Support and Feedback / Column Sizes Lost in REG: after Restart

« on: July 15, 2017, 19:08:58 »

Build 2360, Win 7 Pro, x64

Mathias there is a column size issue for REG: tabs in build 2360 that was not present in build 2347.

It seems only to happen when the REG: tab is NOT in focus when MC is closed and reopened.

"Remember open path" is checked in "Explorer Panel Settings".

Steps to reproduce:

1: Arrange all tabs as per "1 Default Tab Layout" image
    Ctrl+Tab to REG: tab on right-hand side and note column widths (as per "2 Column Sizes for REG Tab" image)
    Ctrl+Tab to tab1 on right-hand side
    Close MC

2:Restart MC then Ctrl+Tab to REG: tab on right-hand side
   Note column widths (as per "3 Column Sizes for REG Tab After Restart" image)

This happens in every test I have done (more than 20).

If you need more info, let me know.

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: If some Files selected and double click at another file

« on: July 12, 2017, 00:52:22 »

Mathias,

  I think what @Matthias is saying is that only the file in focus should be opened on a double-click (the other - selected - files should simply remain selected, not opened).

A real-world example would be if I wanted to move a selection of photos from one folder to another, I would select the files I know should be moved, and then open/preview the files I was not certain needed to be moved by double-clicking on them (without losing my original selection).

@Matthias, sorry if I got this wrong!

Hi Ulf.

I see!  I was translating the whole line as a regular RegEx   I didn't realise the "|" was part of the MC Rename process (I've never used it).

No wonder I got confused (well, the syntax and my great age)

I'm a Perl RegEx man myself, so the syntax is slightly different anyway.  But you would still need to escape the "(" and ")" for any flavour of RegEx.

Have you tried:

  ...| \($1\)

(just a WAG) ?

Hi Ulf.

I am unclear as to what the expressions is doing...

(19[0-9][0-9])|($1)  translates as:

Find AND capture ["19" followed by 2 digits] OR [the first match found]

Is that correct?

@OldskoolOrion

Have you tried installing MC portable into a new folder, make no other changes whatever and checking if you see the same results?

If you see the same results, you have (IMHO) to suspect the keyboard drivers.  If you do not see the behaviour, it has to be something in the way you have configured MC (probably).

Just my 2 cents...

Support and Feedback / Re: Automatically re-sort of folders still not working

« on: May 14, 2017, 00:26:20 »

Sorry Mathias, but I see the same behaviour (just not noticed before) 

If focus goes to another application (eg., Alt+Tab) and is then returned to MC, the sort is correct (nothing in the logs).

I guess you could report the false positive, but don't hold your breath for a quick fix.

In the quick bit of research I did on your behalf, I found over 1700 reports of the issue affecting many programs going back to 2014 and as recently as March this year

Which scanning tool reported the "unauthorized file encryption"?

If this was TrendMicro (or their OfficeScan product) it is a known problem (false positive).

If you do not want to change AV, you can (as a workaroud) switch off heuristic scanning.

Thanks for this Mathias - some very useful additions here

Would it be possible to make this

CHANGE- MultiScript Debugger window will now replace none breaking space with normal space (Can happen if you copy/paste script from some web browser)

a user-set option?

I sometimes use character 0160...

Starting my testing now

Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Copy a Tab beside the active tab and not at the end of all tabs

« on: April 05, 2017, 23:29:18 »

It will be very much better when this Tab-Copy will be created directly beside the active Tab

Sorry Matthias, but this a matter of preference: I am very happy with a new tab being opened at the end of the existing row - then I know it is not one of my "standard" ( and locked) tabs.

I also want all tabs to open NOT in the background (or why open a new tab - I want the information NOW?).  And MC is not an Internet Browser, after all

It seems your idea of a "good internet experience" is different from mine (and maybe some other folks)

Matthias,

 I am unable to reproduce this in 6.9.1 (2306) or in v7.0 RC1...

How are you copying/moving: Ctrl+C/Ctrl+X or from the File menu or via the mouse or...?

Are you using Commander- or Explorer-Style?

@G90210

1)  I don't believe so (but Mathias will know for sure)

2)  In Configuration > Explorer Panel Settings > Keyboard handling: make sure 'Quick Search' is checked and set 'Search keys' to 'Letter Only'

3)  I believe this is a limitation of Windows Portable Devices (but Mathias will know for sure).  To force a refresh, in the drive list at the top left of the Explorer Panel, click 'Refresh Devices' (bottom option).

HTH

Herrie,
  you say that you have some scripting experience.

If so, this may be of some help:
http://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7125

Also, are you trying to convert the file date to the ISO week number (where week 1 is the first week containing Jan 4th), or the American system (where Jan 1st is the beginning of week 1), or something else...?

Tab Colors are active.

It seems to be connected with the Colors section of the Quick Look'n'Feel setup.  If I make any change there, the Settings tabs are coloured correctly.

As I said, I make almost no changes to the OOB configration in the test environment, including not using Quick Look'n'Feel setup, in order not to cloud my beta testing.

Consider the issue closed, thanks Mathias.

Very little changed from OOB setup - it helps to test more accurately with new features/changes without my interference

Pressing Save does not change MultiCommander.xml.  But...

If I manually add the correct color to <tabs>...<settingspanel>... in MultiCommander.xml, it works!

Also just noticed that in my "live" installation, that the "orange" color (FA9D3B) is also defined in Core Settings for "Settings" tabs, but the tab colors are, in fact, all white.  Am I missing another setting somewhere?

Hi Mathias.

In v6.9.9  Build 2325, I cannot get the Settings panel tab colours to work properly (see attached).

I have set the Settings panel tab colour to be an "orange" shade, but the tab renders as "purple".

What am I missing

I might have got the same results, but there seems to be some inconsistency.  I can't pin down what, though.

I need to check more rigorously.  I'll get back to this topic...

Portable version do not store session data in the registry, but a file.

That's good to hear Mathias - that is correct behaviour for a portable app

I thought I had read that Ulf was using the portable version; my mistake
