"Open Containing Folder" does not work when Explorer++ is already opened

Post by Nojevah »

Confirmed in stable and latest dev build

In other applications like a browser (downloads window) or Audio player (element in a playlist), you can use the option "Show in folder" or "Open containing folder". These options open Explorer++, a new tab is created with the file folder location, so the location is OK, but the problem is:
File is not always selected.

- If Explorer++ is not opened, when using "open containing folder", it works, file is selected.
- If Explorer++ was already opened, then a new tab is created with right location, but file is not selected.

I know this problem has already been reported but maybe with these information, it will be easier to fix ?

Windows 11, 64 bits app.
