          "chain_links": [
            {
              "action_name": "Open With",
              "action_settings": {
                "allow_multiple": true,
                "args": "-d",
                "path_opt": "folder",
                "path_sep": ";",
                "path_to_binary": "C:\\Program Files\\Mythicsoft\\Agent Ransack\\AgentRansack.exe",
                "use_default_app": false
              },
              "comment": ""
            }
          ],
          "refresh_gui": true
        },
        "image": "",
        "menuText": "Search with Agent Ransack",
        "subMenu": ""
      },

This works in command prompt:
"C:\Program Files\Mythicsoft\Agent Ransack\AgentRansack.exe" -d "D:\Test1";"D:\Test2"

The action works if multiple selections is disabled.

Note that nothing appeared in Ransack's error log (it does if I send it a -d with no paths).

EDIT: Debug log:

ANOTHER EDIT: Here's another debug log of opening a file with "multiple selections" turned off.

The feature is experimental for different reasons, one of them is that I cannot cater to every possible program and every possible OS. I do not use Windows so I cannot debug this particular program.

However, from looking at your debug, one possible problem is that I did not account for program paths with spaces (missed this because it does not happen on linux). The version I will post later today will correct this by double quoting the program we are calling. If this does not help, I cannot offer much assistance with this.
