Every file I open is leaving a explorer.exe process running even after closing the file

Everytime I open a file using the plugin it leaves a Windows Explorer process running even after I close the file that was opening using the plugin. Hopefully this can be fixed ASAP as this is beginning to become a big problem as it eats up memory on my users machines.

Thanks for reporting.

I tested this to verify the behaviour and I'm also getting open processes after each click (see screenshot below, I think one process is always active but I'll double check).

Using start command instead of Explorer directly should fix this. So just the app binary needs an update. Extension needs no change.

I'll add the update later today. I have to modify two lines in this file

Changing like following should fix the issue:

fileExplorers = {
  "win32": {
    "open": r'cmd /c',
    "reveal": {
      "cmd": r'cmd /c explorer',
      "arg": r'/select,'
    }
}, ... }

Update 05.10.2018 I have a problem with creating the installer. The binary should work. Nothing pushed yet. But it should be ready today.
