Support and Feedback / Re: Last Beta v15.5 Build 3094 Copy and Cut functions are not operative

« on: Yesterday at 11:11:18 »

"Dx Click" ? Don't know what that is. Is that a special tool ?

But if you mean that you select Copy from the Shell Context Menu that is shown from the popup menu by right click (or other way, depending on config) to copy the file and the "paste" to paste in the file.
(That is actually the same actions as Ctrl+C/V but from a different way. Both copy operations are handled by Windows.)

I can't replicate any issue with that. It works all the ways I try it.

Since the copy/paste goes thru the shell Context menu, every ShellExtension install is getting loaded in MC. And they can intercept and do things.

To narrow it down if it is the copy or paste that is an issue. you can try to do Copy in MC and then Paste in Windows Explorer. and then the other way around.

As I said above.  If the file is missing under userprofile. it will restore it.
MC normally does not delete it. I don't know why it gets delete for you, can be security software or sandboxing software, can be that when it gets updated and written to disk it gets corrupted because of bad HD. 
Only time MC delete the file is if the file is corrupted. BUT then it will be shown in the log as "Delete config file : <file>"
But if the "Delete config file : <file>" is NOT shown in the log. Then MC did not delete it. and something else did.

What copy / cut/ paste function do you mean if you do not mean ctrl+c ?

Can you describe a step by step on how to reproduce it ?.. (there are many many many ways to copy files in MC, So exactly what "copy" operation do you start that does not work)

If log does did not say anything something like "Sending 'copy to clipboard' command to Windows for the selected items" in newer version,
then something is blocking the Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V command to be sent to MC. Often it is security software

Only different from 15.4 => 15.5 is that it now prints out lots more logging for some situation

First, I'm using 100/0, not 0/100.  And if these are so unsafe then they shouldn't be options in the system.

And yes, I do have my tabs configured in the Randy_tabs.ini.

But that isn't the relevant issue at the moment.  I need someone to tell me where and how to set the width in the navigation pane/folder tree panel so that it is saved and opens that way each time I close and reopen MC.

100/0 or 0/100 same things

Exactly that is why there is no option to save one side as permanently hidden.
Normally if you close MC with a 60/40 split it will remember that but will not remember a permanently hidden one.
That why you must do special tricks that are not recommended to force it, and if you do that, it is on your own risk.

About the folder tree.
The FolderTree will normally remember it size between restarts.
But since you are starting from a startup file you might need to edit the value in that file instead.

To get all the values for the startup file..
start without a startup file from normal version,  setup your tabs, close app, The session config like tab information is stored in the registry.
at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MultiCommander\SessionHistory\a4c2985d9c7e4035a3221cfd600171d0\AutoLoad\
Then copy those values to your startup ini files.  or the values you want to use.

There is no change for that.  And it work for me. I cannot replicate that.
Check the App log Ctrl+L, It should say if the copy/paste command is sent from MC to Windows (Since windows is then handling the copy)

Make sure you do not have some 3rd party tool active that hijack those keys,

Old version are available on the website..

Okey.. Looks normal. ?
there is not "Deleted config file " line there. so MC did not delete the file during startup

Printing what ? A text file ?  File list ?

Any file like Word document, PDF-Document. Or CAD. Select files to print and use the command.

You mean native own printing. Than MC would have to be able to open and render all those format.. Sorry that will not happen
But if you have office install and right click on an office file.. you get print option in the shell context menu. But then Office is handling the printing.

- I'd like NODIALOG added to DeleteFiles e.g.

Code: [Select]

@var $options[] = {“RECYLE”};  "NODIALOG"   
DeleteFiles($array, $options);  (Maybe Recyle needs to be spell-checked?  )

DeleteFile already support NODIALOG option.. and RECYCLE. it is actually the documentation that misspell it. the code actually require it as RECYCLE

// Deletes all selected files to recycle. No confirm dlg, no progress

Code: [Select]

@var $filenames = GetSourceSelectedPaths();
@var $options[] = {"NODIALOG", "RECYCLE", "NOPROGRESS"};
DeleteFiles( $filenames, $options);

The 0/100 split size is not an settings that exists, becuse of safty reason. You use an special workaround at own risk for that to set that, becuse now you are using MC in a way it is not intended to work.
At startup you run the User defined command "ChangeSplitSize", that probably set the split size to 0/100., but all scripts are located in the Config/Scripts folder so if you copied the entire config folder and subfolders then it should be there.

You have defined some startup tabs in the  Randy_tasbs.ini , so make sure that also exists. It is not in the config folder..you places that ini file in the userdata folder.
Make sure you are copy all files and subfolders when you copy the config folder.

All settings should be there if you copied over everything from the config/ folder.
Not sure what other settings you are refereing to.

All user configurations are stored in  C:\Users\randy\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Config,
The files in C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\Config  does not need to be copied. these are default files that are used on first startup and such.
But as soon as you save a setting. they are saved under the user profiles.

100/0 split is not a supported senario for MC by default since MC is not designed to work like that, You probably did some trick that you autorun some custom command at start up and that command changed split size ?
Check the shortcut you used on your only setup

Run Veracrypt my self and never had any issue, So there is no general issue with veracrypt

Often when startup takes time it is because MC is waiting for a call to Windows to timeout. Because sometimes windows does not know yet if device that is a network shares is available or not, So the first time it access it it going to take a while before it times out and Windows then caches that.

I never seen an issue with veracrypt. MC see that as any other normal drive.

In Core settings enable full application logging,  restart, And then when it start up you can in the log (Ctrl+L) or view the logfile. see what part is taking time.

You can also create a Dump file of Multicommander.exe when it has hanged from TaskManager and then zip that and upload it to https://multicommander.com/support/upload
Then I might be able to see what it is waiting for.

No info in the log (ctrl+L) ?
If MC replaces the file. it will say
"Deleted config file : <file>" in the log window.

I can't reproduce that. I did a change to my MultiButtons.xml file last time and it is still there.

Only time it restores the "default" file is if the file under the userprofile is missing. (If something else removed it, Or something blocked MC from writing a new version of the file if it button layout was changed)
So if the file C:\Users\XXXXXXX\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Config\multibuttons.xml is NOT there. then MC will copy in the default file from <install location>\Config to the userprofile. But it only happens if the file is missing from the userprofile

- I would like to be able to set MScript to recurse sub-dirs - as with DOS script cmds e.g.

Code: [Select]

for /d /r "%base_dir%" %%d in (.) do

Don't understand.. you want a MultiScript function to get a list of files for a folder and subfolders. ?

User defined commands for printing and “New Text Document”. New tabs should open next to the active tab instead of at the end of the tab bar.

Printing what ? A text file ?  File list ?

Yes if you select regex it will try to use that as a regexp and since it does not contains any special control characters, the regexp will just do a match for it.

It works for me.

Might be that you are searching using wildcard and you have no wildcards there.  Try select "contains"

If you want to match both Tritonal-Kinetik  and Tritonal_Kinetik , do a wildcard search for "Tritonal?Kinetik"
If "ANY" character at that places is not good and you only want _ or - then you have to go for regex

In you click on advanced and open the advanced find files dialog you have more control and can also set items to exclude and so on

I don't know why Ctrl+V stop showing that. Might be a windows bug. MC has no control over that at all. When you do "paste" MC just tell windows to "paste" the clipbard content into path X. Then Windows does the rest.
So if Ctrl+V does not show a progress dlg for large files, Try reboot. Else there is some issue with Windows, anyway MC has no control over the WIndows Shell progress dialog at all.

* Normally mc is faster. but a lot of things affect speed, also Windows does not show real time. It say it done when it has written to the cache, Not everything might be actually written to drive yet. When MC say it is done when data is actually completed the write to the disk and cache are flushed.
But there should be not much different. They all read and write the files in the same way. Not many ways to do that. But a lot of things affect copy speed. specially some security software do extra hard check for write from 3rd party program. and more relaxed when it is done from Windows own process. Many many things affect speed and it is also very hard to actually get the correct way to actually time it correctly since some say they are done when the last write to the file have completed. When actually the data is not written to disk yet. but still is in the cache waiting to be written to disk

You mean the Path field?  you enter edit mode in the path field. and auto complete for the path does not work ?

There is no setting for that. it should just work. The Autocomplte is handled by Windows. so if Windows understand the path, it should shown an autocomplete..
Auto complete does not work for Virtual path SFTP: WPD: FTP and for path inside archives..
And if you turn off autocomplete for Windows. it will also affect this.
