So this has been a long issue that came up again wit a windows reinstall. There was a working solution for the second: opening the containing folder of a file in TC.
But I couldn't find one for the former, "opening a file within a folder" within TC. Which basically means opening the folder and selecting the file.
Opening the folder worked as expected, but when programs wanted to open a folder and select a file or files TC would still only open a folder. And after some timeout and explorer window would open as well showing the folder with the selected files. Meanwhile the program initiating this might have a frozen UI.
My only conclusion is that TC fails to handle it when the registry is set up this way. And after some timeout an explorer window is opened as a fallback.
So how can I get TC to correctly handle both cases?
Apps to verify with:
- foobar2000 - when using the "Open Containing Folder" context menu for playlist items.
- Potplayer - "Open Folder..." main window context menu item.
