How to Compress and Copy Files.

[luapfr]

I notice that the file copy is not being done by the multi-Commander, it is showing me the normal Windows window.

And when I click to perform the file compression Clicking with the other mouse button and going to the option "MultiCommander" -> "Compress Files" nothing happens

Do I have to do some configuration for these functions to work ?

Version 12.8 B2929  Windows 10 64 Bits   MultiCommander in Administrator.

It depends on HOW you starts a copy operation. 
Normally MC will do the copy.. But if you do copy / paste the copy operation will be handled by Windows since it might require special handling of Windows.

And when I click to perform the file compression Clicking with the other mouse button and going to the option "MultiCommander" -> "Compress Files" nothing happens

Strange. I cannot reproduce that.
You should get a Pack files dialog where you then select what packer to use and target name.. and the if you press Ok it pack the selected files into a zip (if you selected zip)

See this attached video

I made several types of file copies and they all use the windows copy.

See also file compression that does nothing.

Yes if you do Copy /Paste. Then the Windows Copy process is used..
Not sure what you changed to make the make pack and that not work, But I guess something been change that conflict with each other.  I'm not able to replicate that

How to make the Copy Process be from MultiCommander ?

How to make the Copy Process be from MultiCommander ?

All other way should use MC copy progress.  Copy from Menu, From Button panel, Toolbar Command (command 6) , drag and drop,  hot Key (Default F5 / F4 depending on default cfg), and some other way

Did you see the Video I did exactly what you are saying and it doesn't work

Do you want to access my machine by teamviwer

I don't know why it does not work for you.. Hmm the other panel, It is not that it shows a path that is virtual or invalid ?

[luapfr]

could you make a video for me
for Compressing files and also for all forms of copying files.

Sorry I can't do that, I'm away.
But there is noting to it.. just start and select some files in one of the panel. the select copy.. "Copy to" diaog is shown where it shows the target path of the other panel that is not in focus. and then you confirm all copy settings/options and it starts.
Not sure why it does not work for you.. The question is what settings have you tweaked. ?

You can try it in the portable version (it will not change any settings of your current instance) and then try it without changing any of the settings. with just the default settings.

I can't make it work

when you can make a video for me both copying and compression I will be very grateful

[Mathias (Author)]

Sorry. I cant create video..

If you do not even get it to work with portable version with default settings.. Then something is very strange. I don't even think a video would help.
A video would be to launch portable version, then select a file and press copy.

There must be something different with your setup that creates some sort of conflict. Or like I said before what is the other panel showing for path ? maybe it is a virtual / invalid copy target ?
