WSL/WSL2recommended for the terminal- Works on
bash,zsh,ksh,mksh,yash,tcsh,fish
- Works on

Note Highly recommend using x64 binary on Windows 10 64bit edition.
x86 binary is also work, but access to the WSL path (\\wsl$\...) from
32bit process is unstable. (Related? issue 4260 of microsoft/WSL)
Note It is also distributed for Windows 10 ARM / ARM64. But I do not have those platforms. So it has not been tested at all.
Extract the zip file to any directory and set to your shell's profile.
Note Require to enable Launch folder windows in a separete process in
Explorer -> File -> Change folder and search options -> View
-> Advanced settings.
Change the following line to the appropriate path and add it to your shell's profile under your home directory.
eval "$(sh "/path/to/eopen-ecd/init.sh")"[Profile] bash: .bashrc, zsh: .zshrc, ksh: .kshrc,
mksh:, .mkshrc, yash: .yashrc
eval `sh "/path/to/eopen-ecd/init.sh" tcsh`[Profile] tcsh: .tcshrc
eval (sh "/path/to/eopen-ecd/init.sh" fish)[Profile] fish: .config/fish/config.fish
Change the following line to the appropriate path and add it to your PowerShell's profile.
. "/path/to/eopen-ecd/init.ps1"To edit profile, type notepad $PROFILE in PowerShell.
Note Require to change PowerShell execution policy.
(Google Set-ExecutionPolicy).
Change the following line to the appropriate path and add it to profile.bat
(or favorite name)
@call \path\to\eopen-ecd\init.batLoad it to Command Prompt. (For example, use cmd /k profile.bat)
The ebridge.exe is helper module that operate shell (Explorer) via
COM Automation. All scripts are thin frontend of the ebridge.exe.
Require to install Visual Studio 2019 to build. (Free Community Edition is enough.)
To build, the following steps after installation of Visual Studio 2019
- Run
Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019from the start menu - Goto project root directory
- Run
build.bat <TARGET...>(TARGET:x86,x64,arm,arm64) - Generate archive files to the
distdirectory.
Or double click ebridge.sln in the src directory to launch Visual Studio IDE.
None, should be do.
The formerly name of this project was ecd that was started to port
the fcd for macOS to Windows.
The core module was written with PowerShell script. Early version of
ecd and eopen were relies on the script. It was a bit slow (about 400ms-).
So I rewrote the core module as native by VC++.
And eopen, which has many features, has been changed to the main.
