Hello,

I just make an action for open cmd on the directory of the selected file on listary, since I saw this on many posts on the forum of ppl asking it, it may be help somebody.

Make a new action and call it Open Bash Here (or any other name)  
On path write: %comspec%  
On arguments: /k cd “{action\_path:parent}”

Thats it, now you can assign it with a hotkey to make even easy to launch a cmd window on the directory of the selected file
