Script / get path name and replace drive and open in target panel
« on: March 27, 2015, 10:44:12 »
Hello, I want to get the path name in the source panel and replace the drive letter in it and open the result in target panel.
For example, in source panel I have the following path Y:\Projects, I want to open the directory P:\Projects in the target panel. I tried writing a script but doesn't work.

Script:
@var $path = GetSourcePath();
@var $str = StrReplace($path, "Y:" , "P:");
MC.Explorer.Goto PATH=$str

I see that $str has the path P:\Projects but MC.Explorer command does not execute properly. Also, how can I ask MC.Explorer.Goto to open this window in the target panel instead of source panel.

Thanks.

Support and Feedback / Copy options
« on: August 30, 2014, 19:02:01 »
Hello,

I have a directory say (Main) and inside this I have a set of files (file1, file2, etc) and folder (folder1, folder2, etc). Now I want to copy the Main directory to another location but I want to copy only the files in it and not the folders. Is there a filter I can use to do this?

Manually, I can do this by creating a Main directory in the target location and say Hide folders in source Main directory and copy the files alone. I am trying to see if there is a easy way to do it.

Thanks.

Support and Feedback / file search and delete
« on: April 02, 2014, 12:41:19 »
I use the file search option and search for all files in a specific folder and in the search window I select some specific file and delete and it does it properly as long as the file extension is not "RSL". Is this a bug or something else? Thanks.

Support and Feedback / Userdefined Commands XML file
« on: March 26, 2014, 15:53:38 »
I made some changes in the Userdefined Commands XML file and I thought once I close and open MC, the changes will take effect. But to my surprise, when I closed and opened MC, none of my user defined commands show up in GUI but I see the XML file is intact. Is there any other place I need to make changes for MC to reload the XML file?

Support and Feedback / Commandline field history

Is it possible to keep the commandline field history saved so that when I close and open it again, I can see the history.

Support and Feedback / delete certain files in multiple folders
« on: March 17, 2014, 17:18:26 »
Hello,

I have a main directory, which has say 20 folders. Each folder has a certain set of files (*.txt,*.dat,*.xls, etc). Out of these 20 folders, I want to keep only *.txt in 15 of these folders (which I select) and delete the rest of the files in the 15 folders. The remaining folders, I don't want to be touched.

Currently, I just select the 15 folders, move it to a temp directory (and while moving give options so that the move command moves only *.txt) and the delete the source folders and then move the folders from the temp directory to my working directory.

Is there a easier way to do this in MC?

Thanks.

Support and Feedback / Copy files without directory structure
« on: November 15, 2013, 08:35:39 »
I have a root directory and a directory structure inside it. I want to copy all the files in root and its sub directories (recursively) but I do not want the folder/directory structure inside the root directory. How can I do it in MC? Thanks.

Support and Feedback / Frame height and width in explorer panel
« on: August 25, 2013, 04:12:46 »
I have a set of movies and I would like to see the frame height and width of the movies. In windows explorer, I can choose those columns but how do I do it here (http://www.justanswer.com/computer/2q71z-movie-files-mkv-wmv-avi.html). Thanks.

Support and Feedback / Filters for a specific drive
« on: July 30, 2013, 11:34:08 »
I have a network drive (say Y drive) and when I open it in MC, I want to apply some file filters by default. I want to hide folders starting with a '.' and files that start with '.'

As can be guessed this network drive is a unix drive and I do not want to show files that starts with a '.'

I would like it to be my default whenever MC opens any sub-directory (or root) of this drive.

Thanks.

Support and Feedback / download previous versions - portable media
« on: February 11, 2013, 08:27:27 »
My MC got screwed when it upgraded to the new beta version. (Running on Win XP 64 bit, it gives an error failed to load MCIcons.dll). Even the stable 64-bit version doesn't seem to work. I would like to download previous versions of the 64-bit but portable. Where can I find that? Thanks.

Support and Feedback / Copying path to clipboard with forward slashes
« on: January 18, 2013, 08:46:33 »
When we do a Ctrl+P, it copies the entire path to clipboard with backward slashes like C:\Users\Karthik\.. etc. Is there a way to copy the path with forward slashes like this C:/Users/Karthik/...

Since I am using this path in unix machines, having forward slashes will help greatly instead of me doing a find replace everytime.

Thanks.

Support and Feedback / Folder refresh not happening immediately
« on: January 11, 2013, 12:41:35 »
I am using MC 64-bit latest (beta) version. Here when I copy files to folders (local drive or shared network drives), the files get copied but the files don't show up in the explorer pane. Even after I do the refresh button it doesn't show up. Only after I restart MC it shows up. Could you let me know what could be the cause of such a problem. Thanks.

Support and Feedback / 32 bit and 64 bit
« on: December 22, 2012, 14:14:08 »
I use a 32-bit MC portable version across different computers. One of my computers I use is a 64-bit. While 32-bit MC works fine on the 64-bit machine, is there a strong reason for me to have the 64-bit MC on my 64-bit machines? Will I have some limitation if I use a 32-bit MC on a 64-bit machine? Thanks.

Support and Feedback / duplicate tab in panel
« on: December 20, 2012, 08:16:27 »
I know that we can duplicate a tab in panel-1 to a tab in panel-2 by using Ctrl+.

But this replaces the existing tab in panel-2 when the duplication occurs. I would like to create a new tab and duplicate. Is there a short-cut for that? OR how do I replace the Ctrl+. shortcut to do this job?

Thanks.

Support and Feedback / MC install path
« on: November 29, 2012, 16:51:42 »
I am doing a user defined command and for that I need to get the MC install path - which I can get from ${mcinstallpath}. I need to go up one directory and add a different directory to it. For example if MC install path is C:\Portable\Multicommander, I am writing a Uerdefined command which has the following text:

WScript C:\Portable\FreefileSync\HideConsole.vbs C:\Portable\FreefileSync\Compare.cmd "${leftpath}" "${rightpath}"

I would like to replace the C:\Portable using the main path of multicommander installation. How do I do that?

Thanks.

Support and Feedback / make a copy of a file
« on: September 28, 2012, 08:08:32 »
Is there a shortcut to make a copy of the file in the same directory. An equivalent of Ctrl+C followed by Ctrl+V (in windows explorer which creates a copy of the file in the same directory with a tag "Copy" added). Thanks.

Support and Feedback / open a closed tab
« on: September 07, 2012, 08:50:18 »
Is there a shortcut key to open a recently closed tab. (Like in Chrome, when a tab is closed, we can open the recently closed tab using Ctrl+Shift+T  and doing this multiple times opens the recently closed tabs in the order last closed first opened). If this is not already available wouldn't it be useful to add?

Support and Feedback / Rename shortcut
« on: August 24, 2012, 10:35:41 »
Is there a shortcut to rename a file (In Windows explorer it was F2 but am using the Commander style look and feel). THanks.

Support and Feedback / get path from both explorer panels
« on: August 24, 2012, 09:59:46 »
I would like to call a batch file from within MC using the paths displayed in the two explorer panel path rows as arguments... Something like

runbatch.bat leftpath rightpath

Is there a way to do this?

Support and Feedback / Thumbnail list more
« on: August 23, 2012, 07:07:07 »
I am using the latest version 2.7 Build 1171 (32-bit, Portable on Win7). In View->Exploere Panel -> View Mode, there are three choices (Details, list and Thumbnail list (Beta)). But Thumbnail list (Beta) is greyed out and I am not able to select. The change log for the new version says thumbnail list mode but am unable to use it. Is there any option in Core settings or Explorer panel settings that I need to turn on?

When I type in a network share \\server\folder1\folder2, MC goes to that folder but the path row is either blank (if it is opened on a new tab) or showing the old path (if it is opened in an existing tab). This wasn't the case before I upgraded to the latest version. Before, I was able to see the network path in the path row and it was clickable. However if the same path is mapped to a network drive then the path row starts to show the drive letter and other details. Is there a setting that am missing? Can you please help/check? Thanks.

« on: August 18, 2012, 04:46:20 »
Is there a way to hide/remove the link to parent folder in the explorer panel? See image attached. Thanks
