Beta Releases / Re: Multi Commander v3.0 BETA Build 1345
« on: February 18, 2013, 09:50:14 »"Folders can be forced to be sorted by name."Might be that you see a cached result. A refresh might be needed.
Does not work on network drives. It does lock the sorting of folders, but there not alphabetical.
Only folders that i manually set to alphabetical before i turn the setting on remain sorted correctly, but when i then navigate to any other folder, the sort is wrong.
"Always sort folders by name" also doesn't respect "Natural sorting" setting.I don't think so.
Most of the time it works.. looks to depend on what kind of names there are. fails sometimes.. I will see if it can be fix..
(Or if I just remove this again.. )

When MC launches the update it tells it to check beta but since it is restarted again because it downloads a newer version that option is lost.
It is possible to set that setting in the MultiUpdate settings.

Backup in MultiUpdate backup everything into a folder.
But there might be issues going from v3.x => v2.x since the configuration is change a bit in v3.0
The latest Portable on the web site is 2.8.2, What issue do you get with that ? Because you can not get the MCIcons.dll error in that version since that version does not use that file.

Sounds like the upgrade failed or something. Is the file MCIcons.dll there at all ?
There is no "stable" version that has MCIcons.dll, it is new for 3.0 and only in 3.0 so if "stable" also fails then it must fail on something else.
All version are here

Depends on how long the path was.
Most of the function in MC support a path up to 4096. If it is longer then that there still can be an issue

Support and Feedback / Re: why 'overwrite'
« on: February 10, 2013, 11:57:22 »
Yes that an issue with the error handling. Happens because the source file can not be deleted because of Readonly attribute. When moving a file that is not on the same partition a Copy and Delete is done.
Pressing 'overwrite' will delete source file. ( the file has already been copied. )

Support and Feedback / Re: Delete Dialog and Shell Context Questions
« on: February 06, 2013, 15:17:21 »I have looked through the docs and this forum, but I haven't been able to find the answer to these two questions.1. No it was to dangerous and too many accidental files got deleted by users so that option was removed. But I plan on maybe adding it again, but only for deleting to recycle bin. (Like Windows
1. Is it possible to turn off the delete dialog that appears when deleting files/folders? I don't want to be asked what options to use when deleting each and every time.
2. Is it possible to map a key to open the shell context menu? I know how to map a mouse click to open the shell context menu. However, I would like to use my keyboard to open the shell context menu. My keyboard is a compact type, so it does not have a shell context menu key like some keyboards have.
Thanks in advance.
. I might add a option to turn it off completely for permanent delete, But that option will not be exposed in settings. you will have to add that to the settings files manually. 2. The Context Menu button on the keyboard work. But if you are missing that key. like you are then you are out of luck. Maybe it is possible to remap that key to another key with some program.. But that would be system wide and not only in MC. I will see if it might be possible to add so that command can be customized.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Allow drop files on executables or cmd files
« on: February 06, 2013, 15:10:30 »
It is planned.. But right now there is a conflict when doing it between starting a copy of the dragged items or by execute file that files are dropped on.
A workaround (If you drop files a lot on the same exe) is to place the exe in the quick launch bar. Dropping files on a files there works.

Zip by its standard only allow for 7bit characters.
But there are settings to force what code page to use. They are still "experimental" (not widely tested) so you have to type the settings in the command line field
* Force the zip filesystem to use a custom codepage. Set Codepage using ":zipcp <cp num>" in the command line field. ( type ":zipcp -1" for current system codepage )
":zipcp 0" to restore to default behavior
* Force the zip filesystem to use the extended zip support for UTF8 when created Zip archive. Use commandline command ":ziputf8 1" to enable and ":ziputf8 0" to disable
