System Variable Error under a Remote Connection Environment

Post by rdpbug »

It seems that Everything v1.3.x introduced a bug under a remote desktop connection environment, in which the system variable %SystemRoot% is not correctly resolved.

Here's how this bug appears:

First connect a certain server on which RDP runs. Try to search something randomly on that server but make sure here are some folders in your result. Right click a folder from the result list and choose 'Open Path' and here comes the bug which says something like ‘Windows cannot find c:\users\[username]\windows\explorer.exe' . It seemed that that current user path was added when interpreting %SystemRoot%.

After all, it’s definitely OK when opening the path of any searching result locally and what's more, version 1.2.x does not have this kind of issue both locally and remotely, which has been verified.

I'm not quite sure other system variables are correctly resolved or not. FYI, my server runs a Windows 2008 r2 64bit OS which obviously could not be the root cause.

Thanks for the bug report.

Everything 1.2 uses the same %SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe command.
There must be something wrong with the way this is expanded in 1.3.

Could you please send the debug output when opening a folder?

Here's the result after
1) running Everything.exe -debug
2) typing 'cde' in the search bar
3) tring to open a random folder '@abstractcicdecim' located in 'C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2011a\toolbox\dsp\filterdesign\@mfilt\@abstractcicdecim'

Code: Select all

Thanks for the debug output, I have found the problem.

Everything expands %systemroot% on its own for compatibility (GetWindowsDirectory)

Unfortunately, this is expanded to the current user folder on certain Windows OSes.

I will post a fix soon.
