Hello.
I can't send the name of a file or folder to the Everything 1.5 Alpha program.
Can this be done?

What do you mean exactly by "send to the Everything 1.5 Alpha program"? You can copy the name of a file/folder to the clipboard with Path Copy Copy and paste it into the program, I guess.

This should be done by the program itself from the context menu.
Another option is to copy the name to the clipboard and run VBScript or Bat, which will run Everything and paste the name from the clipboard into it.
I tried this combination, but the file name disappears from the buffer.

Perhaps what you're looking for is the option to launch an executable with the filename, available to custom commands:

If Everything 1.5 supports it, you could launch its executable and have the file name passed to it.

I did that.
Example:
Instead of the name "Thunderbird Setup 60.9.12"
The search bar will contain:
"C: \ Windows \ System32 \ Thunderbird" | "C: \ Windows \ System32 \ Setup " | "C: \ Windows \ System32 \ 60.9.1"

It sounds like your path is missing quotation marks. Try asking Path Copy Copy to add them (it's also an option available to custom commands) and see if it fixes the issue.

The path to any name from anywhere in the search is appended: C: \ Windows \ System32
"C:\Windows\System32\Thunderbird Setup 60.9.1.exe"

I don't know why that is. That's a question for the maker of the Everything program...
