The list of results holds a column of names of, say, 1,000 images files housed across, say, 100 folders.
The list of results holds as well a column of folder names (paths) for each image file.
Everything sees/thinks of each image file as having a name AND a path (as in "Full Path"), so when I draw Everything's attention to a specific image file, I am drawing attention to a full path, which means a folder path and a file name.
Consequently, when I ask Everything to do some things with this image, and the target application already contains the ability to process all files in that folder, then the application will go ahead and process all files in that folder.
That is why a file (selected by me) that sits in a folder with five other files can be processed as a set of six files.
There is probably a better explanation, but that's the best I can do right now.
Thank you to all who participated.
Cheers, Chris
