Short Summary

I just wanted to open a folder via the menu and it works, but why does the notification pop up every time if everything is successful?

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Create an action in the menu to execute a command
  2. Write the command: explorer.exe in the command field.
    Example:
    explorer.exe "C:\Server\jojo_14.23.1"
  3. Tick the checkbox to execute after closing the menu
  4. watch the exception pop up in the notification in Windows 11

Kando Version

latest version from the main branch

Installation Method

Via an installer downloaded from a release on GitHub

Desktop Environment

Windows

Environment Version

W11

Additional Information

Explorer opens simultaneously with the notification with a delay of 1-1.3 sec.
At the same time, the Explorer window itself opens behind the active one, and there is no focus after opening it, I have to unfold it via the taskbar

Thanks for the report, but that's a duplicate of #550.

TLDR; use start C:\Server\jojo_14.23.1

Yes it works fine, but as long as there is no space in the path. And unfortunately putting the path in quotes start "C:\Server\jojo_14.23.1\hello frend" instead of opening explorer just opens an empty window with cmd.

In this case you can use start "" "C:\Server\jojo_14.23.1\hello frend". Windows is weird.
