Several problemes

[Horst12]

1. Open for dirs seems hardcoded for the Explorer
   and ignores the system wide setting for other file managers to handle directories.

2. It doesnt store the size if I resize its window

3. I see no way to increase the font size, it scales bad for a high res display

Seconding this. Great project and love the overall design, but it does interfere with my workflow a bit, as I use Total Commander in place of Windows Explorer. Standard Everything opens paths up in TC, as expected, while Everything.NET opens everything in Explorer. Not sure why, as every other app seems to respect my registry edits with regard to TC, so I'm assuming it must be something hard-coded in the app.

By the way, I don't have any issues with the scaling on HiDPI. I have very bad eyes and am using 225% scaling on my 3440x1440 screen, and everything is easily legible. Certainly more than standard Everything. Overall, though, sincere thanks for the project; my seared retinas could not appreciate it more.

On double-click it uses this command-line:

explorer.exe /n, /select, "file path"

This opens File Explorer with the given file selected. Is that the only explorer issue?

I believe so, yes. Ideally, it wouldn't hard code explorer.exe, but rather use the system call that File Explorer typically uses when you open a folder. I'm not sure what that system call is, but I can post a Registry edit I made to allow Total Commander totally to replace File Explorer for opening folders. It even opens folders in TC when I double-click them in File Explorer, so it should be manipulating the hook we're talking about. Not sure if it'll help, but here it is:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell]
@="open"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\open\command]
@="C:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.EXE /O "%1""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
@="open"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\open\command]
@="C:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.EXE /O "%1""

[stax76]

It's not just opening a folder, it opens a folder plus selects a file.

What I can do is letting the user customize the command line using macros.

I've about 10 projects, working on this one requires me to learn WPF and MVVM which is by no means easy. Sometime this or next year I will add it.

All the requrested functionality is already available in the Everything toolbar.
It has Dark theme and Rules with regular expressions what to start for which result.
Works perfect with Total Commander.
Its sitting in the Explorer taskbar.
Toolbar

Everything is important, but not important enough to put it in the taskbar. Also, it was never a good idea to load dotnet into the shell.
