Select .. then try to open with external application:

Re: Error Message when .. is selected instead of a file
you are right the error message is from HxD, but does it not appear in other FM:
JM using NP4, the file picker pops up: (undesired behavior)
another FM (this is how would expect it):

Re: Error Message when .. is selected instead of a file
In Free Commander you are using %ActivSel% param, ".." item can't be selected, that's why %ActivSel% is replaced with the empty string.
In JM focused item is used for %FULL%, %FILE% and %EXT params, ".." item can be focused, that's why ".." is passed to the target app.
Why focused item is used:
JM has two item selection modes: Explorer and NC style. In Explorer mode, all items except ".." are selected on click and can be used for the params, but in NC style mode, items are not selected on click, that's why focused item should be used, otherwise user should select item before invoking custom command.
I removed the use of ".." item when converting parameters. Will be in the next release.
