserted there.
The everything command will appear in the list (do not change the name, it will search for a command from the everything program)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<button backcol="none" display="icon" textcol="none"> 
   <label>everything</label> 
   <template>filepath,filename</template> 
   <icon1>#usercommand</icon1> 
   <function type="normal"> 
      <instruction>Go LASTACTIVELISTER</instruction> 
      <instruction>Go PATH="&amp;filepath&amp;" NEWTAB=deflister,findexisting</instruction> 
      <instruction>SELECT NONE</instruction> 
      <instruction>SELECT PATTERN="&amp;filename&amp;" DESELECTNOMATCH MAKEVISIBLE</instruction> 
   </function> 
</button>

go to settings everything
Tools> Options ...> Context Menu> Open Path> Command
insert the command Apply Ok

$exec("C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /acmd everything FILEPATH="$pathpart(%1)" FILENAME="$namepart(%1)")

Tha path to your dopusrt.exe is different from mine.
It's inside the dopus directory.
Fix it and it should work.

Why is the path correct?

Still:
SearchEverything: Getting Opus to work with Everything v4.0 SearchEverything v.4.0.0.0.rar
It is better to add this to your code, then it will always open in a new tab.

<instruction>Go NEWTAB</instruction>

it will turn out like this

<instruction>Go NEWTAB</instruction>
<instruction>C:\Program Files\Everything\SearchEverything.exe &quot;{dlgstring}&quot;</instruction>

FWIW

I have added:
$exec("x:\Directory Opus-path\dopusrt.exe" /acmd Go NEWTAB PATH "%1" tofront)

in my case:
$exec("D:\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /acmd Go NEWTAB PATH "%1" tofront)

under Everything > Options > Context menu > Explore Path

Go NEWTAB PATH "%1" tofront should be Go NEWTAB=tofront PATH "%1" in both cases.

Thanks Leo.
Maybe I was lucky, but how I -had- it, one way or the other, worked as well.
Corrected the everything settings.
Thanks again.

Question: Can
Go NEWTAB=tofront PATH "%1"
also be combined with:
Go NEWTAB=findexisting ?

Thanks.

13

Go NEWTAB=tofront,findexisting PATH "%1"

14

As always, many thanks indeed!

So, within Everything I have the following context menu items (involving Opus)

  1. Open Path:
    $exec("D:\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /cmd Go NEW PATH "%1")

  2. Explore:
    $exec("D:\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /cmd Go NEWTAB OPENCONTAINER=target "%1")

  3. Explore path:
    $exec("D:\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /cmd Go NEWTAB=tofront,findexisting PATH "%1")

They really work fine.

In 1 specific case (3 windowpanels with locked tree+folder) I would prefer Opus to start as, let's say, 'separate session', i.e. not as newtab, but Opus rather running twice so to say.

Q: would that be possible? I would then change, for instance, number 2 above.
(This avoids the warning "The two folders are no longer in sync. Return to the common folder to re-sync...." etc)

Thanks!
