Well, then start TC with /R=<some_path> from Everything - see TC help, section 4.a) Command line parameters. No idea how to set that exactly because I don't use Everything.

Open (Folder) context menu entry in Everything:
$exec("c:\Tools\Wincmd\TOTALCMD64.EXE" /o /t /A /R="%1")
Adjust the path for your TC location and remove the /t if you don't want tabs.

With the current TC parameters it is in my opinion not possible to set the focus permanently/repeatedly in the right TC panel,
if you e.g. double click on different folders in 'Everything' and want to open them in the right TC panel (without TC being closed in between).

Code: Select all

/P= Sets the active panel at program start: /P=L left, /P=R right. Overrides wincmd.ini option ActiveRight=.
... does not bring the desired effect in this context...

However, it is possible to set the focus yourself e.g. with the TAB key in TC and to open a folder (double clicked in 'Everything')
in TC in the active window. See also here (comprehensive description).


EDIT:
I'm sorry for some of the observations I've made here.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

The emphasis in my contribution was on the term "focus"...

Yup, focusing the right panel with the cursor on the file which was clicked in Everything works just fine.

OK, thank you!

Unfortunately, I missed this constellation because I do not use the /T option,
to avoid having to close these open tabs somehow at some point.
F1 - Help, 4.a. Command line parameters wrote:/T Opens the passed dir(s) in new tab(s). ...
I must therefore correct my previous statement as follows:
1. ONLY if the /T option is selected with, it is possible to e.g. double-click on folders in 'Everything'
    to open it permanently/repeatedly in the right TC panel (without TC being closed in between).
2. WITHOUT the /T option the above said applies.

Try this:

Code: Select all

$exec("c:\path to\TOTALCMD64.EXE"  /O /A /R="%1" /P=R)

Yes, that's the solution!
Thank you very much for checking this!

(For example, I had also tested with parameter /P=R and other parameters, but without success.
This led me to the wrong conclusions).

The solutions of Horst.Epp and Hacker with parameter /T work too.
