First of all, congrats for this great app !

Most of the time, I use everything to find a file and open it.
It would be great if the application could close / hide when I open the file.

Hope this idea will interest you.
Thanks :

To close "Everything" after executing a file or folder:

• Exit "Everything".
• Open the Everything.ini file in your "Everything" installation folder with notepad.
• Add the following line to the end of the Everything.ini:

• Code: Select all

  close_window_on_execute=1

• Restart "Everything".

An option to minimize "Everything" after executing a file or folder is on my "Things to do" list.

I'm interested in this feature too - but the ini setting is not enough for my need: from time to time I do want the search windows kept open even after I execute a file/folder; it's better to have a shortcut key for "open file/folder then closes Everything" (Shift-Enter maybe?)

My thoughts exactly. Shift-Enter should make the search window stay, and that's just like the Google Toolbar where shift-enter opens the result in a new window.

Thanks for the .ini tip.

I agree. Would be useful

I just realized I didn't say thanks...
A bit late but... thanks for the tip !
