Pressing Enter key on selected files in Plain View mode omits files from a subfolder

#1 Post by Forez » 07.10.2022, 17:43

How to recreate this bug:

#1] Create folder X

#2] Create sub-folder Y in X

#3] Copy some PDF file to folder X

#4] Copy some other PDF file to sub-folder Y

#5] Navigate back to folder X

#6] Switch to Plain View mode by pressing CTRL+B - you should see now both PDF files

#7] Select both PDF files any way you like

#8A] Press Right Mouse Button and select opening / viewing option of PDFs in your PDF reader from the context menu - you should get a warning about opening too many files at once; after accepting which you should see both of the PDF files opened for viewing

[and now go back to point #7 and then]

#8B] Press Enter on the keyboard - you should see no warning; and only this PDF will be become opened which is residing in the main folder i.e. in X



I am using FreeCommander version 861 32-bit public on Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 19042.746 x64 with PDF-XChange Viewer 2.5.322.10

I tested some other file formats and programs, both installed ones and portables - and I got all kinds of results. There is just no consistency, either on the aforementioned version or the new one [880 32-bit public]

Sometimes pressing Enter works A-OK, while other times I get even various opening-of-files-related errors from programs

Also: changing my settings to

Tools > Settings > View > File/folder list > General > By ENTER on multiple selected files > Open all selected items directly

did not help
