Looks pretty good @abdonkov, thanks! I've pushed a small change to add support for the syntax files.exe -select c:\users\smth\documents\file.docx which is easier and more closely resembles explorer's.

Yeah that looks great, more options is always better :)

This works but only on small folder with few files, on my Download folder which contains hundreds of files it just open the folder but doesn't select the file... (please fix)

@neoOpus could you confirm whether the file gets selected, the issue actually being that the list does not scroll down to it?

You are right, it gets selected but doesn't scroll to it.
