Other programs can't open directories in Explorer++
Posted: Wed Sep 16, 2020 2:07 am
So, I decided to give letting Explorer++ takeover as my main explorer. however, I have ran into a problem that makes it unusable as a total replacement.
In other applications that have triggers to show a file in it's directory, or open a folder in explorer, Explorer++ just seems to look blankly into the distance and doesn't do anything.
I know the applications are handing the command over to Explorer++. This is because i set compatibility to administrator to see if the program is even called. When I click "Show in folder" in New Edge; "open outside" on a folder in 7zip or "Open File Location" in Task Manager, I get a UAC prompt to allow Explorer++ to run as administrator. However, E++ does not open and just fails silently.
If anyone can help regarding this problem i would be greatly thankful.
Explorer++: v1.4.0.1637 beta (64-bit build)
OS: Windows 10 Pro (2004) Build 19041.450
Logs: I can't find any logging options. Will need help locating debug data.
