Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: extended EXIF data for colums

« on: August 25, 2014, 22:10:02 »

No.. very strange.. I'm not able to reproduce it. I get the exif data from all images I got here.
Might be that the images are special and that I can not extract the exif data?

If you select some images and select menu > tools > Picture Tools > Export EXIF metadata
That will create a file next to the image with the meta data as "<imgfilename>-EXIF-data.txt" file..  Do they contain anything ?

You got over 50.000 images there..  all the extended columns are fetched in the background. and with 50.000+ files it can takes sometime. They show up when they have been fetched.  If you scroll around you might find some items already got fetched, and you will see them pop in..

Orginal date and DTDigitized are not same

original datetime is the 0x9003 field. and that is include and shown if you enabled the "Picture (EXIF) - Date" column

0x9003 was chosen since some cameras do not fill the 0x9004 field.

But they are almost the same
0x9003 - For a digital still camera, this is the date and time the picture was taken or recorded.
0x9004 - The date and time when the image was stored as digital data. (usually the same as 0x9003)

PS: sometimes EXIF "Dimensions" are not shown in column (even after 'updating) - even though the data is present in the jpg info

To get the EXIF Dimensions is uses the EXIF field 0xA002 and 0xA003, Are you sure that that image has them.. ?
There is also a column called "Picture (IMG) - Dimensions" this will get the dimensions from the JPG file it self. not from EXIF data.

Not sure what you mean..

But when using ..\ path in the beginning it depends on what the working folder of MC is. and you can never assume that MCs working folder is the MC start folder. Plugins and ShellExtensions or other situations can change the working folder of MC.
So use the "${mcinstallpath}" tag to reference to the install folder.

Code: [Select]

MC.Run CMD="${mcinstallpath}\..\Portables\Hddb\hddb-2.5.1.x86.exe" STARTIN="${mcinstallpath}\..\Portables\Hddb\"(And two dots instead of three )

1) Bit hard to say what you did wrong. and when you have the result you can copy the names of all the selected items with Menu > Tools > To Clipboard > xxx

2) MC is designed for multi panel usage. (Source and target panel) If you run in 100/0 the "hidden" panel is still there and a lot of features will work on the "Target" panel. And if you minimize it to 0 size you can do things in that panel without so seeing what you are doing. Therefore it will not save a 100/0 setup.
You can force it by script that run at startup.

3) Strange. YOu have a use case where this happening ? it is the same with F5/F2 (Depending on keysetup) or only if you click refresh button ?

4) I do not know what "shift files" is ?

Beta Releases / Re: File context menu doesn't work on 4.5.1766

« on: August 13, 2014, 22:23:00 »

The thing is that the ContextMenu is build by Windows. MC is just calling Windows to show a context menu for item X.. Everything behind the scene is handled by windows.
When the popup menu is bulit the first time it will loads all of the registered shell extension into MC and this can takes some time.
Normally only the first time it shows it, it is slow.  So some shell extension is taking its time to decide what menu items it what to add to the popup menu (if any)
The problem is that it is not very easy to figure out what shell extension is slowing it down.

Have you installed any new shell extension resonantly ?

Also most shell extension are also only tested for WindowsExplorer and some of them assume that the calling windows is Windows Explorer, And when it is not they can behavior strange.
Also some shell extension is not working well together with other shell extension. I seen all kind of crazy thing with badly written shell extension.
But that why someone created a tool to easily list and enable/disable them :  ShellExView  ( http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html )

Shell Extension are know to be able to cause many strange issues.
Weird issues by context menu handlers

Disappearing Menu is something else. Something must steal the focus away from MC.  It is strange that the language thing goes away and comes back.
Also the dropdown box on the taskbar look suspicious.  ComboBoxes 'can' steal focus if they are repositions. and since the language button is removed this is moved.
Anyway.. something is interfering with the showing of the menu.
Is it only the context menu that gets canceled ? or is it all popup menus ? likeif you right click on commandline field or right click on the filter icon.

Can't reproduce it here.

Was it the same if you used the keyboard conextmenu button ? if you show other popup menu in other places do they also auto close  ?

Very weird kind of steps. Do you have any program that hook them self into windows like autohotkey or some other tool that intercepts windows calls. ?
There is no logic why MC should cancel the popup directly when it is shown. it only happens if anohter windows get input focus so that the popup is losing focus.

That is strange, nothing about that has changed since last version.
It works for me. so it is not a general error..

What if you press the "context menu" key on the keyboard.. (the key too the right of the right windows key)
Is it on all files or only on some file type  ?

You say "Some other window appears" can that be the menu that popup but goes away directly ? or is it something completely different

That worked before.. But a lot people accidentally closed the windows when they did not want to close it so it was blocked.
You can close it with Alt+F4. Main app is not closing if this is pressed in that window.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Quick Create Folder Addition

« on: August 12, 2014, 09:33:37 »

Adding user input for the quick create  folder is not possible.

But in the normal Create Folder dialog you can press F9 to current date and the you can insert your text

Or you can script it using MultiScript..

Code: [Select]

@var $targetFolder = GetSourcePath();
@var $now = GetTime();
@var $date = FormatDate( "yyyy-MM-dd" , $now );
@var $text = AskText("Enter text to add after date", "", 0);

@var $newFolder = $targetFolder ^ $date + "_" + $text;
MakeDir( $newFolder );
Then assign that script to a shotcut key or menu option.

MC do not leave partial rows at the top only at the bottom.
And if the it is too much of the last line hidden then the scrollbar is set so that is possible to scroll one more line.

Support and Feedback / Re: Issue with .bat and robocopy.

« on: August 11, 2014, 08:26:21 »

Ice-Man's script works. I tried it..

Look at the error

"ERROR : You do not have the Backup and Restore Files user rights.
*****  You need these to perform Backup copies (/B or /ZB).

ERROR : Robocopy ran out of memory, exiting.

You probably need to run the script as admin as robocopy need more then standard permissions. Also it says it run out of memory

The error texts are from robocopy.. not MC.  MC ONLY creates a bat script from the script you wrote in MC. The only thing MC do are to replace MC specific tags like ${sourcepath}, And then the script is handed off to Windows just like all normal .bat script.
MC do not run the bat script it self. Windows run the script using cmd.exe as all bat script are.

And MC did not delete your files.. robocopy did.  MC only creates the script. and then windows run that script
My guess it that you did /MIR but swapped the source and destination parameter in one of your tests.
using /MIR will delete files on target if that files does not exists on source.

If you are going to run bat script you need to understand how bat scripting work.

update--
found if I drag the window size around it can go away & nothing is cropped.  I notice the space between the top 2 toolbars becomes much longer than normal at times - unless this is just me never noticing.... 

That is a Windows UI bug that I have no control over..  You can force the drive button toolbar to be placed on its own line then that will not happen

Thanks for the fast response Mathias. 
I was using "Thumbnail Detailed" mode.  Using centre alignment for "Thumbnail Detailed" means the thumbnail is complete & the 'whitespace' below it is cropped.  Bottom alignment crops the thumbnail itself.

No the thumbnail is not cropped.  If the thumbnail is wide it will be align against the top of the line if alignment is top..  if it is bottom it is aligned to the bottom of the line.

My 'problem' is the view of text in 'detailed' mode as per the attachment above - I see the last line horizontally cropped now. 

The last line is only haft shown since the Windows is not big enough to show the complete line

I noticed that altering thumbnail alignment does now alter the view (I saw same issues as Jungle). W7x64
In some cases the bottom of a thumbnail can be 'cropped' to fit the viewing space of the pane.
Now alignment will alter this.
However in details mode I see the last text line is 'cropped' in the view space.
This may be the same issue - item display vs viewable area - if the thumbnail is bottom aligned it loses a bit at the bottom.  For text (details view) alignment won't recover the filename visibility.

Hope it's not too tough to fix as I like a little whitespace at the foot of my display. 

Thumbnail aligment only works for view mode "Thumbnail Detailed" and only if you use the "Windows" thumbnail engine (WinVista+).
But that option will go away, aligning tumbnails top/bottom does not look good.
